The First Hitchhiker's Guide To The Blogosphere For 2008

Photograph by Kilroy_60

About a year-a-year and a half ago I created A Hitchhiker's Guide To The Blogosphere. Of all the projects I've worked on here it has been the most satisfying.

What I like about the Hitchhiker's Guide is that it provides an opportunity to make a difference. If nothing more than to make blogging more enjoyable for someone, at least for a moment when they see their work has gained some sense of recognition.

For anyone who is new, let me explain. There are no strings attached to be included, no conditions, no application process. The one connecting factor is the blogs I choose have what I think are interesting names. Beyond that, they appeal to me in such a way that I wish to drive traffic their way.

If I get a link exchange or three along the way that's all well and good. A friendship has to start somewhere, eh. What better potential is there to carry through from one year to the next?

With that, I give you the latest and greatest, Hitchhiker's Guide To The Blogosphere...

---(-)-> The Etch-A-Sketchist
---(-)-> AverageBro.com
---(-)-> Reality Is Over Rated
---(-)-> Slacker Manager
---(-)-> A Breath Of Fresh Road
---(-)-> Waiter Rant

Other blogs that have interesting names...

---(-)-> I Feel Like I'm Diagonally Parked In A Parallel Universe
---(-)-> The Frugal Chariot
---(-)-> Jonathan Spencer's Tales of Ordinary Wisdom
---(-)-> Confessions Of A Confused Mind...
---(-)->

Updated 5:40 PM, 12 January, 2008
...I never said this would be easy, or fast.

Catch A Ride With The Hitchhiker's Guide... Edition 9


It's easy to find blogs with interesting names. And satisfying to bring attention to interesting blogs, be they new or well established. That is, interesting to me, for whatever reason, in both cases.

The key to gaining a spot in A Hitchhiker's Guide To The Blogosphere is being able to capture my attention and hold my interest. These blogs achieved just that...

---(-)-> Insanity Briefs
---(-)-> A Yank In OZ
---(-)-> Single In Arizona
---(-)-> Stranger In An Even Stranger Land
---(-)-> Realigned Life
---(-)-> Down The Rabbit Hole
---(-)-> Semiresponsive
---(-)-> Realm Of The Lone Grey Squirrel
---(-)->

And these blogs have interesting names, but didn't make the cut for a link...

---(-)-> Moon Echoes
---(-)-> The Bare Necessities
---(-)-> An Ordinary Person And Politics In America
---(-)-> Through My Lens
---(-)-> Law & Disorder
---(-)-> Land Of Confusion
---(-)-> Perceptual Thoughts
---(-)-> The Dark Side Of The Moon
---(-)-> My Morning Candy
---(-)-> Sign On The Dotted Line, Please
---(-)-> Overhyped And Underblogged
---(-)-> Flight Of The Catfish
---(-)-> Stray Voltage
---(-)-> Rollercoaster's Bunker
---(-)-> Queen Of Her Own Universe
---(-)-> Sprightliness Modality
---(-)-> Adultism: A Well Kept Secret
---(-)-> Coffee Shop Blogger
---(-)->

It may have to be Friday or Saturday before I can do any more work on this. It will likely be a week or two before this edition wraps up.

They Captured My Attention AND Held My Interest

Tomorrow is the Friends of Kilroy blog carnival. To mark this special event in the Gonzo Blog Carnival Series I'm publishing a new edition of my Hitchhiker's Guide To The Blogosphere.

Publishing this list for a little more than a year I've met some great people. I've found a lot of different things people do in their blogs; some which I've borrowed. It's been my pleasure to help some people get their new blog off the ground. I've been able to help bring additional readers to some excellent blogs that were under appreciated.



Another thing that has come from the Hitchhiker's Guide is links. I don't require a link back for inclusion in this list. I choose what blogs go in the list because I choose them; no strings attached.

I'm releasing this edition at this time because it's links that have come from this endeavor that I expect will make up the majority of those posting in the carnival.

It's my pleasure to present this list of blogs that succeeded in capturing my attention and maintaining my interest. That is what this list is about!

---(-)-> The Old New Englander
---(-)-> A Thousand Words... One Frame At A Time
---(-)-> Simple Writings From A Complicated Person
---(-)-> Dreams Of The Snoring Man
---(-)-> More Than You Know
---(-)-> The Galvin Opinion
---(-)-> The Great Gatsby
---(-)-> From Chaos To Serendipity
---(-)-> Blonde Justice
---(-)-> Lavender Chick
---(-)-> Cape Cod Lighthouse
---(-)-> A View From The Couch
---(-)-> Marooned In England
---(-)-> Alexis In South Africa
---(-)-> Those Northern Skies
---(-)-> Within The Oasis
---(-)-> Save The Drama For Your Lama
---(-)-> Dance As If No One Is Watching
---(-)-> Living In Jerusalem
---(-)-> Immodest Proposals
---(-)-> Dan Heller's Photography Business Blog

Wonder how good I think these blogs are? Check out how many managed to interest me with their names, but didn't go any further.

