Blogroll

I’ve been working on the concept and format for quite a while, but today I am finally unveiling the new NewMexiKen Links Page — “A Page of Links to Some of the Web Sites and Blogs Referred to by NewMexiKen.”

This new page (reached in the future by the button in the sidebar under the random Sweetie photo) is very much going to remain a work in progress, as I am always finding new web sites I like and deciding that others are no longer interesting or useful. This is especially true of blogs. As the lists lengthen or shorten, and the categories come and go, I will have to move things about some I’m sure, but I’ll try and respect your kinetic memory.

I read nearly all of the blogs listed via RSS. I find that’s the only reasonable way to see what’s new at dozens of continually updating sites. I find RSS less useful for newspaper and magazine sites, though most publish much of their content that way. I guess I still like browsing a busy, complex site much in the way one browses through the pages of the dead-tree versions of these publications. Futhermore, these large publications (The Huffington Post and Slate are two web-only publications to which this also applies) publish far too many items to sort through via RSS. Better to glance quickly at a page and see if anything stands out.

As always, your comments and suggestions are welcome.
