The best of the lazy blogroll patrol

So the charming and talented, but lately fairly quiet Bliatz had a wonderful administrative post the other day (yes, I said "wonderful administrative" and I might say it again.)

Link suggestions?

I've been pruning my link list a little, adding sites that I want to explore a bit more thoroughly. I've also removed a few links to sites that seem to have died out. (Please let me know if I shouldn't have).

...

Therefore, if you think there are links missing here (taking the subject mater of the blog into consideration), please let me know. I'm mostly interested in sites dealing with BDSM, and even more so if they include issues concerning the power exchanges integral to D/s.

However, feel free to suggest anything, and I'll check it out. No links guaranteed, though, as the link list is mainly for my own pleasure. You can promote your own site shamelessly if you want to, but be prepared for a bit of flaming from me if you do. I rarely miss a chance to be bitchy. Although I am, in fact, a very nice person. Occasionally.

It's such a cool idea. Unlike Bliatz I keep a separate bookmark list on my browser and over time it falls out of sync with my blogroll and so sometimes sites go from cool, or at least interesting, to stalled, dark, hijacked, or commercial and I don't catch it for months.

Still, I've read and thought someone would be interested in every site I've blogrolled. I don't necessarily approve of the sites -- some are interesting because it's good to see other people's perspectives even if you don't agree with them yourself -- but I thought every one of them was worth a look.

If you're like me then after a while when you're visiting a familiar blog your eyes just skip over it rather than check to see if the author has added anyone new. And the cool thing is that her invitation created renewed interest in her blogroll. (That's how some of you recently found your way here.)

So like Bliatz I'd like to invite you to take a tour of my blogroll and let me know if anyone really strikes your fancy or, instead, if it seems like nobody's home. It'll help me out (lazy bum that I am), you might find someone who's words are just what you wanted to see, and it might also bring new eyes to a bunch of deserving bloggers old and new.

One thing: Don't feel like browsing them all? That's ok, there are a lot of them. Instead read all the people who's names begin with one letter of the alphabet -- maybe the first consonant or vowel in, um, your middle name, or your mother's maiden name, or some other random.

Note: If I can finally get the rest of family packed back off to school and caught up with my work (things are winding down after a very busy summer) I may take the alphabet test myself and write mini-reviews of the sites in my blogroll explaining why I picked them. No promises though. Remember, I'm trying to be lazy.

[Oh yeah, and check out Bliatz who in the past has written *very* compelling stuff about the trials, tribulations, not to mention the exhaltations of the d/s relationship she shares with her partner Kai. She said earlier this summer that she was winding down. But then again she just asked for fresh blogroll recommendations so who knows? --fl]
