Blogroll etiquette and a shameful glitch *UPDATED*

Okay, so I am such an ignorant newbie! Is there such a think as blogroll etiquette? Meaning, do I just start slapping all the blogs I love on my blogroll, or do I ask permission of each blogger? I don't want to unleash a torrent of crazies on my lovely IF blogger friends, esp. because my loud-mouth political and religious rantings may attract some not-so-friendlies. What to do? Please advise.

Also, I have a blogroll glitch. Mother of all glitches, and something that may be unprecedented (that is how good I am at screwing up easy technology!). My dear friend Lisa, computer expert extraordinaire, has informed me that one cannot simply "remake" an old dormant blog with a brand new blog and expect that Google will "crawl" it and recognize the new entity. Sooooo, it is currently impossible for anyone to put my Little Catholic Bubble on his/her blogroll, as it will come us as "Catholic Moms Matchmaking" and lead you to exactly.... nowhere.

Sigh.

I am trying to get that fixed, but Lisa says that the only way it will happen is to get as many people to click the new blog as possible, until Google is forced to "crawl" the link. To help in that endeavor, Lisa has brutally forced me onto Twitter, which is a concept still foreign to me (and will remain so, God willing). She assures me that all the cool kids do it (did you hear that, Ann? More peer pressure!), and so I am now at her mercy. She is controlling my tweets, not I, and she says I should be grateful because most folks would pay her big money to do the same for them. She is a pretty big shot in the Twitter/blogger/political world, but that story is for another day (she actually owes most of that glory to, ahem, me).

But I digress....

I have a super-cool post on the Church scandal almost completed, but last night I realized it is far too long. So, I will cut it in two, like wise Solomon did with the baby, and I will try not to agonize so much about grammar and clarity and brevity (regretting now that I ever told any of you that I was a writer), and I will try to remember that I only have six readers anyway.

God bless you all as we begin the Easter season!!

*UPDATE: Hooray! I just learned (thank you, Ann) that my unprecedented bloggy blunder has been fixed!! I can be added to blogrolls!! I feel like I just joined the best sorority in town! Yay!
