Some major bloggers (most prominently Atrios/Eschaton and Kos) have recently instituted a blogroll purge, eliminating, for the most part, all but the usual suspects. And to add insult to injury, they referred to it in Orwellian fashion as “Blogroll Amnesty Day.”
Now Kos never saw fit to link me, but I was on Eschaton’s blogroll for years until this wholesale purge, discussed here by skippy, here by Jon Swift, and again by skippy here, cause you can never have too much skippy.
Blogroll scrooges should be penalized, don’t you think?
Blogroll Scrooges Must Be Punished (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Mr. Eschaton’s wholesale de-linkage
Hurts small bloggers through blogroll link shrinkage.
Kos has done the same thing.
Both are scrooges left-wing.
I’ve de-linked them and won’t give them inkage.

If you’re reading this post, you know my Mad Kane’s Notables Blog has a new name, look, and most important, a new address.
Why the change? Because, believe it or not, my Notables is hand-coded, which is a major pain! So despite my technophobia, I decided to attempt a WordPress installation and give it a whirl. And much to my shock, the thing worked.
My next challenge is to get people to change their bookmarks and update their blogroll links and RSS feed links.
So would you do that for me, please? I’d really appreciate it.
What’s that? You’re too busy? Would it help if I beg? What about if I write you this limerick:
Blog Relocation Limerick
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Coding by hand is quite hard.
It takes time from my being a bard.
So I now blog with WordPress,
New name, look, and address.
Please link, so my traffic ain’t marred.
UPDATE: My old Notables archives will remain available through a link on the top of my Sidebar in the “Pages” section.
