My Blogroll

I have two sets of bloggers that I read: The ones I follow and the ones which I've bookmarked. Which list are you on? What makes me drag you from bookmarked into my follow list?
1. You blog on a regular basis. Doesn't have to be every day, but if you appear to abandon your blog I don't follow you. I never take you off my favorites, though, unless you start offending me.
2. Speaking of which, I am more likely to follow you if I am not met with a content warning while opening your page. Not that there is anything wrong with a content warning, but you will notice that the blogs I follow do not have this. End of comment on this one.
3. You tell me what's going on with you day to day. I appreciate all the informative articles, youtubes, memes, etc. But I also enjoy reading about where you live, what it is like there. how you spend your time. You can be boring as hell, but I'll continue reading.
4. Your blog cannot be solely about politics. I'm all for gay marriage, but I just don't want to hear about it or your favorite candidate every day.
5. Write about the love of your life. I would say that this is #1 on why I choose to follow someone these days. I am a hopeless romantic, and knowing that someone else out there is loving the person they want to love like I am, makes me smile. I don't want to hear graphic details of your sex life (Thank you CC for today's post), but I love to hear about your lives together, how you met, your struggles, etc.


On the other hand, my list of bookmarked blogs is growing weekly. There are some of you on that list that I simply have not felt compelled to share with the world. You are all mine. LOL Sometimes I will share a link of yours, though. Who the heck cares if you are on either list? No one, but I guess I wanted to point out that followers are not the only ones who read our blogs. How do YOU determine who you follow and who you do not? Do you do anything specific to gain more followers? Is it important to you to get more followers? One blog I read http://windinyourvagina.blogspot.com/ has 365 followers. He is probably a professional writer or should be. But he basically just writes about his family, and look at all the followers he has! I couldn't take the pressure.
