ysabetwordsmith has started a meme!  And it’s kind of a neat one, too:

 

1) Pick a friend who writes a great LiveJournal and would welcome more traffic on their blog.

 

2) Write a post on your blog that links to their blog and describes what makes it worth visiting.

 

3) Encourage your audience to go check it out.

 

4) Audience members who do the meme are also encouraged to copy their own Pimp-A-Friend message as a reply to the original post.

 

5) This makes a good periodical activity for a networking blog or a community.

  

It’s a good idea! I’m going to periodically start pimping out entertaining, interesting, cool people whose blogs I’ve been enjoying, and maybe explain why I like them.

 

So! First up, then, would be kjpepper, the queen of bullet lists. Her journal is day-to-day stuff—life, the universe, and everything—and she has a great knack for observational comedy, irony, and the all-important snark. She even manages to make her bad news insightful. You get to follow her adventures with health, relationships, books, Nerf-enhanced TV, and of course underwear, as well as periodic videos of swearing newscasters.  Go! You know you like the bullets!

 

Now to figure out who I’m going to recommend next.  Damn, there are so many good ones.  How do I choose?

Check out haikujaguar for speculative fiction, artwork, parenting tales, fencing, and other fun stuff. Her blog is highly interactive, too -- you can sponsor stories and other projects. Often reader comments inspire later stories, and the most commented sketches are most likely to get painted.

well, I'd steal this and recommend your blog, but very few people read mine as it is and most of them are smart enough to have friended you already.

Ah, but you can do it anyway with other people, too! It's just fun to point friends to other friends!

You are in my queue. The hardest part of this meme is that I've got this bottleneck of people who are worthy of recommendation. I have to pick which to do that day from my list of recommendables by closing my eyes and pointing!

aw, thank you! I try to be entertaining, funny, interesting, or educational. Preferably at least two of those per post.
