Updated blogroll

A “blogroll” is a list of favorite blogs. Every so often, I update my blogroll to reflect current reality–what I am reading these days (this changes, naturally, over time). There is a navigation tab on the Inkwatu website labeled Blogroll from which the list below is drawn. However, people usually don’t visit a blog’s actual website, choosing instead to read the blog in a blog reader, such as Google Reader; as a result, they never see the navigation tabs

Even if they do visit the actual website–something that every blogger wishes happened more often (there are some neat things there)–often the readers don’t visit pages on the website other than the main page where the posts are. Or, they visit them once, and then neglect to ever read them again. So…I thought I’d post this update of my blogroll.

The category, “Fun Stuff,” are blogs that I really look forward to reading every day–they bring me a lot of pleasure.
