I've been at this blogging thing for a little under two years now. Less than many, more than some. And in that time, I have never seen our friend the blogosphere as filled with hate as it is right now. Most of it is politically motivated but not all. No, we're getting hate from all over. It's very disheartening.

But all is not lost!

There's a little something that we used to do around here that spread feelings of friendship rather than feelings of foe-ship (hey, I just made up a word). I say we run it up the proverbial flagpole and see if anyone salutes. It's called:

Blog It Forward Day!!

For those of you new to this, it's really simple. All you need to do is pick someone (or sometwo or somethree) off of your blogroll and post on your site just why you feel that they are linkworthy. Why the heck did you link them? Why are they given that place of prominence over there on your sidebar? Are they funny? Are they wise? Are they just too damn good looking to pass by? Let us know about them.

You know it will just make their day to see their name in the spotlight, right? Remember, we're spreading friendly feelings with this exercise. Plus, as far as I'm concerned, you can never have too much love out here in blogland.

Oh, and be sure to track back to this post so that we can all follow who's getting linked.

Whaddya say? You guys up for it?
