Yes, it’s time for another edition of Link Love. If you’re wondering if there’s a method in this madness, keep wondering. When you come up with an answer, tell me. I’d like to know too. Before that though, check out these links. The theme for today, blogging.

I know I’m inviting flames from religious fanatics here, but I’ll say it again: God blogs!

In another series of link love, I mentioned Script ADDicts - a bunch of students who are shooting “an ongoing story that starts and ends and twists and turns the way you want it to.” I also mentioned that “all the authors involved [in the last series of links] are tied together somehow.” If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m telling you now - they’re all involved with the University of Asia and the Pacific somehow, either as students, employees, or alumni.
Anyway, what does all this have to do with this next bunch of links? Well, this batch is also exclusive to UA&P students. To be specific, this goes out to Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) seniors. You see, some of them are taking up a class called Interactive Marketing. From what I understand, one of their projects is to build a blog. Think of an SEO contest run within the context of a class syllabus. They’ve got to encourage traffic to their sites - and I’m trying to help them out.
You might say that with my readership, I’m probably not going to be able to send more than a handfuls of visitors their way. I don’t really care. Some of these blogs made me laugh, and who knows - they might make you laugh too. Then again, I think I laughed more because I knew the personalities mentioned. I’m not saying that you’ll only appreciate these links if you’re from UA&P - it’s just some of them really are meant for UA&P students. Still, I suggest you at least visit all of the sites I’ve mentioned below.
Having said all that, I think I’ve got (more than) enough of an introduction for these next few links. Enjoy!

I’ve discovered a few things recently, and I’ve got a few people to thank for that. I’ve also been thinking a lot - asking questions, wondering, and basically letting my mind roam. I don’t know who or what to thank for that, but I’ve got this site to thank for letting me air those thoughts. So, what’s on my mind?

I’m looking for a feed reader that’ll display posts LiveJournal style. If you’re familiar with LJ, I’m talking about the friends page where all posts made by your friends are listed like they were all in one multi-user blog.
I’ve checked out Bloglines and NewsGator, but they sort everything by feed, and then by date. I’ve tried using Thunderbird to aggregate my feeds, but the load time frustrates me. I’ve thought of using some WordPress plugins to put all the feeds I read on one page, but that raises some other problems. For one thing, I don’t want that page to be indexed by search engines, lest I be accused of plagiarizing others to increase traffic to my own site.
So, does anybody have a suggestion? If you do, can you show me an example of that piece of software in action? I’ve got so many blogs to read, but I don’t want to load up a tab or window for every single page. Help me, please!

In other feed related news, The Feedtext Blog featured one of my photos recently in an article about the Blog Parteeh! Yes, bloggers really brought the house down. We brought the elevator down too (then back up then back down), but that’s another story.

While we’re still on the topic of feeding, I want somebody to help me gain weight. Heck, I want everybody to help me gain weight. I wrote about this before, and now I want to bring it up again - I’ve got a proposition for those who are trying to lose weight. I think we can help each other out.

On the way out after the blogparteeh07, a dozen or so attendees got into an elevator and went down to the ground floor. When they got there, the doors refused to open.
Pushing the buttons on the panel did nothing - as the air in the elevator car grew heavier, its occupants could only stare at their reflections on the unopened doors.
They pushed the emergency button, hoping for some help. Nobody replied. Nobody came to help them. Pretty soon, they started complaining about the lack of oxygen. After that, claustrophobia set in. More buttons were pressed.
After what seemed like hours, the doors finally opened. In unison, everybody took in a deep breath.
Who knew an elevator ride with a dozen or so bloggers could be so exciting?

Since the new year is coming up, I’m sure many of you are itching to take pictures of fireworks. If you’ve read Jayvee’s post on the World Pyro Olympics, you might be excited to shoot there too. Mind you, getting a good shot isn’t easy, but it isn’t impossible either.
