Quick Survey

I am looking over my blog and trying to streamline it a bit, especially the sidebars. So my question for anyone who visits me is this: Do you like/use the "Encouraging Blogs" or "Family and Friend's Blogs"? I am considering moving them to my Google Reader, unless they are regularly used by others who spend time here. I have so many I'm afraid its a little "clutter-y" looking. But I do love seeing the latest updates... so, what do you think? Should I keep them on here, or get rid of 'em? Do you use them at all? Leave me a comment with your thoughts! Thanks!

Well, (cough, cough), I like it because I get traffic to my blog from your blog. So, there is a VERY biased opinion for ya! :)

first off, let me just tell you that judah is SO adorable!
second, at the expense of sounding a bit like a stalker, yours is the first blog i check. i love your posts and so many of the other blogs i read are linked on your side bar. plus, it saves me so much time since you have the update thingy. ultimately it's your blog and i'm happy for you to utilize it in a way that meets your needs, but i do use your links quite often. :)

i do occasionally visit your "encouraging blogs" links. never get to the friends and family blogs because they are a little further down the page than i normally go.

I think you should do what you want to do with it. I don't think a blog can be too cluttered, really. Also, how do you "move" them to your google page? Just curious for my purposes.

I find both categories quite helpful. And it's encouraging to see that you have mine up there also. Even if you remove the friends and family blogs, the encouraging blogs have really . . . encouraged me.

I check out the encouraging blogs when I have time. In fact, I have discovered a few blogs I enjoy reading from your sidebar! :)

Thank you all for the responses! I am glad that they have been of use to most people... I will keep them, then!

Stacey, I don't think its stalker-ish ;-) I'm blessed to know you enjoy my blog and the links help you, as well!

Marcy, I don't really know a quick way of moving them, I have just open two tabs, one with my blog links and one with Google Reader, and then copy the blog links into my Google Subscriptions. Its a bit tedious, I'd bet there's a more efficient way... I just don't know it!

Thanks again to everyone for their input!

I'm late to the party but I love having the other blog links here so I can browse blogs that may be of interest to me as well since we have similar interests.
