the cheese stands alone

Not Promiscuous, Just Friendly

It's not that big, is it? C'mon, you can say. I mean, I work on it, I really do. I examine it from every angle. I even trim things up once in a while.
Yet sometimes I get complaints. "Ooooh, it's too much. I can't do all that at one time."
Now, now, hush, there's a dear. Shouldn't I be the one to say when it's too much?
And I don't use those devices, either. Not me, I'm strictly an old-fashioned, hands-on kind of girl. It just works better for me, that way.
Most of the time, everyone goes away happy.

Yes, I have a big blogroll.

It's not as large as some people's. You know the ones I'm talking about. The ones who have that newfangled Blogrolling device, who just wham, bam, thank you ma'am slap every blog they visit onto.
Not me, baby, I'm a include-one-by-one, bit-by-bit, overly-hyphenated kind of Cheese.

I have a sort of in-house system a blog has to pass through to get to my happy place.
First, I discover a new blog, either on someone else's blogroll or from a comment left on The Cheese. So I take a peek. If it looks intriguing, I put in it my bookmarks in a file called Examine Later.
Next, I Examine it Later. Up close. Personal. In depth.
If it pleases, I put it in another bookmarks file called "Not Blogrolled." This means I want to poke around a little more, see what comes of it.
After a bit of poking about, if it continues to be pleasant, I put it on The Cheese's blogroll. Play with it some, move it around to see where it fits best.
Of course, if I find someone has blogrolled me, then I immediately shove that baby right in
to the ReciproCheese list.
You rub me the right way, I'll surely rub you.

So if you have anything good you want to show me, any little warm spot or hot topic, let me know.
Like I said, everyone gets a happy ending if I have anything to say about it.
