Sunny: I don’t envy you doing a blog roll for this place; it’ll be about ten pages long…

Blogpower has a blogroll that tells you when blogs have updated.

Natch.

Liberal Conspiracy will indeed be added as a priority once the CMS is finished (!). The commenter above is right – it is based on the 2007 Guide to Blogging, so there are a number of additions and changes which need to be made.

I appreciate the (mainly!) positive feedback.

I can’t decide what I think of TP site.

It’s certainly colourful and modern. I’m a bit of a sad design geek, so I would have looked for more identity – colour wise.

Also, there are inconsistencies in the design. Either your branding demands softened edges on squares or strong edges. This seems to go for both. And has random coloured boxes at the foot of the template. Why? Less is more.

Okay, I’m being picky. It doesn’t look bad at all – just needed a tad more discipline with the brand identity.

Our blog roll will come in the next re-design… promise!

I think the disappearance of blogrolls is quite sad, really. Community, friends etc.

But increasingly design is becoming important and people want minimalism, and if popular blogs accepted every request they got, they’d have pages of links!

I much prefer things like casting the net really. I don’t want to know who is a good read every now and again if they can be bothered to post, I want to know *today* what is worth reading…or what has been a great article in the last month. Definitely the way forward, and the way to keep the blogosphere fresh.

Speaking of links, where is your blogroll?

Liberal Conspiracy would appear to be the Missing Link, then…

I think it is because it is based on the database from the 2007 Blogging Guide, when you didn’t really exist.

Ask, and you will be added – I’m sure.

btw I have a review on the link on my name.

Talking of Total Politics, it would seem that they’re sponsoring PubAffairs’ (a network for lobbyists) summer party.
