reBlog! It's like reTweet (RT) on Twitter, but for Blogs. Got it?

My blog roll page is now up at last.  If you ask me – it rocks!  Probably because you are in it.  Or maybe because you are not.  Take your pick.

When it first went live it asked readers to accomplish a contact form so you can fill in your name, blog url, and other details.  See?  I have pretensions of being Mr. Nice Guy.

But then I got rid of that form.  Please don’t ask why.  Ahem.  My dabbling in democracy was shortlived.  I swung to the opposite extreme and turned dictatorial with my blog roll policy.

Well, I have to.  This is much  saner tack.  I will only consort with people I share a personal and meaningful relationship with.  Meaning I’d add you in my page if you meet any of  the following criteria:

1. You’re a reader of my blog.  If you just drop by for an exchange link and never to be seen again, I’m sorry you’re wasting your time.
2. You’re a friend or an online buddy.  Definition of buddy – you’re a reader, you engage me in Twitter, you talk with me in Facebook, you send me notes like – “the correct spelling of ocassion is occasion, you dimwit.”
3. You’re irresistible – If you write well you don’t even have to ask for it.  You’ve got a free pass, buddy.
4. You’re OMG cute – no explanation needed.  But there’s a catch.  You might be replaced with another OMG cutie if you don’t develop other qualities of a good blogging buddy – see requirement number 1 to 3.

If you’re unsure you’ve any of the four qualities I’m looking for, just leave me a note through my contact page anyway.  If I don’t act on it in it a reasonable period of time – say, for the rest of my natural life, please feel free to move on.  No hard feelings, I hope.

So what’s cooking with your blog roll policy?  Am I off the rails on this one?  Please speak your mind.
