Meryl's Notes Blog

I am beginning to wonder whether or not to bother with the CSS site. Several other sites do a better job of showcasing what can be done with CSS. I should put my energies back into getting the backlog of Gotchas posted in the new design, but those take more time than adding a CSS site.

It’s unbelievable how some submit their sites without understanding the purpose of the site. I’ve gotten many submissions for sites full of tables and and without a dash of CSS. The site is called CSS Tableless Web Sites. Isn’t that a good clue? It’s like submitting an article about cats to a magazine about dogs.

I apologize for griping. Is the site worth it anymore or has it become a place where people hope to get a link so they can grow their link reach? Sure I understand the desire of wanting your Web site linked to on other sites, but not without a reason. I get emails asking to add their sites to my blogroll or they say, “We added your site to our blogroll…” with a hard-to-miss hint they want on mine.

I’ve read and admired many blogs that aren’t in my blogroll. But they’re in my feedreader. If every site I liked joined the ‘roll, the list would be ridiculously long. No politics involved with my list. I include a few buddies who have quality blogs and don’t attempt to add hotshots in hopes they return the favor.

I admit getting linked by an A-lister or a popular Web site puts a smile on my face. I’m just a person who loves sharing content and things I discover in my travels that started before blogging was a word in the dictionary. In fact, on June 1, this blog turns five. I could go on, but I’m rambling without a point in sight and no one likes a whiner.
