Biggest Blog Influx Ever

Many new blogs have collected during the past couple of months and I figured it was about time I got them added. A lot of these are actual requests to be added, not just ones that I found in my travels around the web. I just wanted to say thank you all for being patient with me in getting you on the list.

With that, I'm going to shut up. There are over 60 new blogs added today (yes 60!), which means you all have a tonne of visiting to do. I will say that these new additions bring our total list to over 325 blogs, which is amazing. Simply amazing.

To all the newbies listed below, welcome aboard!

Most New Blogs Ever!

Not since the initial stages of this Blogroll 5 years ago, have I added so many blogs in one update. It was rather exciting for me to come to the realization today that I had collected so many. Most of these newbies are coming from my recent hardcore dive into Twitter, and it wasn't until I started adding them that I discovered I had come across such a large number. It truly is a lovely thing to realize.

With that, I think you all have some visiting to do! Tell them the NL BlogRoll sent ya. :)

See, that's a lot of new blogs!

A Dozen Newbies

My recent nosedive into other social networking sites such as Twitter and the fairly new highly addictive Empire Avenue have weilded strong results so far when it comes to finding new blogs to list. Due to the lack of time available to search for blogs in the past, the adding of newbies mostly have come via direct request to do so. This time however, I didn't wait, didn't have to in fact. As I played around the mentioned sites, these blogs popped out at me and considering I've now collected 12 in the past few days, I figured it was time to list them... so list them I did. Be sure to go visit now ya here!

Now, I gotta get back to work on the NL Blogger's Choice Awards. Enjoy the new blogs!

NL BlogRoll is Twit-dicted

I'm slightly behind the curve on this one perhaps but, as of late things have gone all Twitter-pated around these parts. Though having an account on the (highly addictive) social network for quite some time, it's only as of late that I've really used it... and obsessively used it I have. The good thing is that in that obsessive use, I have found a wealth of new blogs to share. Better yet, I see the opportunity for many more to be revealed as I continue to play around and as anyone who has been following this blog knows,  I love finding new bloggers to add to our community!

This new Twitter addiction is quite exciting for me at the moment as it provides a new opportunity to further develop our online community of social media enthusiasts. I've already gone ahead and added a couple of feed gadgets to the sidebar here in effort to help promote the many Newfoundland and Labradorian users I've managed to find already: One feed is a list of people from our province and the 2nd is one for random provincial tweets from businesses, news organizations, entertainment folks and all things in between. If you have a twitter account, feel free to follow the lists and keep in touch!

Oh, and at this point it's important for me to note that my Twitter account is my personal account and the posting there will not be limited to all things related to this great province of ours, nor always about this awesome collection of blogs. Just so you know...

And with that said, it's time for me to stop gabbing and share the newest blogs added to the list. As always, be sure to go say hello!

200 Plus Again!

It's always a happy day when I finally get a chance to add new blogs to the the community and today we have a hearty new group of additions; 9 in total. Each are now listed in the main roll to the left and the related category in the right sidebar.

Better still is the fact that by adding these newcomers we break the 200 total mark which is something we haven't done in years. We currently stand at 208 which is pretty close to breaking a record I think but, I'll have to check the history to see what I can find out for sure on that...

Meanwhile, I should stop blabbering and get to the newbies. You don't care about the numbers, you want the blogs... so here they are!  Be sure to check them all out, read a lot of posts and say hello while you're there. Enjoy!

Newbies and News

Before getting into the listing of new inclusions to the blogroll, I wanted to take a moment to provide an couple updates:

Happy 5th Anniversary:
On January 31st, 2006 I posted the very first entry here and I thought it would be fun to note that this blog and the BlogRoll itself is now 5 years strong. Over the the last half decade we've been through a multitude of ups and downs and redevelopments; a true roller coaster ride for me in fact. When I started this thing way back then, I had no idea the heights it would reach, nor the community that would eventually be built. Through the years I have constantly been reminded of how incredibly wonderful this collection of minds truly is. I'm very proud of this place and the blogs which are featured within and I want to take this time to thank you all for your hard work and dedication to your own spaces within the blogosphere. Without your beautiful minds, this place would have no reason to exist.

Bloggers Choice Award
It's been a while since I last discussed the initative and I want to ensure everyone that it's still being developed. I'm currently in the process of weeding through all the blogs to decide on those which we'll be voting on. As you can imagine, with there now being 199 blogs on the roll, this continues to be a lengthy process. Having said that, my intention was to launch the initiave during the spring or summer months anyway, so things are still on target.

Newbies
My main reason for posting today was to welcome the newest blogs to our community here.  I've added 10 new ones today so be sure to browse you way over to each and say hello!

Listed, Relisted and Delisted

One of the many tasks I've been trying to get to was a clean up the main list to remove any blogs that were seemingly abandoned. It's a normal duty of mine and felt now that I'm in the mix of revamping, it was time to do so again. I should note that I only removed the blogs from the main listing on the left hand side but they will remain in the category listing, just in case.

In doing this task, I decided to add the new requests for additions at the same time. It felt so good to be adding new blogs instead of subtracting them that I decided to go mining for extra additions. The first place I searched was through all the blogs that have previously been removed, just to see if any had reserfaced. As luck would have it, some did...

Anyway, enough of me blabbering on here; go check out some blogs!

Ending 2010

As we jump into the 11th year of this new millennium, I figure I'll post one more update to close out the 10th. The following additions will the be last for 2010 and in adding these few, we will have the final list of blogs to be included in the NL Bloggers Choice award.  Details of such will come in the New Year, but for now please take the time to welcome these newbies to the listings!

Happy New Year everyone.  I wish you all the best in 2011, and by the best I mean all the peace, love and happiness that you can find! 

Next Step: Newbies

Now that I have all the oldbies added to the main roll, it's time to add all those people who have been waiting (some of them) months to be added to our beloved list here.  I do very much apologize for the wait.  I've had a busy / crazy half a year... 

Regardless, the wait is over; behold, the newbies! Be sure to visit every single one of them and say hello for me!

New Blogs But No Blog of the Week

I've decided to postpone the Blog of the Week selection for this week,  mainly because I have a number of posts that I wanted to write that I've yet to have time for.  I figured I'd use this week to do just that and not risk bumping the Blog of the Week selection too far down the page as I do so.

In the meantime, please take the time to check out these 6 new blogs I just added to the roll.  That should keep you busy for a bit...

Nearly a Dozen New Blogs

It's been a while since I've had a chance to add any new blogs to the roll and as you can see below, I've had a lot of requests; 11 new additions in fact!
