I have 3 ping lists, the biggest by far is the Military ping list I use when posting Military Mondays. It used to be a regular thread but now is only posted at special occasions like Veterans day, Memorial days like that.
Second is the Daily Bread list usually posted daily in Amy’s thread to start everyone’s day off right.
Third is a Western New York ping list.
Thanks for your good work on this list, I know it is not an easy job to do and hardest of all to maintain.
My number one goal before I would even attempt such a thing, was to create a ping list compilation that can be easily maintained. I think my spreadsheet methodology does that, and much more.
I am perfectly willing to keep the list so long as I live as I’ve been a Freeper for ten years and not likely to quit any time soon. I don’t care about hits to my Blog, despite would the Blog haters would have you believe, there’s no huge return for pimping your Blog on Freerepublic, or anywhere else. You Blog cause you love to Blog....but maybe you hadda be there.
One thing I didn’t add in my earlier missive was, for now, the fact that I am unable to put two contact links/attribution for a single ping list. This requires adding a column to my spreadsheet and to do that would push it off the screen.
In the future I intend to move the whole thing to a separate Blog because my Blog has sidebars and all kinda stuff, as Blogs tend to get over time. I don’t want to change my Blog to suit the ping list but I am willing to create a Blog without all the frou-frou that will take additional columns. Or maybe, after time and with proof of success, it could somehow be incorporated into Freerepublic...but that’s far off. I just think it’s needed is all, and if I can make it happen without making a career of it, so I shall.
The attribution is but a way for an interested party to contact a ping list owner. You can claim your own glory/duplicate glory on your ping list proper. This list is to give a way for someone to contact a Freeper about joining the ping list so bear with me.
This will work, I am sure of it.
Which brings me to one point on your post Mr. Mayor,...is your Daily Bread list a ping list I should include with YOU as the contact...because I can’t do BOTH you and Amy as contacts for the Daily Bread. If I put you as contact, an interested party would contact you and then you could direct them to your Daily Bread list, wherever it’s at.
Check out the link, though, because I remember putting up a ping list for a Mayor type of name.
