On Adding A Blogroll Slashpage
I've been giving (probably too much) thought to adding a blogroll slashpage. I've not necessarily been excited about doing a traditional one for a number of reasons like:
- Blogs come and go1 and sometimes very quickly.
- Sometimes it can be tricky to endorse content when we don't really know people.
- If I add people does it create weird expectations to reciprocate? (I hope not but who knows?)
- When is it ok to add or delete? Whats the appropriate criteria?
With Junited 2024 going strong, I've decided to try a different type of blogroll. It will actually be a /postroll, kind of like Junited 2024. I'm going to aim to have the 50-602 currently most impactful posts (for whatever reason - whether it's a recipe I want to try, a deep dive into a topic of interest or just something fun).
This will guarantee each post gets about 2 months on the list. It allows for adding significant posts even if I don't know much else about the content. It allows potentially fun or obscure content that might only be temporarily available to surface and be enjoyed. It'll start this month with the Junited entries and will carry on even as June ends.
Back when I first started blogging in the early to mid 2000s I had one in my side bar and probably 99% of those sites either no longer exist or are radically different↩
I initially thought 50 but then I thought, "If I aim for a post a day, 60 would guarantee about 2 months on the list." I'll finalize soon.↩
