Periodic Table of Blogs

The Periodic Table of Blogs is part of The Humbug Journal blog, and a brainchild of a mysterious baseball fan and poet known as Score Bard.



His poems are known to grace the threads, that run through the baseball blog and discussion forum, known as Baseball Primer.



Naturally, the primary reason for the Periodic Table of Blogs was to emphasise baseball related blogs. Along with blogs devoted to America's National Pastime, are politcal blogs, science and technology blogs, cultural blogs, and et cetera blogs.



Included in the Periodic Table of Blogs are some of the leading blogs in the blogosphere.



We are all familiar with most of them, and link to many of them.



Buried deep in the lowest level of the Periodic Table of Blogs is Blog Business World, marked with the chemical symbol "Bi".



Also included in the listings are some of our favourite business blogs.



I was pleasantly surprised to be included in such auspicious company.



More importantly, being part of a truly unique and interesting concept as the Periodic Table of Blogs, is exciting. The concept that Score Bard created underlines the various creative ways, that blogs can be used, beyond the ordinary.



We tend to think of blogs as consisting only of daily postings.



We usually think of blogrolls as little more than a listing of blogs.



The Periodic Table of Blogs knocks those ideas right out of the park.



By applying some creativity to blogs, and adding elements of traditional websites as Score Bard does, new blogging concepts will arise.



Score Bard, and all other bloggers, should rename their links page something else.

Google has begun to penalize sites that use the term "links" in an attempt to cut down on undesirable linking practices.



Many honest sites and blogs are getting caught in the crossfire. To prevent becoming a casualty, simply use different terminology for all links lists and pages.



Think outside of the box and look for ways to make your blog fresh and exciting.
