Now, I\u2019m not going to come over and ask to borrow a cup of sugar, or anything creepy like that. But chances are high that I will not only read your blog, and maybe even write something linking to you.<\/p>\nIf your site is listed in one of my blogrolls, that makes you my neighbor!<\/p>\n
Now, I\u2019m not going to come over and ask to borrow a cup of sugar, or anything creepy like that. But chances are high that I will not only read your blog, and maybe even write something linking to you.<\/p>\n
Every week I\u2019ll post a link to 4 (very random, mind you) blogs from each of my blogrolls, and a bit about what they\u2019re up to (according to recent posts). So I\u2019ve chosen a few random blogs to find out what they\u2019re posting about\u2026<\/p>\n
Enjoy! They are here\u2026<\/p>\n

\nThis helps me help you get traffic, as well as helps you to see who\u2019s linking back to you.<\/p>\n
\nYou don\u2019t have trackbacks by default on Blogger.com sites.<\/p>\n
\nWell, there are a few. You don\u2019t HAVE to enable trackbacks in some cases. You do if you want different options.<\/p>\n
\nYour site takes for-freaking-ever for me to load in my browser. This is because you have too many graphics in your site or you have 2 gajillion posts on your home page.<\/p>\n
\nTry to cut down on the number of posts on your home page. To do this in WordPress, just go to \u2018Manage\u2019 > \u2018Reading\u2019 and keep your number of posts to display down to about 20. If they are fairly short (2-8 paragraphs) with not a lot of photos (1 or 2 each). If your posts tend to be more long-winded and\/or contain a lot of graphics, cut this down to about 5-10.<\/p>\n
\nIf you have any popups, chances are HIGH that you will never be featured here. Your site is annoying to me and likely to others as well.<\/p>\n
\nGet rid of the popups. No one likes them, and they can\u2019t be THAT important. If they are the kind of popups that you sign up for to get more traffic, cancel your membership already.<\/p>\n
