Thanks. I haven't blogrolled you yet (just found you), but probably will. The information you’ve been providing about library blogs is very good. Thanks.

He's been a regular contributor to LISNews for a long time now [a good way to get people knowing who you are if you can't bring them to your own blog] and then started a blog with one fairly specific focus so that he would become the "go to" guy for that: IM in reference and wired stuff in libraries generally. Librarian.net, as much as I love it, suffers sometimes from a lack of focus which sometimes I wonder about. It has a lot of fairthful readers from back in 99 when it was one of the only librarian blogs in town. You're on the right track though [of course]: reading other bloggers, cross-linking, being involved in the library blogosphere. Basically it's like publuic speaking, finding your unique voice is so much more useful than just parroting the peanut gallery... The other secret is that, speaking only for myself at least, we're alll geeks too. well, one of the great things about the blog world is that we’re all so stuck on ourselves, we see who talks about us as well It’s interesting that you mention Aaron’s blog Walking Paper because it’s a relatively new entry in to the librarian blog scene.
