Good evening, history lovers!
Dealing with history means I often have to come into contact with dust and cobwebs, as these things have an alarming tendency to build up around really old things. Take my mother, for example. (I'm joking, mum!)
I recently started cleaning up my study, which has become overrun with dust and cobwebs. It took me several hours, but eventually I had my nice, new study back in full, shiny order.
But I did not stop there. After that, I turned my attention to Lord Likely's blog, which has itself become rather cluttered and messy over the past four months. So, I got out my virtual vacuum cleaner, and my digital duster, and got to work tidying up.
Hopefully, you should notice my efforts. I ditched some graphics, pruned away some buttons to various sites that didn't seem to be doing much for his lordship, retitled some of the sections, added a new section for Likely's other writings for other publications (such as his recent piece for the fuelmyblog) and reorganized the links.
Now, that last bit is important to bear in mind. I have grouped the links into three distinct categories - The Likely Empire, Close Personal Friends and Passing Acquaintances. Basically, the blogs and sites in the first group are blogs that either I, or one of my cohorts, are involved in. The second group is for those people who have either linked to the journals, or who regularly visit and comment, or people who I owe a favour. Finally, 'Acquaintances' is for all those who may have visited, joined his lordship's community on MyBlogLog or Blog Catalog, but who have yet to link to us or comment.
If I have misplaced anyone, let me know and I will correct any errors. Likewise, if you wish to be on Lord Likely's link list, drop me a comment or get in touch in some other form.
Finally, I also added an advert for a book written by fellow blogger, television writer and all-round good egg, Mr. Biffo. Confessions of a Chatroom Freak is available to buy now from all good bookshops, and REALLY good bakeries. Tell them Professor Julian Syngen-Smythe sent you!
Whew! All this tidying has worn me out. I am off for a lie down on my newly dust-free sofa.
Cheerio!

A good dusting down never hurt anyone, Julian. Thank you for mentioning my own little trifle of a blog, where I aim to add my distinctive voice to the world of acute political commentary.
I am delighted to learn of your new ventures, since it fair warms the heart to know you are now emerging from academic obscurity to gain your rightful place in the roll of history. Watch out, that bloke who presents all those programmes on The History Channel, that's what I say!
