BT05 – Lookin’ round the Blogathon

Checking out some of the other Blogathon sites out there (via the Blogathon Ring control in the sidebar), a few that catch my eye:

1. On My Own, I’ll Dream My Life Away: At the top of the list at the moment, a very yummy-sounding recipe for Creamy Garlic Soup. Yum. I may have to go back here later. (Blogging for the National Kidney Foundation)
2. Scifi Ranter Girl: Doing a count-down of the twentyfour most influential shows in SF. Excluding Star Trek. Definitely need to check back in here. (Blogging for the Planetary Society)

3. Craft Services: Rey and his pals discuss music. (Blogging for FINCA International, which looks pretty keen)

4. Three Moms and a Single Lady: Talking about sex. One of the moms is my monitor, so she gets a link too. (Blogging for the MISS Foundation)

Oh, and, Blogathon guys? Some folks have been less than diligent in putting the Blogathon Ring banner/code on their page (either at the top or at all). Makes browsing this stuff a bit more difficult. Is anyone checking this stuff out?

It seems to me that the most interesting blogs, at least for the purposes of the Blogathon, are the ones with a theme. It’s hard to just random-associate and natter on about onesself for 24 hours (heck, it seems challenging for some people for just a few hours). Too late for some folks by now, but I’d file it away as general advice for the future.

Of course, it also seems to me that the most interesting blogs have a relatively attractive page design. I’ll let you humor me that I’m one of them.

The Blogathon Hotspot page has some interesting-looking blogs, too. Including Yours Truly. Access to it seems to be a bit screwed up — I had to [OK] a password request for “webmail” twenty times to get in — but I’ll be going back here later.
