I’ve been meaning to sign up for this forever. AORTAL – the anti-portal is a collection of sites that have agreed to at least once a week promote another in the independent web.
I know, I’m a big ol’ link slut already, but this will give me a chance to have a specific topic for Friday and to look for a neat, new site about which to write. For now, I’m going to limit the sites I pick to blogs, but that may change.
Solonor’s Aortal Site of the Week is a n a c r h o n i c:
explain why you started to journal/blog. in the beginning there was blog and with it, blogging. that’s really all you need to know. plus it was cool to suck up free time throwing up words and designs and along the way learning basic html and other necessary computer functions. blogging was supposed to be about writing and creativity and connecting people. but now it’s just about become religion. i believe in the beauty of blogging beyond anything else. there are no bad after effects to blogging. only good. sure it seems like a waste of time, a waste of thought, a waste of the world wide web, a public exposure of your darkest deepest thoughts. but it’s this or television (amazingly i do lots of both, blog and tv. needless to say, i budget my time very expertly). oh yes. i starting blogging for world peace and for the children too. *wave smile* no, seriously.
well if one can’t make it as a blogwhore I think linkwhore is the next best thing 🙂
Link-whoring is an art form. It says so right here. 😉
That said, Aortal is such a neat idea. I actually found kd and surreally because I was their aortal. (and, consequently, everyone else!) I sorta owe all my online friends to that project. 🙂
thanks for the link love and this aortal thing is mad cool, take care.
