PromoGuy dot Net: A whole lotta lovin' is what we'll be bringin'

A whole lotta lovin' is what we'll be bringin'

For every stubborn child blog out there (see previous post), I am sure there are 6 enjoyable ones I've missed.

To be honest, there are several blogs I always check in on. And I know they check in on me. We don't leave each other comments much*, but that's because we agree so much it isn't worth it. They've said it already, who needs to see a "me too" comment.

*(if you got a ping from me on one of your post that is unrelated to this, it is because I read your Blog a lot but never comment - consider this my confession)

So, I am going to try to get back into reading blogs, if not visiting more often, then at least using a RSS Reader.

Thing is, I need some new, interesting, HAPPY (!!!) blogs to read. Maybe yours? Maybe one you read that you think others should know about?

Do me a flava, on this very post, leave the RSS/XML feed link (URL) of your blog or that of someone else's that you think qualifies as friendly, uplifting, interesting, link-filled or geeky. If you'd like a new reader (me!) or two (other folks who read this post), now is your chance.

Don't know about the XML? No worries, just leave your site's URL and I can figure it out.

What do I mean about "HAPPY?" Does that mean no gripes or moans? Heck no! Hey we all rant. I am all for that, so don't think it has to be all Butterflies and Unicorns every day. That isn't what I mean (and you know it). But instead of me linking to the Grumpy Pants out there feeding the fire, I'd rather spread the goodness and give us all a break from it.

None of us all read the same Blogs, so this is really a good chance to see some new sites.

I don't promise much in the way of comments, but I will add each of them to my RSS feed channel and read them (as best I can, and if they qualify). Plus, I do often link to posts that I find interesting. In most cases, I make a post rather than leave a comment.

BOTTOM LINE: I just want to be exposed to some new and FRIENDLY blogs for a change! Don't you?

Leave your suggestions here, and at some point I will make them into a link list. Spread the word, let's get a huge list going!

Rah is a great read. :) Not everyone behaves badly. Just some. Think of it as the schoolyard. There will be bullies and their friends and then the really interesting kids that stay out of the way but have a lot to say.

Here are two I have been enjoying recently:

People's Republic of Seabrook: http://intellectualize.org/index.rdf

and a new find ... Somebody Dial 911: http://www.somebodydial911.com/index.xml

Also, just wondering ... I have recently added a feed for my site, but do people like excerpts or would they rather have full posts in the feed? I guess I could have both available (once I learn enough about it to change the templates).

My blog's usually pretty upbeat, especially since a lot of good things have been happening lately. And I try not to have the preschooler mentality, especially since I'm a teacher and I have to put up with that all the time. Lol. Come and see me!

I know you probably read this one Promo, but I figured I would post it. It's my blog, and normally I don't write about the more depressing crap in my life, nor do I go off on tangents all that much, so....

http://www.brianslife.net/index.xml is for posts + comments, and http://www.brianslife.net/postsonly.xml is for...well...ummm....posts only.

You probably already read most of what's on my list, but here's one for ya: Busy Mom.

(And thanks for reading mine, even if you don't comment!)

Here's mine, Http://www.shellybeans.org
I'm pretty upbeat; I think I definitely have a unusual view on life, and people.

I read this and I love it!

Just a warning, I wouldn't read that shellybeans.org blog. It's hogwash. She's known around the web as a compulsive liar.
