      <title>Blog Whore</title>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In an attempt to save myself from Internet obscurity in the gap between the time Google stops indexing content on my old site and starts indexing any of my content on Icyshard.com, I have decided to whore myself out to blog list sites.  My hope is to get more traffic as well as gain new adoring (though hopefully not stalkerish) fans.</p>

<p>To implement this I have enabled MT to ping both <a href="http://www.weblogs.com" target="_blank">Weblogs.com</a> and <a href="http://www.blo.gs" target="_blank">Blo.gs</a>.  These sites are cool because they both list recently updated blogs.  Blo.gs is especially cool because it has a feature to search for specific blogs regardless of update.</p>

<p>I have also signed up for two independent blog lists.  The first is <a href="http://www.globeofblogs.com" target="_blank">Globe of Blogs</a>.  This site allows you to search by title, topic, age/gender, birthday, name, and location.  How cool is it that you can find bloggers who share your birthday?? :)</p>

<p>The other list I signed up for is <a href="http://www.blogwise.com" target="_blank">BlogWise.com</a>.  This site allows you to search by country or keyword, but also provides a search box so you can search by any term.  It also has a list of recently updated blogs as well as a link to a random blog.</p>

<p>Basically I like how these sites function and are laid out and that is why I signed up with them.  In addition, they all provide different functionality and also allow more people to see my site--not everyone out there searches all of these lists. I will stay with them for now and see how it goes.</p>
