Cleaning the Clubhouse

Much like MLB teams, there comes a time when one must take stock and clean out the olde Clubhouse. This weekend, I shall be doing the same around here.  Honesty, I don't know if any of my readers ever visit the clubhouse page or not (oh, sure, I bet my Google Analytics could tell me), but I do visit it a couple times a week.

If you have looked through it, you know there are blogs on there that haven't been updated in quite a while - as in a year or more.  For my own sake, mainly, I've come to the decision to clean house.  If your blog is listed, but you haven't updated in, say 3 months or more, I'm afraid you are on the chopping block.

Nothing personal. I find it overly redundant to keep clicking through all the sites to see if anything new has been posted.  Yes, I use Google Reader, FlipBoard, and other means to keep up with regular updaters, but those that have fallen behind will find the red card hanging in their lockers.

If you want to be saved, drop me a line (that is, respond here) with a compelling argument - kick dirt, toss your hat, you know, MLB tantrum stuff.

Cleaning House, Moving Furniture

Well, as you may have noticed, I've move the furniture a bit.  I'm playing with the new "Designer" mode in Blogger to see how I like things.  Excuse the dust, but I'm sure I'll be making several changes before I settle on something I like.  Then again, this may be as good as it gets. You just never know with me.

I have also cleaned up the "Clubhouses" page.  I've made sure that all the links open in a new window, and I've moved sites that haven't posted in a month to a section at the bottom of that page.  If you've been moved, its because you're not keeping your fans up-o-date.  Oh, I know, that's a bit like me saying a certain team sucks while rooting for the Indians the whole time, but at some point you gotta lay it down.  Even the Tribe can win a game or two each month.  For those that lost my meaning, I am saying that I am as guilty of letting a month go by before posting.  I am hoping the standard I have set for my blog roll keeps me posting in a more timely fashion. 

Are you a card-blogger not in the Clubhouse?  Well, leave a comment and I'll check out your site.  Once I see that it is about card blogging (at least to some degree), then I'll happily put you in the game!
