Unless something really notable happens -- or really, anything happens, period -- that's the last I'm going to be saying about the weather. So instead, I'll switch over to some Tuesday blogplugs: Blog entries that you've sent to me, or labeled with the tag blogplugs, because you want other people to see an entry (yours, or someone else's):
* Over in the UK, MrVinceCharming shows us his blog (recently featured by AOL UK), THE ADVENTURES OF THE WEST HOVE TERRORS! - The Celebrity Dogs of Hove!
* DPoem of The Wisdom of a Distracted Mind blogplugs the latest edition of Dornbrau's Blog Crawl, which features a theme of "Love Story": Take a story, photo, poem, or whatever else you come up with that fits in with the theme, put it in a blog entry and leave a comment with a link in her entry (submissions are due tonight)
* Ron wants you to know he picked up a blog of the day award.
* Ceilisundancer talks a little bit about what she does and doesn't write about.
If you want to get your stuff out there, consider adding the blogplugs tag to your entries; that way, even if I don't get around to writing an entry like this for your blogplugged entry, other people will still be able to find it, just by clicking on the tag link or doing a search on the blogplugs tag:
Now, I notice that there aren't very many people doing the blogplugs thing. I'm curious as to why; is it because:
- You don't know how to tag your entries
- You don't see the benefit in tagging your entries (either with the blogplugs tag, or tags in general)
- You're simply not interested in getting your entries in front of other people
- Something else
Thanks -- Joe

Because...I don't think my entries will interest enough people; I am writing for myself and only a small community of regular visitors only.

Valerie -- thanks, that's a perfectly valid sentiment (though, for example, I enjoy reading well-written entries, even if I don't care for the subject matter). I just want to make sure there aren't any barriers to people who want to participate. Thanks -- Joe
I forget to leave the blogplugs. Plain and simple. Sometimes I do it and then other times I just don't. Depends on if I want that particular entry out there.

I'm actually thinking about doing a blogplug sort of thing either tomorrow or early Friday (the one-year anniversary of my journal). I'll drop you an email once I post it. I think you'll like it, and it should be fun.

Hey Joe....
I am still doing it. No problem here of me doing it.
For a while it looked like I was the only doing it. LoL
Sometimes I think my entries just aren't interesting enough. I don't know if that is really true, but it is just what I think. Perhaps I will start blogplugging. I think it is a fantastic idea for people to do. I love to see people's work out there to be read, and I like what you choose.
