  • Question:
    Can someone explain to me the purpose of a blogring? When I ask it of
    Xanga, I get blogrings titled “What’s a blogring?”  What happens
    when you join one? Do you get all the posts of all the people in the
    ring? Why would you want to join one? Just to meet other
    bloggers? 

    I am sick, for those who are interested.  I slept 14 hours
    yesterday and 14 hours the night before. But, today, I feel better for
    the most part.  We’ll see how my healing progresses. I haven’t
    even wanted to read!  Hopefully, I’ll be all healed for the big
    New Year’s Eve party at our house.

    Also, Rachel had her follow-up in Hershey yesterday. It seems the
    surgery was mostly-successful, so on February 2, she’ll have “the cat
    mask” again.  (She calls the surgery which uses anesthesia to
    knock her out “the cat mask” because the anesthesia mask is a “cat
    mask” to her.)  The doctor feels that after this round
    of outpatient surgery, 100% of her reflux will be gone. 

    We just watched the Clean Flicks version of Monty Python’s Holy Grail.
    If you are ever feeling low, just invite Michael to sit on the couch
    with you and watch this movie. He laughed hysterically through almost
    all of it.  The introductory credits almost had him in tears of
    uncontrolled laughter. 

    I’m off to procure a shrubbery.

  • I think the purpose of a blogring is just to sit on your blog so people can look at which blogs you join and learn a little something extra about you. They don’t actually do anything. Maybe they’re supposed to do something, but they don’t.

  • Blogrings are the primary means to meet new bloggers who share similar interests.  Or at least that’s how I view them.

  • Yeah, I’ve joined a few blogrings, but nothing has come of them.  I haven’t looked at the people in them either, so I’m at fault too for not getting to know anyone in them.  I don’t know if I care to though.  Xanga is just a way for me to keep up with people I already know.
