The Liebster Awards are doing the rounds again... it is that
time it would seem. How do people seem to know when it is time for them?
Seriously is there some bloggers calendar that one small slave is completely
unaware of out there? One marked up with special dates that we bloggers need to
remember... 'cos if so one would love a link.
Firstly one would like to thank ancilla_ksst for the
nomination. It is appreciated... you can all just feel a big, fat but coming
can't you... 'cos there is one. See this award means that you are supposed to
share 11 random things about yourself, answer the 11 questions that your
nominator has asked and recommend 11 other blogs. Now, one has no trouble with
the first part... any reader here can attest to one's capacity to twitter along
like a canary in a cage. The second part isn't the issue either. No the real
issue is the nomination part.
See the blog roll to the right are most of the people one
follows and as you can see many of them are inert due to life changes. Even
some of the big, older ones are suffering from this malaise. The list of blogs
one follows is suffering from the same problem... with an added complication in
that now when someone closes their blog to the public, or shuts it down you are
stuck on their followers list with no way of getting off it.
Since the last Blogger upgrade you can't just get off a list
from your end... you have to go to theirs. It means there is no way to update
the list to reflect who you are following any more. People are following links
to things that don't exist. And yes it
is one of those little housekeeping issues that is driving one quietly insane...
if you hadn't guessed that by now J
Anyway getting back to the Leibster Award and the poor
little blog roll...
One of the great things about the Leibster Award is that it
generates some traffic for those little corners of the blogosphere that might
otherwise be overlooked and with that in mind one is going to do this a little
differently than was intended.
What one would like you the reader to do is nominate one of your
favourite BDSM blogs, in the comments section, so that one small slave and the
other readers can go and have a look and see what is out there in the hopes of
finding some new blogs to follow.
Also if you have any questions that you've always wanted to
ask... no matter how silly... this is your chance to ask them J

I already nominated my favorites, so I'll jump straight to the question.
How did you and your Master meet? How was the courtship conducted? How long before you were his?
Ok that is three questions, sorry.
I like ancilla's question's. You can take those you follow off the blog list, but managing who you follow is difficult.
To remove from the blog list go to the layout and edit that box, then in the list, hit remove.
To unfollow people - I can't find that one now - I cleared a bunch off in August and it worked then. I will poke around.
Yes, that is a housekeeping issue that drives me insane as well.
Ha! I found it. In the blogger dashboard across from the words Reading List, it says "View in Google Reader". Next to it there is a gear icon. Click on that icon. That will bring up all your blogs. Pick one that you want to unfollow and click on settings. It will then either:
A. Go to a screen that says Settings for (blog name) and have a link that says "Stop Following Site". Click that link to unfollow.
or
B. Look like it is asking you to sign in again to some kind of google friend connect or what have you. Click on sign in using your google account and reenter your blogger password. Then you will be back at the list of bloggers, you will hit settings again and then it will go to A. above.
And you can unfollow one at a time. Painfully.
But if you want to unfollow me, just let me know and after I am done crying uncontrollably, I will be happy to take you off. :)
Our beginning was long and sordid... are you sure that is what you want to hear?
Thank you for that Kitty... honestly one had been all over the net trying to find the answer to that question. And no one had no intention of dumping your little blog... it is a very enjoyable read :D
I want to hear it - and in all that giving directions I forgot to tell you that I LOL'd at the calendar - yes, who has that calendar.
And why 11? Why not 200? Or more reasonably, 3?
I hope it worked for you.

I have questions! I know I do...Now if I could just think of one...
I nominate a favourite:
http://herlittlegirl.blogspot.se/
Not extremely active, but still alive and fun to read.
I think 3-5 is a much more reasonable number too - the first one I got was like, 15, and at the time I didn't even READ 15 blogs...wtf?
Anyway, I was going to post the instructions for unfollowing... but Kitty beat me to it, and I like ancilla's questions too.
I like http://creatingsomethingbetter.blogspot.com/
Though she updates not so frequently.
And I like Lily.

I always enjoy a good sordid tale. The more sordid the better. That's why I'm still in all those kooky Fet groups.
