Eighth Linkfest
It’s time for the Eighth Linkfest. “Eighth” is an interesting word. If you don’t think about it consciously, it’s perfectly normal, but if you pay attention to it, it’s got a really weird spelling, and the more you think about it, the more confusing it gets.
Late this week I went through my Twitter followers and re-followed a large percent of them, and added a lot of blogs from them to my Google Reader; so the active and well-written ones should slowly start to make appearances in these linkfests in time. If you think I should be following your blog but I don’t seem to be doing that (based on a lack of links in these Linkfests), follow me on Twitter and eventually I’ll get around to adding you. Of course, if your blog sucks or is non-worksafe, don’t expect a lot of link love =P
