Blogroll Changes

Just a quick maintenance note- I've made a few changes to the blogroll.

First off, Dan Barnes' blog All Four Cheeks has been removed, as it's rarely updated (the last Oilers news was 2 sentences on June 17th). I generally use this blogroll as my reading list, and it's just a pain to go somewhere and never find updates.

I've also added two new links to the References section. Five Hole Fanatics is one of the best Flames blogs around, and the only reason it didn't get added before was because of its evil ungodly vile subject matter. Still, it's good for an Oilers fan to keep tabs on the Flames and other Northwest Division opponents, so they're aboard.

The second link is to the blog page of The Hockey News. It's a fairly good group of writers (including recent addition Guy Flaming) and gives a good read on a large number of issues around the NHL.

If there are any Oilers (or NW Division, or general) blogs out there that would like to be linked to, just drop a comment off below. My only criteria are that it's updated reasonably often, and that it's something I'd read.

Okay, I'll throw my hat into the ring. As you can probably tell by the archives, I've had some trouble in the past finding some consistency in both update time and writing style, but I think I've found something that works for me (especially now that I've quit World of Warcraft), so let's give it a go.

(Also, I'm learning what MYFO found last summer: it's fucking hard to try to launch/relaunch a hockey blog in July.)

Thanks for the add and the kudos.

I understand your reticence to fraternize with the enemy...although I myself had to abandon that bias long ago due to the breadth and depth of the "Oilogosphere".

Happy to have the link- I didn't even know you had a site.

Not at all- your site and Battle of Alberta are the first two places I go to get a read on Flames moves.

It's technically Ender's site, but I've been doing most of the sports writing so far. I'm paranoid about site-pimping, partially because it tends to piss people off unsolicited, and partially because I wanted to make sure I'd have something. So, I decided to wait until someone asked. Thanks for the link. =)

It isn't much fun doing a bunch of work/writing and not having a lot of readers- for anyone reading this, if your site has information relevant to the discussion at hand, please link to what you've written.

I've done my share of blog-pimping, and I like to view the Oilogosphere as a collaborative group; I don't understand people who feel differently.