Takin' Care of Business... And Working Overtime!

The experiment is progressing nicely. I escaped from work for a bit tonight; got around to visit some of my blogging friends.

This blog, like life, has has been anything but stable since it started. If you know me at all, surely that doesn't surprise you. For me it's about living passionately, not getting through.

There have been some real high points and some down time. Which goes to say the life of my blog is as life is meant to be. Ultimately, what it's been more than anything is fun.

One of the things about that blogosphere that I both enjoy and find challenging is comments.

When I get around to visit the blogs I like, what I find is I miss getting around to visit the blogs I like. Somehow I need to find some balance with that.

It's an investment of time for me, as it is for anyone. If I want people to make some effort making their way here I have to get around to write comments. That goes for anyone who wishes to be engaged.

Speaking of balance, I wrote 20 comments tonight. That raises the number given to 52. I haven't checked my email for any new comments; when the last update was done I'd received 15.

It will be interesting to see how the Friends of Kilroy Carnival comes off as June rolls into July.

If you have any questions don't hesitate asking. Between Hey Lady and myself I'm sure we can come up with a reasonable answer; I think it was a good decision hosting the carnival at Queen of Pentacle's Blog.

I must say, I was quite pleased with the sites included in the newest Hitchhiker's Guide To The Blogosphere. I'd like to say it surprises me how many I had to go through to pick what I wanted to include. Truthfully, though, it wasn't a surprise. Easier to attract attention with a name than hold interest with content.

Cheers!

A Hitchhiker's Guide To The Blogosphere - The Latest And Greatest


It seems like an awfully long time since I've done one of my A Hitchhiker's Guide To The Blogosphere posts.

This is one of the things I've really enjoyed over the past year or so. I've met some great bloggers, helped get some new blogs rolling and developed some quality associations.

I'm starting this on April 30th. I'll have to work on this a little each day; in a week or two it will be done. It will be the latest and greatest edition...you'll have some great new blogs to check out.

As I have in the past I will be recommending blogs I like for one reason or another. They get linked. And, as in the past, they are all considered equal; I don't "rank". There will also be blogs that have names interesting enough to be listed, but not linked.

I'm working on setting up the next Gonzo Blog Carnival(s) as well. Not sure whether that will be one, another double feature or in the latest and greatest spirit a trifecta! If you are interested in hosting, or know someone who can pick up the ball and run with it, write a comment on this post. Or send an email; there's a link in my profile.

It's definitely worth catching a ride with...

Look East For That Is Where The New Day Begins

Photograph by Kilroy_60
Installment 3 of A Hitchhiker's Guide To The Blogosphere

Visiting Blogs based on choosing names that appear interesting is akin to playing the rhoulette wheel in Vegas. For my money, these ones were winners...

I've been hitching more rides of late, as you can likely tell from the list this time around. It's interesting visiting blogs, looking at comments and going to see who wrote them. The result is the same in that whatever you may think at the outset of the journey the outcome is an adventure in the waiting. Cheers!

And these ones, I think, had interesting names worth noting...

Invariably when I go to blogger.com I see an interesting name roll by of a blog that had just been updated. Being a curious sort I don't judge a book by its cover nor a blog by it's name. So, I've been going to check them out. While they won't be appearing in the next "A Hitchhiker's Guide To The Blogosphere" posting, here are some interesting names I've run across recently...

  • It's Snowing In My Heart
  • Sleeping_Through_Reality
  • Alternative Brain
  • When Opportunity Called, It Had The Wrong Number
  • High Society
  • Spiritual Woman
  • Life-Long Dream
  • An Occassional Glimpse Into My Life
  • Metro Goddess
  • My Joy of Life
  • Escapist Entryway
  • Living My Dreams
  • The Distance In Your Eyes
  • Random Ponderings
  • Two World Views
  • Dreams Come True
  • Midnight In A Perfect World
  • White Noise Insanity
  • Raw Curls
  • Draftscript Of My Life
  • Out Of Me
  • A Personal Account Of Lies And Whatnot
  • Midnight Glories
  • Lost In A Cloud
  • Mind Noise
  • Blogitty Blog Blog
  • Live Out Loud
  • Walk By Faith
  • Walking On Fire
  • Rememberance Of Words Past
  • OK, So What's The Speed Of Dark?

It's gotten to the point when I open a blog and see certain backgrounds, I know most lkely I am not going to pursue reading. Why is it that so many people who choose a black background use font colors that you can barely see on the page? It never fails the type size is such that it can barely be read either.
