I’m in the process of updating my Blogroll and other links, and at the same time expanding them.
This is really fiddly and time consuming work, so I plan to work on it a little at a time over the coming days or weeks.
The intention is to move most of my links onto a separate page, to unclutter the front of the blog and make it more Google friendly. You can see the links page I’m working on as a link off the front page of the blog.
In particular two categories of links I want to expand are Small Farming related sites, as well as Friends of Bifurcated Carrots. The later category is one for people and websites that aren’t strictly about heirloom gardening, but related to this blog anyway. Please send me your suggestions! I can’t promise I’ll add every link you suggest, but I appreciate your help in identifying blogs and other sites related to this one. The Internet is a big place…
Hi Pat and Steph,
Thanks for linking to me – it’s very much appreciated and I’m glad you think Veg Plotting is worthwhile enough to link to, even though our content on the whole is quite different 🙂
I’m planning a piece on the garlic you gave me at the FoGroBloMe at some point. Purely out of selfishness, so I can link to your mine of good information and get back to it easily!
I like the way you’ve explained your links on your page too. It’s given me food for thought.
Hi VP,
Really I hate blogrolls and deciding who to link to. There are lots of great blogs out there, including yours. I don’t necessarily have the time to keep up with them all!
Since now I have the links on a separate page, I have more space. I plan to add even more links when I have time. Searching the Internet and adding links is really a time consuming process.
Thanks again for coming to Oxford, and thanks for putting me in your blogroll.
Hi Patrick – I know what you mean. I already read far too many blogs than is healthy for me, but worry I don’t do them justice. I suspect, even with an infinite amount of time there would still be useful blogs out there left undiscovered!
And then there’s the whole etiquette side of things re reciprocal links etc. That’s why I like your explanation of your approach to links. Everyone knows exactly where they are with you. It’s another example of the care and thought you’ve taken in putting your blog together.
