There's really no rules to blogrolls. Add who you like to read. A blog roll is simply a list of blogs you read. Sometimes people will come to your site after you've commented on theirs, and sometimes they'll come after they see in their stats that someone got to them through your site (so they'll be curious who you are). Most bloggers don't care whether you add them to your site, but if you want to be extra cautious you can always email them and ask for permission first. Personally, I don't know that I've ever done that. I read every blog on my blogroll, and so many more. I've been trying to tame the list, but really, I just want to keep adding more. It's a little out of control right now. Of course, the number of blogs I read is also out of control. Can I just be paid to read blogs full time? I just found you through Eddo (postednote.com).

I don't think there is a protocol. I think it's up to an individual blogger whether they want to add someone to their own blogroll and I don't think you need to ask permission. Think of the blogroll as personal advertising space for your favorite blogs. Hope that's helpful. OH, and also, I think having a blogroll helps readers to get to know you even better because then they can see what kind of blogs you find interesting.
