A lot of people seem to think that the TT ended along with my post yesterday. Like I said, if you enjoy it, keep doing it! You already have the code, you see the code somewhere, go on and do it! It is fun to do. I really loved doing it, and will probably throw one up now and again when time permits.
As the creator and hostess, I felt a strong responsibility to visit every. single. participant. That, my friends, was the straw that broke this camel’s back. I ran out of time, with my new responsibilities and commitments to Pound2Go and EWebscapes, not to mention my own business, house hunting and family life – I just can’t do it all. I know my limits, and taking it all on is an impossibility in my world.
HOWEVER. I did say yesterday as well that I would pass on the torch to whoever might want it, and two people piped up immediately to take it on (and I’m glad there are two of you!).
Lindsey @ Suspension of DisbeliefNicole @ The Girl Next Door |
Both Nicole and Lindsey are bright, intelligent young ladies who understand why I created the Thursday Thirteen and will continue to nourish it in the spirit that it was created. They will be the source for the code, the place to go for blogroll additions, and the hot spots for any TT related news.
They are in the process of adding the code and information to their blogs and will be making it available shortly – and they will be visiting Thursday Thirteeners to say Hello and give you the scoop once they’re settled in!
So please, do me a favor – announce on your own blog that the TT isn’t dead at all, in fact you guys are rocking Technorati – as of yesterday the TT was listed as a HOT TAG on the VERY FRONT PAGE!
Then stop over & say hi to Nicole & Lindsey!
Thank you again, your comments made me all mushy yesterday, I’m proud to have started something that has touched so many people and brought so many people together. As Martha would say “It’s a good thing.” (Not that I like Martha or anything, but – it’s is a good thing.)

yesterday was my very first T13 so I am glad that it is not dying! Thanks for passing the torch… great concept considering the winter olympics are coming soon!
I’m doing a weekly Olympic post: http://killired.blogspot.com/2006/01/torino-tuesday.html
Thanks for inventing the T13 and good luck with your endeavors!
:jester:
I know what you mean! I haven’t been “playing” nearly as long as you have, and I used to be able to hit everyone and still have some time to, oh, have a life on Thursday! Hugs to you, I’m sure everyone would understand if you didn’t get to everyone, goodness gracious there’s a lot of folks out there!
Will you still participate?
Hooray! So glad its staying! Don’t worry Leanne, I think we all understand the obligations you felt. We are just grateful to have the TT thanks to you!
YAY! LINDSEY ROCKS!
Here’s my effort. Enjoy.:winking:
Cool!!:yahoo:
Thanks so much Leanne for starting something that so many people feel so strongly about! We’re really excited to be able to take this on, and we hope you’ll still be around some ;)! I’ve got the code and the blogroll and everything on my site, and I’ve got the images uploaded on my server, so if you ever want to take them down, it’s all good! Thanks so much!!!!!
Oh yay! I was just getting started! Thanks for everything Leanne ;0) Best of luck with your other endeavors too! Happy weekend!:rofl:
Hooray!
I was a bit confused.
Again thank you for all of this.
:angel:
Technorati front page?! Gosh, Leanne, you must be really proud of yourself. At least you should be! Thanks again for doing this. I loved your farewell yesterday, though, it rocked!
Thank you for clarifying it all! I’ve met so many great people through this.
:cheerful:
i’ll still be playing when i’m able to. i think it’s a wonderful concept, i can’t imagine trying to visit every single person.
Thanks so much for getting this started. Like Lindsey said, we are really excited to be able to do this. I have gotten everything switched to my new domain now and I also have the images and code ready to go! I can’t wait till Thursday!! :yahoo:
[…] Read the very first Thursday Thirteen here!I also thought it would be beneficial to link to everyone who participated – but it wasn’t long before linking to everyone became a full time job! It spread like wildfire, and it brought more bloggers together than I ever thought possible! Fun Fact: The Crusty Crone was the first one to join in on the Thursday Thirteen fun!In September of 2005, MommaK of Petroville joined me as a Thursday Thirteen Hostess. Together, MommaK and I promoted the Thursday 13, spent our Thursdays visiting and linking up all of the participants. It was a blast!In January, however, we both drove off a cliff. Figuratively speaking, of course! We were overwhelmed trying to get around to visit everyone, and needed to turn the hostessing reigns over. I passed the hostess torch over to Nicole and Lindsey, who offered to host the code and do their best to get around to all of the Thirteeners.Meanwhile, I had purchased ThursdayThirteen.com and had plans to develop and create a place for everything Thursday Thirteen related. Now here it is, and here it goes! […]
Thursday Thirteen is such a mind blasting idea!
