Rearranging my blogroll

Weirdly, i feel like it would be somehow unethical to rearrange my blogroll (in any way other than simply adding more blogs to it) without posting to let people know about it (even tho i'm sure practically none of the people whose blogs i link to actually read my blog, anyway - Stacey and Elizabeth being the honourable exceptions)... anyway, i've decided to remove a few blogs that haven't been posted to in ages, add a couple of others, and move a couple of others around...

I was going to remove And Stimming With Rainbows Of Every Design, despite its awesome title, because Danechi hadn't posted since July, but she posted to say she was going to start blogging again, so i'm now keeping it. Ditto Larry Arnold aka Laurentius Rex, who has started blogging again (actually, i was probably going to keep him anyway, because i know him IRL, but anyway), and Kassiane aka The Rett Devil.

I think i'm going to keep Bogle's Critical Thoughts, even though he hasn't posted in a while, because there's some really good critical stuff on there that i need to but still haven't got round to responding to.

I am, however, removing DarkDaughta and Mighty Quare Dewd because, even tho both of them are really good writers, both their blogs tend to crash or confuse my computer almost every time i try to look at them, and therefore i don't really actually read them. I might put them back if/when i ever get a better computer that's capable of handling graphics-heavy pages...

Disability Is Beautiful hasdn't been posted on since September, and seems kind of dead. Likewise Fit Of Pique, which hasn't been posted on since April, which in fact is before i started this blog (and i think the reasons might be to do with the author transitioning away from the identity under which ze wrote it)... so, for now at least, i'm removing them...

Eminism is leaving the blogs section of my link list because a) i also have a link there in my "(Trans)gender" section and duplicating the link seems a bit pointless, what with all my link lists getting gradually longer and longer, and b) it's less a blog and more a website, really (especially with the "technical difficulties" on the blog bit). Please do go there, though, as everything there is awesome :)

I've recently added Last Crazy Horn, and i'm adding SexAbility (which i can't remember why i didn't add before, as i've been reading it for ages).

I'm also adding lilwatchergirl's blog, Through Myself And Back Again, because she does read my blog, and we may (all things permitting) be doing the same MA course next year...

All the rest are staying where they are, for now...

I'm also considering whether to get a LiveJournal account, just because i want to comment on nearly every post by both Trinity and chaoticidealism, but can't because only people with LiveJournals can post on them. Trinity has a Blogger account for the equivalent-but-opposite purpose, but i'm not sure if LiveJournal would allow something similar. Dunno...

Proper blog posts coming. I have a couple that i've been working on but got delayed in finishing and posting...

Thanks btw, for adding me. :)

Thanks for the add! And I hope we do end up on the same course - it would be *seriously* interesting to debate with you.

I have a livejournal that I use completely differently from my blog - mostly just to chat to the people who are on my 'friends' list, who tend to be those I know in person. LiveJournal is quite versatile for such a purpose, because of the ability to lock posts.

Andrea - oh wow, thank you (is "thank you" one word or two? i've almost never written it)... my first blogging award! TBH i never thought i'd get one because i thought that the stuff i write about is far too strange and obscure...

Good to know that some more people read my blog anyway - this has definitely given me more impetus for blogging! Part of the reason i've not been feeling like finishing a lot of posts i've started work on is because i thought no one would probably read them... well, now i know people do, so i'm going to have to properly write them... :)

Now i've got to decide who to pass this award on to...
