I have changed my mind about the use of my blog roll. This is because I have now decided not to comment on other peoples blogs.
The reason:
I feel that I no longer have the time to read other peoples blogs. I am so busy with other things, it's just a simple fact that I no longer have the time available. I currently work every day at a computer, and in the evenings I'm usually out doing various activities. At the weekends, I like to be outdoors as much as possible, getting lots of fresh air and taking photos. Any remaining time imbetween any of this, I want to spend writing my short stories.
So what I have now done is this:
I have emptied copied the entire contents of the "Blogs" section of my IE Favourites, and put them all in my Blog Roll. So now my blog roll contains every blog I have ever enjoyed reading at any point in the past.
