Goodbye static blogroll, Hello dynamic directories

What!?!? You're getting rid of your blogroll?

Not so fast, no.

We are getting rid of the static blogroll in order to introduce not one, nor two but three directories of links.

Recommended stories

We will have a reincarnation of my long lost sideblog. If you go to the old culturekitchen home page, you will notice a sidebar with short blog posts. The sidebar is not coming back per se, but I can't wait to go back to pointing to you the good, the bad and the ugly I stumble across during my daily perusing of the net. These new posts will be now all indexed in a "recommended storylinks" page.

Recommeded blogs

We also have the recommended links directory back. Almost a year ago I started writing short reviews of the blogs I enjoy. If you go in a little while (I am still re-indexing the links) to the weblinks directory, you will see the thousands of hits I have sent the way of blogs like Republic of T or Women of Color Blog. It took me almost six months to rebuild the directory, but finally I can resume my blog reviews.

Links Directory

In order to maintain our mission to promote other bloggers and to create a strong networking relationship with our peers, I am happy to announce that culturekitchen will not have a static blogroll anymore. In its place we are creating a directory of links to the different blogospheres we belong, as well as including a list of resources and other important places on the web. And for this part of our networking puzzle, anybody who is a registered member of our site will be able to suggest a link for inclusion in our directory.

Words to live by

"While it may be fairly said that Mr. Lincoln entertained many Christian sentiments, it cannot be said that he was himself a Christian in faith or practice. He was no disciple of Jesus of Nazareth. He did not believe in his divinity and was not a member of his Church.

"He was at first a writing Infidel of the school of Paine and Volney, and afterwards a talking Infidel of the school of Parker and Channing....

"If the Churches had grown cold -- if the Christians had taken a stand aloof -- that instant the Union would have perished. Mr. Lincoln regulated his religious manifestations accordingly. He declared frequently that he would do anything to save the Union, and among the many things he did was the partial concealment of his individual religious opinions. Is this a blot upon his fame? Or shall we all agree that it was a conscientious and patriotic sacrifice?"

— -- The New York World (about 1875), quoted from Franklin Steiner, The Religious Beleifs of Our Presidents, pp. 138-39
