New to blogging

Hey everybody! I just started my very first blog the other day. I opened it with a riveting review of Coke's new low carb C2 cola! For those who haven't tried it yet, it is a must read.

How does linking work on a blog? Are you supposed to link to blogs you like? Or are you supposed to link into whatever genre you're in? are there rules to this stuff? Is there blog etiquette?

    I link to blogs that I like and that I read regularly. I made a "favorite reads" sort of page on my blog. Go to deeblackthorne.blogasm.net/blog.htm, and click on the Links page on the right. You'll see it there.

    www.namaii.com/readme/ is probably the best reference to "blog etiquette." As far as the linking thing goes, personally, I only like people who I enjoy reading. I'm sure I've ran across a blog I liked and put it up on my page, only to find no reciprocal link from that person. And I'm sure that person likes people out there who don't know they exist. (Think of "big bloggers," y'know, sites that get a ridiculous amount of traffic; there's no way to tell.)

    But if you want to be reciprocal, I suggest www.technorati.com. If you put in your blog's URL, you can see pages that have you linked.
