A quick housekeeping post. You may wonder why the blogroll page is gone and why the sidebar blogroll is shorter (or maybe not). Let me explain.
I decided to get rid of the blogroll page because it received very little traffic and was quite frankly a mess. I decided to place my blogroll on the sidebar instead. Currently the sidebar represents blogs that link to me, but I will expand.
You may have noticed that it is shorter – I had over 50 blogs listed. They are still there. I have a “better blogroll” widget in my sidebar which just shows 25 (you can set it for however many you want) links. When the page is refreshed it will show different blogs – pretty cool huh? I saw this on Anne Jackson’s blog and knew I wanted to add it when I updated my blog to WordPress 2.6.2 which I did last night.
These links still count toward the Technorati authority of your blog if you were listed before. I would also like to encourage you if you have a blog and would like to do a link exchange to e-mail me at shane@caffeinatedthoughts.com or comment on this post. My three main qualifications are that you don’t have a blog that I wouldn’t want my kids to see (no explicit material), that it is an actual blog not spam and not just links, and while it doesn’t need to be a Christian blog I won’t link to blogs that denigrate (not disagree) with the Christian faith. So if your blog is an “all Christians are stupid” type blog – don’t bother.
Also I moved my podcast back into my blog – so my regular blog readers can be “blessed” with it as well. I did that mainly because I was getting tired of keeping up a seperate site for it. You can still subscribe to it in iTunes or another podcatcher.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I actually found your blog on a fellow apologist and friend – “Beauty of the Bible.”
I have a feeling you would fancy what is written on “The Writing on the Wall.” I have enjoyed what you write, the way you share your insight and how you deliver your passion.
If you are interested, holler. Would love to share links.
Peace,

…..I just realized that I don’t ever GO to your front page!
I subscribe on google reader, and only hit the posts. ;^p
@HiScrivener – got you added.
@Foxfier – looks different doesn’t it? This template is kind of different that way – you don’t have the same sidebar, etc, but you are on my blogroll
. I am subscribed to your blog using Bloglines, but I think I’m going to try Google Reader.
I rather like it– especially since I can use it to put the blogs I read on the sidebar, along with their latest posts!
thank YOU. so glad you posted this, I’ve been looking for a rotating blogroll for while.
