A blogroll, usually listed in a bloggers’ side column, is simply the list of blogs they read.
A few items of "blogroll etiquette":
- Especially when you are a beginning blogger, be generous in listing your favorite blogs in your blogroll–this is a good way to be listed on others.
- A blogroll is a very personal place; it’s akin to deciding which pictures you want to put on your fridge! You should never feel pressured to add anyone to your blogroll; likewise, you should never feel guilty about removing someone.
- Because a blogroll is very personal, it’s usually not a good idea to ask to be placed on someone’s blogroll.

Ok… quick question on this. What if you are removed from a prominent spot on someone’s blog roll. Is it rude to ask why? I mean I’ve talked to this person via email and I am a frequent commenter on their blog, yet I have been wiped off their roll… I guess it’s not a big deal, just wondering if it’s kosher to ask why?
My blog does not update on other blogger’s blogrolls. Does anyone know why?
