...at least from the list of blogs being aggregated at Lib Dem Blogs. No doubt owing to a combination of a lack of postings and a few outages that have meant the aggregator barfing and timing out.

So, the big question is whether I bother going back onto it. Whilst my blog has, rightly, never had as high a profile as say Charlotte Gore's and it is therefore less of a "burden" to be associated with being a "Liberal Democrat aligned blogger" I have similar problems to her about being identified as such. LDB has directed traffic to my site, though never as much as I would have hoped, and I suspect that ploughing my own furrow, if I wanted to do so with more attention, might generate just as much.

Having said that, one of the few reasons for remaining a Lib Dem, since I would not join any other party if I were to quit so disaffected am I with the whole notion of electoral politics, is the hope of some of them stumbling across my ramblings and being persuaded that anarchy is liberal, mutualism is the way forward to freedom and economic prosperity for the masses and so on. And in such a case, perhaps being listed on Lib Dem Blogs is a good thing after all.

I suspect if I do rejoin, I should ensure that there's a Feedburner or similar feed that it can use so that it does not suffer from so many outages, but is it all worth it I wonder?

I think it's worth it, never been convinced by the anti LD blogs argument. After all, you don't want to turn out like Irfan.

What Julian said. (Although you strike me as nothing like Irfan). And I think you stand a better chance of persuading LDs of your arguments than any other group...
