THE BLOGROLL

For reasons explained by Venomous Kate, I’ve moved my blogroll off the main page, at least temporarily. The page loads slowly enough, what with all the cat pictures and caption contests and such; I don’t need anything else slowing it down.

About the Author: James Joyner is the publisher of Outside the Beltway and the managing editor of the Atlantic Council. He's a former Army officer, Desert Storm vet, and college professor with a PhD in political science from The University of Alabama. He lives just outside the Beltway in Alexandria, Virginia.

THE BLOGROLL

I’m gradually weeding the blogroll by removing almost all blogs that refuse to ping Weblogs when they’re updated. Since I sort by “most recent,” I virtually never read those blogs that don’t take this rather simple step.

Am I the only one that gets a lot of errors from the weblogs ping? The pings to blogrolling and others never seem to be a problem, but I constantly get errors when pinging weblogs.

It happens sometimes. I don't know if it's a capacity issue or what. But there were some sites on my roll that literally never updated and I just forgot to read. Even major sites like Lileks, den Beste, Oxblog, and some others, don't do it for whatever reason. Unless I force myself to go to the bottom of the list, I usually find out about a good piece on those sites via a link on an updated site.

James,

Please change your blogroll to reflect my new address...http://theworldaroundyou.com. I am pinging, but most people don't have the correct address for my site.

Have mercy on us ping-challenged!

I hereby demand affirmative action for the ping-less!

Personally, I plan to solve this problem a different way:

1) Upgrade to the paid version of Blogrolling (as soon as the wife is looking the other way).

2) Set up a second blogroll for the people who don't ping.

Technology should serve people, not the other way around. I want my technology to make it easy for me to read everybody that I find interesting.
