What is the Methodist Blogs Weekly Roundup?

ALERT: This post will stay at the top until April 24. Scroll down for updates.

In the past two months, the size of the Methodist blogosphere has expanded massively. We have scores of new bloggers milling about, sharing their thoughts and breaking bread (so to speak) with us.

Those of you who are new to us may wish to participate in the Methodist Blogs Weekly Roundup, a weekly summarization of the Methoblogosphere on Mondays here at Locusts & Honey.

A detailed explanation is here. All posts on a non-personal subject consisting of four paragraphs or more of original text can be included. You can also e-mail me and request that other posts that you have written be included.

New rule: Because the Methoblogosphere is a community, it's important to affiliate with our community. Therefore participating blogs must blogroll at least five members of the Methodist Blogroll. It doesn't matter whose blogs your include, so as long as you have at least five.

i like the idea of linking being a requirement. it's part of the community and we should be open to listing all voices.

define "non-personal" subject.
Most all bloggers blog personal reflections about stuff that interests them. That could be filed "personal stuff."

Or are you talking about bellybutton lint collections?

It's easier to say what it is not: your fun weekend plans, cute puppies, or how much you love your boyfriend.

In general, I mean stuff that could not possibly be of interest to people outside of your family or close circle of friends.

Of course, Methobloggers can always request that specific posts be included.

I've haven't been including your prayers or poems, Theresa. Square pegs in round holes. Would you like me to? I'd be glad to do so, if you want.
