Help maintain the site and gain some extra traffic...

So, this site has been fully operational for about 2 months now. We just hit 700 linked blogs and everything is going well. However, with so many blogs, it's hard for me to find if any of them are breaking the rules. This is where I need your help, but of course, I'll give you a little motivation, read on...

Blogs that are in violation of the rules meet any of the following criteria:
(1) Have not been updated in over a month (unless there's a post explaining not to expect new posts for some period of time due to vacation, illness, etc.)
(2) Pornographic or otherwise offensive material
(3) Do not host a link back to "Bestest Blog"
(4) Sites that no longer exist, or attempt to forward previously existing webpages to new URLs

So, part of removing a site from my directory involves removing them from the "Random Blog" rotation. The "Random Blog" rotation is basically a (very) long numbered list of URLs. The computer randomly generates a number, and the button sends you to that blog corresponding to that number.

So, say a blog I need to remove is #123 (the specific numbers don't matter). If I remove this blog, I need to place a new URL at #123 in case the computer randomly picks that number. That's where your motivation comes in...

If you find a blog that is in violation, when I remove its URL from the "Random Blog" rotation, I will replace it with yours!

Now, I'm not saying to go out of your way to find these blogs. I'm just asking that as you go about your regular surfing, whether it be by the "Random Blog" button or by the category directories, if you find a bad blog, come back here and leave a comment so I can take care of it (be sure to leave the bad blog's URL, as well as your URL so I know what to replace it with).

If you are not sure if a blog is in violation, but think it might be, post it here anyway and I'll double-check it myself.

Thanks for reading and thanks for your help! If you have any questions, as always, feel free to ask.

Manifest e-blog does not link to me and you said they did. They look like a spammer so I would guess they are in violation or whatever. Also www.little-ogre.blogspot.com, which links to you and is not my blog, I would like to nominate it for bestest blog of the day because it rocks mocassins. I recommend you check it out(I repeat, it is not my blog or anyone I know's blog, I just think it is really good. www.a-dumb-blog.blogspot.com is my only blog.)

Hit Things&Kongs with the Random Blog... its last update was July 12, unless I'm mistakened.

http://thingsandkongs.blogspot.com/

My blog is http://laevanesce.blogspot.com/. It hasn't been added yet (I e-mailed you on the 3, I think, so you still haven't got to it, which is fine: no rush).

This blog says "Page not found" when I clicked on the Random Blog button. I think it's one of those that got deleted when the owner gets bored.

Oh...mine's - http://touchwolf.blogspot.com
Does this mean I have to link you twice? LOL

Yes, I know this is my 4th comment in here; does that make me a bloghunter? I dunno, I just keep them under tabs if they haven't been updated for a while. Anyhow, http://energymonkey.blogspot.com/ hasn't been updated since the 26th of June. This site was updated frequently before that, so you might want to leave it alone for awhile before removing it, but it's your call. My blog is http://laevanesce.blogspot.com, once again, for convenience.

Been on a bit of a hiatus, but I had to break that to write this post.  This may be the bestest blog, but I think I just found the bestest gift ideas site .  Ok, imagine this.  You need to get a gift for your aunt from Cleveland.  You know she likes the Cleveland Browns and quilting, but that's about it. So what do you do?  You panic and you buy her whatever Yankee candle strikes your fancy in the store that day.  But what you should do is go to GiftedIdea.com .  You tell them about your aunt from Cleveland and they'll come up with a whole bunch of relevant gift ideas.  Who is "they"?  Well, they have a team of gift experts  called the Idea Team.  They crowdsource the ideas for you.  Pretty cool, right?  It's certainly a fun idea and I wish them all the success they can find.
