Boy. Oh boy.

Yesterday, yesterday was a huge day for the Thursday Thirteen! How exciting is that!? So exciting, I’ve altered the code. So please, don’t forget to get the new code next week, kay?

My original plan was that people would participate, using the code, and go around visiting everyone elses, and by the end of the day everyone would have the same link list at the end. One big happy circle of bloggers, growing every week and getting to know everyone else. That’s not happening, and perhaps my expectations were too high?! NAH!

:no: :no: :no: !!

The new code has something special! If you use it, fairies will fly over to your blog and sprinkle statistic jumping dust ALLLL over it! Know why? Scroll down and look at my last thirteen. At the very bottom, there’s text that reads “tag: thursday thirteen”. That’s just a sample, the new code says “View More Thursday Thirteen Participants”. I put this in as a Technorati Tag, so now if people :ahem: get lazy (:no:) and don’t leave links or update their link lists, all you’ll have to do is click on the Tag on the bottom of one of the other blogs who did it right (:yes:)!

You’ll be taken to Technorati, who will have allllll of the participants all nice and tidy like (as long as the code is used correctly, or at least the correct tag is included). Then you can be as reclusive as you’d like, we’re COMING TO VISIT YOU ANYWAY!

:slaphappy:

And also, I think I’m going to make a fun little graphic for our regulars. You guys rock. I love your Thirteens, please keep participating!

Any comments/questions/suggestions on how this whole thing works are welcome, that’s why the Little Monkeys Jump!
