I'll keep this update brief to save the scrolling.
Work proceeds here at rebuilding the Keep, but I have decided to follow the loyalty route. I have been pimping sites for 2+ years that never gave a link back to the Keep. So for those who have I thank you for your support in the community and am putting you back first in the event that Blogger has changed the widget situation. We now resume our regularly scheduled headache...

Is it "Old-School"? I really don't know--and I really don't care anymore. It's fun, and that's all that really matters. - Benjamin David (A Rod of Lordly Might)

I just "followed" your site and I'll start including it on my blogroll. Is that what you mean by "giving a link back to the Keep?" Or is there another step?
ReplyDeleteIf you wouldn't mind pimping my site I'd appreciate it. Underworldcleaningservice.blogspot.com.
Thanks!
Yes, the blogroll. See how easy that was ;)
ReplyDeleteSweet. Loyalty is a good policy.
ReplyDeleteThe blogroll wasn't ever a widget I included when I originally chose the design elements for my blog a few months back. That has now been corrected.
ReplyDelete@-New Big Dragon-Welcome on board...and I see I have some catching up to do on reading at your blog as well. :)
ReplyDeleteI tend to reciprocate everyone who links me (and many who don't, too), though I do it as a reading list in the sidebar "Wisdom from the Sages" so unless there's a fresh post blogs tend to get pushed down...
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see NEW BIG DRAGON post, I get an inexplicable yen for Chinese food...
ReplyDelete@ Kristian - And see, that's fine. Then it's on the blogger to post and get pushed back up again. I tend to only post updates here but I happen to be the kind of person when I read a blog and like what I see I open the rest of their blog list if there is one. You never know when you might find something new :)
ReplyDelete@ Theodric - stop talking about food man...damn it ...now I need Chinese take out...for breakfast... :)
@Theodoric - when my phone # used to appear in the white pages, I used to get phone calls asking if I delivered. No joke. There's a restaurant here in Dallas called New Big Wong. 4-1-1 would give my number on accident.
ReplyDelete@ ADD Grognard - we don't offer delivery. Pickup only.
You are in Dallas, too!? I've eaten at New Big Wong!!!
ReplyDeleteYep. In Dallas. I have eaten at New Big Wong, but not since '92 or '93, and just once or twice. I suppose the phone calls were karma getting me back for being inspired by their name.
ReplyDeleteHeh-heh. Good Chinese is hard to find in the Metroplex.
ReplyDeleteI've linked Eternal Keep on my blog, in a more explicit fashion than I had already.
ReplyDelete@ kiltedyaksman- I can't seem to locate your blog in your profile. Wordpress perhaps? Drop me the link here so I can add it and thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the hard work you do Grognard and for keeping true to your principles. Am honored to be a part of the keep!
ReplyDelete@ Spootalker - Seems I missed one there...had to add Op-For :)
ReplyDeleteSorry...Spooktalker...I know better than to type on only half a cup of coffee :)
