This post is aimed at my fellow bloggers. So if you are not a blogger, there is a good chance you are not going to get some of this. And therefore it will be a boring read. Just a heads up.
Since mid-September, I have gotten a bunch of requests to add blogs to my Blogroll. I’ve mostly ignored these requests. Not that I was trying to be rude, but that I kind of thought a request was bizarre. I’ve never requested to be added to someone’s Blogroll. And I don’t have a ton of blogs listed, but when I find one I like, I just add it. Plain and simple. Am I not practicing the right etiquette here? Am I supposed to ask permission to add someone? How do you handle it? How do you decide what you Blogroll or not?
This got me thinking. If I was being rude about the Blogroll thing, then I apologize (I am going to get on Amazon.com and hunt down Blog Ettiquette for Dummies). So, let’s do this in the spirit of Halloween. If you want to be added to the Blogroll, send me a pic of you in your Halloween costume! I will then post all the pics I receive in a single post and link them back to your sites. If you are already on my Blogroll, you still need to participate. If not, then you will be represented with a Halloween pic of my choice. 
I think this sounds pretty fair. And don’t be shy with the costumes! Your thoughts?

Is this your way of soliciting pictures of hot women dressed in next-to-nothing? If so, it’s a clever idea!
LOL! Smooth!
Sounds fun, so I’m down. Hahahaha Hope this accepts html

Too funny! I’ve never heard of someone asking you to put them on your blogroll. I guess I’m not big-time like that.
Anyway, about your comment on Carlos O’Kelly’s – we actually only like one thing on their menu (Navajo Taco) – and of course the margaritas! I agree – it’s not real Mexican food!!
I just don’t ask, don’t tell… speaking of blogrolls here.
Yes! I’ve had the same question! What’s the protocol??? If you find out, please let me know…
In the meantime, I will shoot you a Halloween photo, and if your ploy is as Ms. Florida Transplant described above, you’ll be sorely disappointed with the incoming pic – ha!
Great blog and thanks for stopping by mine! Hope to see you again soon…

LOL! No ploy here. I just figured that if those emailing me to be blogrolled are serious, they will participate. And come on, Transplant! Why is it always about scantily clad women with you?
You’re not rude. You just have common sense. Why would you add a link to a blog you haven’t read regularly and decided that you plan to continue visiting?
I see I’m not on your blogroll. Should I be offended? I guess I could send you a pic of me in my costume. http://www.flickr.com/photos/10681433@N00/1794816640/in/set-72157602770566215/
Ok, so that was last year, but Charlie’s Angels was a good costume and this year I got nuthin’.
You should ONLY blogroll the blogs you like / read. Thats what I do. The end. No “link exchange” crap
