I’m bored with my blogroll. No, not the blogs on my blogroll, but the actual look of it hanging out there on my sidebar. It’s getting huge because there are so many great reads, and how can anyone decide what to click on without knowing what the blogs are about? I’m thinking of moving the whole blogroll to its own page. Since there will be so much more room over there, I’d like to include a description of each blog. However, I don’t want to get all long-winded and junk. So, I’ve decided that the description of each blog should be exactly six words. For instance:
Girl from Jersey explores Hudson Valley
-or-
Likes books enjoys cheese LOVES comments
The problem is that it took me about all day to come up with those two, and I’m not even completely 100% jazzed about them. There is no way I can come up with 6 words to describe all 300 blogs I read. So that’s where you come in. Can you please describe your blog to me in six words? If you are not already on my blogroll, please play along and I’ll add you. The only reason you’re not there is either because I don’t know about you or I’m lazy or both.
If you think you have a really great description for someone else’s blog, let me know about that one, I’ll give you credit, and I may even post more than one description if they’re really good. (On the other side of that coin, I might also reject edit descriptions if they’re mean, not 6 words, or otherwise wrong.) For instance, here’s one that I thought of for someone else:
Humorous zombie fighter posts videos
Can you guess who that is? So the deal is that I’m leaving you the weekend to think of some good 6 word blog descriptions for your blog, and then after that, I’ll move this post to the new page, and leave it up for a week or so while we all come up with our best work. I hope to have the new blogroll finished by next weekend, but no promises… Good luck!
And since I got so happy from sending out my prizes this week, let me go ahead and add a contest. If anyone can come up with a better description for The Daily Tannenbaum and I decide to use it, I’ll declare you the winner, and you can get a prize of equal or lesser value than the ones that were sent to the NaChriCoMo winners.
(oh, and if you don’t feel like leaving your response in a comment for everyone to see, please email it to me at dailytannenbaum @ gmail . com)
UPDATE: The new page is up, so please click on the tab above and leave your suggestions in the comments there!
