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

    \n
  1. On My Own, I’ll Dream My Life Away<\/a>: At the top of the list at the moment, a very yummy-sounding recipe for Creamy Garlic Soup<\/a>. Yum. I may have to go back here later. (Blogging for the National Kidney Foundation<\/a>)\n
  2. Scifi Ranter Girl<\/a>: 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<\/a>)<\/p>\n
  3. Craft Services<\/a>: Rey and his pals discuss music. (Blogging for FINCA International<\/a>, which looks pretty keen)<\/p>\n
  4. Three Moms and a Single Lady<\/a>: Talking about sex. One of the moms is my monitor, so she gets a link<\/a> too. (Blogging for the MISS Foundation<\/a>)<\/ol>\n

    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?<\/em><\/p>\n

    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.<\/p>\n

    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.<\/p>\n

    The Blogathon Hotspot<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n
