My Lazy Is Getting Worse

Some of you may or may not have noticed that I changed my blog roll to the "real time" version that updates as people I follow post new entries.

I had to have a little (lot) of help from my friends - namely one super sweet 3 Men and A Lady! Seriously, check her out. She's sweet, funny, beautiful, the whole package.

Anypoodle, she helped me locate the correct way to do a "real time" blog roll. My old list contained many blogs that I no longer followed or who no longer had a blog at all.

I knew a regular clean up would be hours of my time. I need those hours to read all the blogs I love! I mean, come on, people! Just because I'm a stay at home mom doesn't mean I have endless "free time". In fact, I have less "free time" than most people.

So, I went to this format so that my faves would pop up as posted. I encourage you to check out anyone on my site. I'm all about quality, ya know? (Well, most of the time. Sometimes, I'm just about the juvenile humor of bodily functions, so read at your own risk! LOL). Let's face it, we can all use a laugh every now and again.

Perhaps someday, if I find the time, I will go back to the original format and actually update current blog faves, since some I like don't post very often, but I hate for them to be left out.

Come by often, check them all out! You won't be sorry! :-)

You're welcome! It took me forever to figure out how to get the updated kind, too. I thought it was a different widget than I already had, then I realized I just had to adjust my settings. I like to think that the updated blogroll encourages people to post often, to keep them in the line up, LOL.

And you don't sit around and eat bon bons and sip wine all day? That's what we SAHM's are supposed to do! ;-)

I like the real time blog roll thingy... (and I think Mrs. D is the whole package too!)

Lauren said...

Thank you for including me in your "Pit Stops". You're the best!

Jay said...

I'm thinking of posting about 10 times a day now so I can stay on top. haha ;-)

I just did a clean up and didn't know about this feature. I'll have to check out :)

I fell off the blog bandwagon, but I'm hoping to get back on soon. FB and twitter updates are easier, though!

Cara Smith said...

It can be a real pain and drain on time just to keep this stuff updated. I would rather read others blogs (including thin one) instead.

I have been so busy between work and school that I have just a little time to read or write blogs so I have to pop in when I can. I have my blog set up that way so I don't have to do a lot of housekeeping. When these two classes are done, I may have the time to get back to some serious blogging but for now, I'll try to post something when I can stand doing everything else and need that break.

SoLow said...

It's motivation for us lazy-posters to post more often. That way we stay on top of your blogroll! :)

Chandra said...

Agreed SoLow...I have been very lazy...actaully just to busy to..maybe this will motivate me to get something posted before everyone forgets about me!

Jeez, don't know how I missed yesterdays post, those are some profoundly disturbing memoirs.

It's sooo much better! I love mine, too now!

Schmoop said...

I looooove your banner. I don't do a blog roll much anymore. I have a link list but I don't keep it updated because I found that no one sadly, checked the links out.

But thank you for putting me on your list. And by the way, not only is your husband evil, he is obviouly lucky. Cheers ETW!!
