A few weeks ago I emailed BlogHer to ask for an easy way to locate other BlogHer bloggers, since my scattered brain can't seem to cope with a Chinese-menu-sized list of blogs and whenever I explore I end up choosing sites with cool names that haven't been updated since April because apparently they used up all their creativity on cool names and have nothing left to devote to actual writing and then I get frustrated and disgusted and give up and go back to reading Daisy, Bossy, Cupcake and The Blogess.
Their response was quick and clear: click to the BlogHer advertising page and select from the list of blogs in the column on the left. So I tried it and found some impressive sites and I was all Lalalalala* and then I noticed... The Search Widget.
I didn't want to startle it by making any sudden moves so I tiptoed carefully and quietly around it and then I uploaded it here and gadzooks! not only does it provide short and constantly rotating lists of BlogHer bloggers, but one day last week it even featured mine! That means it works! And it found me! And I'm popular! Or something!
Do you have a pet widget? Why or why not?
*Spellcheck suggested Balalaika, Lallygagged and Phenylalanine as alternatives for this word. Really, Spellcheck? Seriously?

Spellcheck can be so lame that it even suggests other words for spellcheck.

US, that's why I've added a new category: Spell Check. I think eventually I can have a real poetry jam going on here with all the preposterous suggestions I receive from Spell Check.

Hey! Thought I'd pop over here and examine your site since you were so kind to leave a comment on mine! I love your blog - your style of writing cracks me up. Congratulations on your top 10 status - that's so great! And yes, I trust my readers to vote on my jeans because sadly I have 3 readers and they're all my friends, and that now includes you :)
Cheers!
