I check out blogrolls occasionally, particularly if I'm bored and looking for something to read. I figure a blog that someone I like enjoys is often likely to be something I'd enjoy as well. That said, I'm a big feed reader too, so I don't always see the blogroll. My own blogroll is in dire need of updating as well. As for what you should do with yours? I say do whatever makes you happy and don't stress over it. It's not a major issue. Robin's last blog post..I caved

I like blogrolls; if I find a blog I like, there is a good enough chance I'll find some of the blogs they like interesting that I click on at least a few. If I don't like those, then I'll give up (on that blog) but I've found a lot of blogs I really enjoy by poking through other people's blogrolls. the Wandering Author's last blog post..An Interesting Contest (and A Reminder)

You could always use the rotating blogroll for user interest and farther down have a traditional blogroll. Eitherway, too many sidebar images is distracting for me and I tend to ignore them all. The site http://www.ohmystinkinheck.com/ is an axample of too many images for my liking. BTW, your link in the post is missing the “K”

For me, a blogroll needs to be limited to the very best web friends. Too many links, and visitors may get overwhelmed with choices and forget the whole thing. But then again, some sites are all about community and that’s what the audience wants – just not my audience.

You know, I actually JUST removed my small blogroll from my site. I really was thinking that nobody was even checking it out. I did enjoy getting to send people links, so it wasn't an easy decision to nix it. I'm kind of thinking that I can find a way to incorporate links to people within my posts. Haha I noticed that I didn't make your latest cut (I also love seeing whether I make it on someone else's). HOPEFULLY that doesn't mean that you don't read my stuff every now and again!

I have to say, I do sometimes click on links in others’ blogrolls if I’m enjoying their blog. I can’t say it happens all that often, but it does happen.

My vote: don’t worry about the blogrolls! There’s plenty of other things to worry about

Hmmm. Interesting points. I read by feeds, so I don’t read the blogrolls. Also, I learned that you can help a blogger’s technorati more by linking to a specific post, rather than the blog. So, I decided to write my posts with links to my favorite blogs, as I’m sure those will be noticed more than the blog roll.
But, I do like the rotating blog roll feature!

Sidebars are just too cluttered… so I prefer linking in the content.

Just got back in town… trying to catch up on all the blogs.

If I'm bored or procrastinating from laundry or dishes I will follow blog rolls around to see where I end up. I haven't updated mine in ages though! I feel like such a rude person for not having all my bloggy friends blogs listed on mine. Oh well. Life goes on. And if they want to dump me as their friend it's one less blog to keep up on *just kidding!!!* Jessica's last blog post..Across the Street
