Congratulations on getting it out. As a note, the Sugasm DID have a rule that you couldn't vote for your own post. I can't remember where it was stated, but I do remember seeing it at some stage. I have no idea what the 'cliquey' thing is. People either participate or not. Given there is no judgement that excludes those not in the 'in-crowd' (that is, all submissions get posted), it seems an odd statement. Ferns Nice work Lilly. Congratulations on getting it out.

If the list were just here on this site I'd have to find a way to bring in all the bloggers and all their readers to come HERE to look at the list of amazing posts. Instead, you submit and 38 blogs that are not your own have a link to a post of yours. I can tell you that I know I have gotten a large number of loyal readers from Sugasm, good *relevant* traffic increases, and I have also in turn found many great blogs that I didn't know about. There already are "e-mag" type things out there for sex bloggers, I've joined in a few and can tell you quite frankly that they don't end up doing much for me. This type of thing does. I understand that some bloggers don't want to sully up their pages with a long ungainly list. But it's only once ever other week, you can use the "read more" tag after a certain point, and its beneficial to you and many other bloggers. However in the end, not everyone will participate and that is fine. PB - I do so agree with you, nothing is worse than reading a blog, looking away and seeing funky colors for a few minutes, lol Amy - Thank you :)) Sera – well yes, it’s more than a bit late because I already bought the domain! lol

I love Sugasm and I loved the new e-lust. Thank you! 2. I NEVER participated in either, because of the whore-dom factor, the competitiveness, and the clique-y ness. To me, the concept is weird. I don't like that people submit and then have to post a list on their own site, and I hate having to click all over the web to get to read what they wrote. Isn't there a way to gather their submissions in a central place (like an e-mag)? I know it's prolly a bit late for that now, and I'm not sure why I'm suggesting it. It's just that I'd far prefer to read and occasionally participate in a free weekly version of F/G/T than to mess with the listy-thingy. 1. I love Sugasm and I loved the new e-lust. Thank you!

It's clean and easy to read, which is *not*, unfortunately, something that can be said about a lot of "sex blogs". I wish a few people would take a few cues from well-designed sites. Red text on a black background is hard to read, dammit! I agree with you that we shouldn't be voting for ourselves. I never did when submitting my stuff to Sugasm. Thanks again for spearheading this effort! I hope it gets the same kind of attention that Sugasm did. -- PB I quite like the site design and layout so far.

You should be very proud :) It's kind of inevitable that things will get cliquey, there's only a limited amount of sex bloggers, and an even more limited amount that post on a regular basis and want to be involved in something like this. I think you're doing everything right! I really like the site design, nice and clean and pwetty :) The featured HNT is a good idea too :) xxxxx It looks amazing to me! You should be very proud :)
