Three Sticks — Personal Development for Christians

This Sunday, February 3, 2008 is the anniversary date of 2 important events — the Blogroll Amnesty Day and the liberal blogrolling policy here at Three Sticks.

Last year around this time I stumbled across an article by Jon Swift about how some of the more popular bloggers had choose to remake their blogrolls to include smaller, lesser known blogs. Unfortunately that wasn’t what happened. Many of these bloggers used Blogroll Amnesty Day as an opportunity to remove smaller, lesser known blogs parring their blogrolls down to the most popular blogs. This has the effect of creating an elite club of the most popular blogs recursively endorsing each other and reducing the chance of a smaller, lesser known blog from joining their elite ranks. We all know that traffic is often driven from referrals from other bloggers and that traffic is the life blood of a blog. It is traffic that transforms a blog from a personal labor of love into a meaningful place for community outreach.

In response to last years Blogroll Amnesty Day, I started a new blogrolling policy. The policy still stands. Simply send me an email and link to Three Sticks and I will add you to the Three Sticks blogroll.

This year Jon Swift and Skippy the bush kangaroo would like for everyone to remember Blogroll Amnesty Day and to adopt a new liberal blogrolling policy.

Here are a few sites that I know have a similar blogrolling policy:

1. Mock, Paper, Scissors
2. Classical Values
3. Latino Politico
4. The Barefoot Bum
5. Three Wise Men
6. NewsHog - Must be a small news site
7. The Galloping Beaver

If you would like for your site to be added to this list drop me a message or add a comment in the following format:
