OK so I've just got the 'you're not wearing our badge' email, which is starting to sound like the officious stuff that I usually prefer to rip the piss out of rather than be a part of. I put the badge in somewhere, but it evidently doesn't pop up on the home page - and I'm not sure what I can do about this Frankly, I'm not that bothered either.
As I've said before, being a part of your Bloggers' Network hasn't really every pushed my hits up; and I really don't buy the argument about links to blogs 'clogging up your site' - I know the amount of comments that go through your site each day and how links to decent blogs are probably more worthwhle than quite a few of them. I also know that any comments relating to promoting blogs would be a tiny porportion of comments in general.
Don't buy it. Don't get it. Feel free to remove me from your bloggers network because I don't want to wear your badge. I think I can live with that! :)
