From a blogger who wishes to remain anonymous:

Jonah-
Why don’t hardcore bloggers consider The Corner a
blog? Well, ya’ll are missing a couple of key
elements that separate you from the rest of the
blogosphere: a blogroll and links within posts to
other blogs.
Beyond occasional links to Glenn Reynolds, The Corner
writers rarely connect with the rest of the
blogosphere. You have no one to blame but yourselves
for this reputation.

Now, it’s true we don’t have a long line of links along the side. But as for not linking to other blogs, that’s just factually not true. Just ask all the people who yell at me for paying attention to Andrew Sullivan, Matt Yglesias, Kevin Drum etc. I see links in just the last few days to all sorts of blogs. Stuttaford links to blogs a lot. But I guess we don’t do it as much as others do. If that’s why the Corner’s not a blog in some bloggers’ minds, okay. But maybe that says more and less than this correspondent thinks.
