It'd be nice if there was a magic internet genie who let you know whenever someone new links to you. Unfortunately, I just have Statcounter, which only records the last 100 page views if you use the free version. I know I've seen a couple of blogs that I didn't recognize show up as incoming links, but by the time it occurred to me to write them down, they've scrolled off the list. In other words, if I haven't linked back to you, it's nothing personal. I'm just really, really fucking lazy.
At the same time, I've noticed that I need to do some blogroll cleaning, since a few of the blogs I link to are no longer publishing and should probably be removed.
So if you have a blog and link to me, or if you have a blog and would like to trade links, let me know, so I can add you to the blogroll. Not that it'll be any huge source of traffic, but I always felt that if you're a casual blogger and someone links to you, the polite thing to do is to return the favor. I once saw a blog post where the writer started off by begging for links, but then in the next paragraph, explained that he couldn't do likewise because didn't believe in having a blogroll himself, as he thought it cluttered up his site. Which was, of course, a dick move. If you have Blogger or Wordpress in your URL, you shouldn't take yourself so seriously.
Anyway, you can send me your blog address at dcublog@gmail.com or through Twitter. Or I guess if I already link to you, but you've recently decided you hate me and would like me to take you off my blogroll, you could let me know that, too. Or if you don't even have a blog, you can also just send me nude photos of yourself. Unless you're really, really hot or really, really hideous, I promise I won't publish them. But since, statistically speaking, you're probably just average, there wouldn't be much of a point. No one goes on the internet to see average-looking people naked. That'd just be weird.

I don't really keep a blogroll anymore, but I do post occasional links to your blog -- I've got one in draft about Arkham Asylum (which I just beat last weekend, referencing your post on it from last year). Anyway, up to you if you choose to blogroll me or not. I think it'd be nifty. I can't wait for the sequel.
Keep Capitol J! It's the coolest!
