"Everybody loves the Thinklings, but nobody wants to do the dishes..."

That's a very rough paraphrase of a certain P.J. O'Rourke quote that shows up in our queue from time to time...

Bill and Jared have normally handled housekeeping duties around here, so I decided it was about time I stepped up and did my part...

I don't know about you, but I actually use our blogroll. It's how I read blogs. I just go there from here. (Though this guy's blogroll is my favorite.)

I got frustrated with some of the blogs on our blogroll, checking them to find that the last time they posted anything Mike Huckabee had a shot at the presidency.

If you are a thinkling friend or regular reader, please don’t be insulted if I removed you. My main criterion was whether or not you update. Start updating again and maybe I’ll put you back up. ;-) And for the rest of you on the blogroll, consider this your kick in the pants. You don’t want to lose your coveted spot do you?

That said I’m thinking a shorter blogroll is better…a big long list just makes the quality stuff get lost in my opinion.

So mostly what I did was delete. There is only one addition and one change. Longtime Thinkling friend Lauren, moved from her old blog, called God Loves Lauren, to this new blog called "The Happy Wife". And I added "Biblical Preaching" by Peter Mead. If you preach or teach the Bible on a regular basis, you owe it to your hearers to read this blog.

So what do you think about blogrolls? Do you use them? Or do you think of them as friend lists?
