No wonder the list is on vacation. Quoting:

total blogs crawled: 141175
total wordpress blogs: 6896
total Blogger blogs: 38160
total Typepad blogs: 3438
total .Text blogs: 1005
total BlogTool 1.4 blogs: 2583

Lot of WordPress blogs to crawl, making for a very long page. No way will I make my blogroll that long.

Yeah, tried this, should be obvious that I was goofing off. Modified it a tad based on this theme at the styles contest.

Must credit Aimless for this find that I should have know about. And ignore my comment there, was falling asleep when I wrote it. Might have had something to do with why I slept for a good 18 hours afterward.

I may use the blue green theme for a simplified, less bandwidth intensive design with some mods, not that one of course. More manly pink perhaps, haha!

The New York Times weighs in on bloggers.

The number of bloggers has grown quickly, thanks to sites like blogger.com, which makes it easy to set up a blog. Technorati, a blog-tracking service, has counted some 2.5 million blogs.

Of course, most of those millions are abandoned or, at best, maintained infrequently. For many bloggers, the novelty soon wears off and their persistence fades.

Sometimes, too, the realization that no one is reading sets in. A few blogs have thousands of readers, but never have so many people written so much to be read by so few. By Jupiter Research’s estimate, only 4 percent of online users read blogs.

Um, yeah right. No one reads Glenn, source of link, either, btw he is not addicted.

Not me. I can quit any time.

Myself, I didn’t blog while I was in the hospital despite WordPress making it possible to blog by phone. Don’t blog at work either. I will state blogging made recovering from an lami more bearable. And since I am supposed to not overdo and stress out with this MS, laying around blogging works for me.

Now as to credibility, blogs have it all over the NYT. Yeah, think they are jealous that people trust bloggers more than that rag. More widely read too. There’s a whole lot more on that over at Michele’s definitely worth reading.

Haven’t felt like blogging much. Sure I’ll think of something. Not like I’m doing anything fun like shopping and redecorating, or pondering her loss, that is one pain I never experienced, oh wait, Blogger - ok sortof experienced. So to fill the void, a pic of a pair of real happy cats.
