I’ve made a new blog. This is why I haven’t even LOOKED at my emails to see how many post notifications have backed up, and why I haven’t visited anyone’s blog or done a post for today. I’ve been doing the new one.
I decided I need a new collection of blogs. A BIG one. So this new blog (if anyone goes there) is going to be mainly a blog catalogue where you can add your blog to two of the categories (if you’re British you can add it to the British one too, so you get three categories).
What got me thinking about it was the fact that WordPress have fucked about with the Topics and it’s hard to find new blogs now – I used to like browsing through the Topics but I can’t browse through the Reader in the same way, it’s shite to be honest, so I thought, right, if I can’t go to the blogs, I’ll try and get them to come to ME.
I’ll also be doing a Feature Post every now and again, called Dotty’s Choice – a post about a blog I love or like. No bribes (except HUGE MONETARY ONES will be considered). But I won’t be posting there every day, this is my blog, and I won’t be commenting on the lists either when (if) the blog gets going, I don’t want it to be TOO time consuming.
It’s not quite finished yet, I’ve still to make a proper front page and piss around with a few other things, but the categories are done and they’re ready and waiting for people to add their blog links to them.
So who wants to be the first follower?
Oops, it’d help if I did a link!!

/ June 22, 2012I went there. It will take me a while to figure out what to do. And I have to go out of town for a week, even though I will try to stay in touch this time.
Dotty Headbanger
/ June 22, 2012Dear pmao,
But if you wait a week your blog might be far down on the lists. It’s free advertising! Go and follow it and add your blog to two of the lists.
Love Dotty xxx
pouringmyartout
/ June 22, 2012You mean add a blog or a post? I only have one blog.
Dotty Headbanger
/ June 22, 2012Dear pmao,
A link to your blog. Go and have a look at the Humour/Satire category – you can add it to two categories (lists) if you want, so if you wanted to put it in Humour/Satire you could also add it to Art/Photography or Family, whatever you prefer.

Dotty Headbanger
/ June 22, 2012Dear pmao,
Thank you.
If you go back and click Follow, I’ll approve your third one but only because it’s you and you have family in Britain (only the Brits are allowed three, unfair but hey-ho, life’s unfair).

Nope, you didn’t. Or if you did, it didn’t take.

Dotty Headbanger
/ June 23, 2012Dear pmao,
Have you clicked the Follow thing on the black bar at the top? That’s what I always do, then I go to Edit List in the Reader to click to receive emails. Unless WordPress are at it again with the pissing about.

/ June 22, 2012Dear Brick,
I got pissed off with WordPress messing up the way we view Topics and I thought if this one can get going and take on a little life of its own where people come and add their blogs, there’ll probably be a load of good ones popping up.

/ June 22, 2012Dear Dotty,
i so agree, I miss the topics as they were, I don’t care much for the reader either. And I really like your buttons… the thorns or barbs from it, especially. I’ll try to steal your button onto mine as soon as I figure out how to embed stuff like that into my side column.
Now I’m just stumped, where the heck do I fit in? I hate trying to label myself, I just never fit in anywhere. Why isn’t there a category titled “Kreta’s House of Mirrors?”
Love, Alphabet
Dotty Headbanger
/ June 22, 2012Dear Alphabet,
Okay, I need to think about this, you’re the second person who doesn’t fit with the categories. What about Personal Thoughts? Would that fit?

No, it has to be real money, a GREAT BIG WEDGE of real money – I’ll have to do a post about where everyone can send their bribes and when I’ve got enough money to keep me in Cumberland sausages for the rest of my life, I’ll do THE FIRST FEATURE POST.

I believe that WP has a department, named “Let’s fuck everyone up.” They meet once a week, and set up two or three mindfucks for the coming week. Assholes!

/ June 23, 2012Dearest Dotty,
I attempted to do as instructed. I filed my blog under “General.” I attempted to install a button onto my sidebar, but only have a teeny placeholder to click on instead. So, I dedicated an entire page just to this. http://wp.me/P23WOs-dP. Does that work?
With much regard,

You can always pick another at a later time if you want to. Brits get three (as long as one of them is the British category), the rest of the world only get two.
