Well, fear not angst-filled bloggers, I'm here to offer you a guilt-free, short proclamation for why your presence on the Web has regretfully dwindled to a minute here, a minute there, and why your comment love has dried up like a seven-year marriage.
I present to you the P.O.S. Blogger Alliance.
Let's call it a circle of acceptance - a complete understanding that blogging, on some occasions, must take a backseat to life.
Join me, won't you?
Before you grab one of these nifty buttons to proudly display on your sidebar, please repeat after me (right hand up):
"I solemnly promise to cut my bloggy friends some slack when my sitemeter numbers crater and my comment love runs dry. In turn, I hope that my followers/loyal readers will forgive me for putting my life before blogging, if only for the next couple of months. I swear I will be back full time come September, refreshed and rejuvenated, ready to spread bloggy love wherever I go.
So help me blog."
Now grab a button, slather on some sunscreen, and go enjoy your Summer.
Don't forget to send postcards!

You are too funny. I took the pledge and will be sporting a button. Now, to decide which one!
Yes yes yes!!!!! I love each and every button but I'm gonna have to go with the surfing one. Or I may rotate them every week. Yeah right. Thanks for giving me more blog work to do! :-)
Love the oath, love the whole deal...now off to spread the word....
I just love you. I feel so much better that I now have a support group. Gone surfing.
Great idea! I know people are going to be around less. I wish I could say the same for me!
Those buttons are brilliant. I'm going to attempt to keep blogging at full speed, but if I fall short I'll be back to grab one of those. :)
So so so brilliant.
I adore you.
Worship you.
Wish I could BE you.
Need to stop staring in your windows at night...
Oh...did I go too far? ;)
Definitely grabbing myself a button.
Em,
This is fabulous!
Those are totally groovy!
I'm trying to go ahead full-steam...but if I fail.
I'll be back!
heh heh
brilliant!
I love it :)
You are a genius!
And I have a new button.
Em,lol...I was just thinking if blogging everyother day! totally grabbing a button! Happy Summer! :)
This is so funny! I love it! I'm grabbing me a button.
This is great, I took the pledge and grabbed a button....
unfortunately, i have no "summer." no kids, year-round job. i will cut you some slack though :) *bloggy love*
I love these....gonna grab on and put it on my blog.
you make me so happy.
I love them all! I've got to decide which one to display starting in 2 weeks when school's out for the summer.
(Sorry, yep that song is now stuck in my head too. Dagnabit!)
I'm so WITH you on this!
That's great - even when I am working full time and summer is just a state of mind.
I no longer feel guilty. Thanks and love the buttons.
I think I need a P.O.L. (prisoner of Life) button instead!
Hey Em! I have some awards for you....stop by to pick them up.
I love it! If I didn't have to work during the summer I would be all for this, but since I blog from work AND unfortunately I will be here, I just can't join. :(
Well, maybe during my vacay week...
Love the badges. I guess I probably will be one of those crazy people who continue to blog during these lean times. Yes, I fully understand that people have lives and they cannot get to their computers. I may cut back so that I can produce more quality rather than quantity, but I just had my vacation and life just goes on for me.
Hilarious! Oddly,I retired, but am feeling a slight come back!
Big hug to you. No, not just big hug. The kind where I lift you off your feet and twirl you around and around until we're both so dizzy we fall to the ground laughing.
(I wonder if "Prisoner of Promotion" would apply to me this fall? I will probably be MIA for quite some time writing my promotion papers like a madwoman!)
I love this idea! Leave it to you to come up with it. I just wish it said P"M"S blogger instead. That's a much better adjective to describe me lately.
But I shall wear my badge, and wear it proudly.
I am so delighted to display your new button on my blog!! I so needed it! It has been over a week since my last post! Now that I know that I am not alone I don't feel quite as bad!
I took the crab.
*wrists forward* I'm ready for the shackles.
(LOL! What a superlative idee-er! Thnks for allowing me to snag the button.)
Hahaha, P.O.S., that is great.
Love them! Thanks!
I'm going part-time (in bloggy-land) this summer, too! Love this idea. Thanks for the lovely buttons - Mr. Crabby is up at my site.
Do you have one that says I'm moving AND I'm pregnant? hee hee...
These are great. I'll be grabbing one now!
SUCH a great idea!!
Yeah, i only just started blogging, and after my first two posts, im already having less and less time for it!
Aus.
OMG you crack me up.
I'm so with this.
Exactly HOW smart are you?
BTW, I just noticed your sidebar button...one of my biggest pet peeves is the misuse of the apostrophe. I am SO ordering one of those T-Shirt's.
(Yes, I know.)
Oh Em! Thanks! I love this post and my summer life so yes I'm cutting everyone slack and getting out on (can you believe it!) Aug. 24!
Happy Summer Fun!
VERY cleaver! Thanks for helping us cut ourselves and each other a break!
I LOVE YOU! I have been a victim of the guilt and shame of throwing up an occasional post, not spreading the comment love the way I used to either. I have spent many a sleepless night saddened that a few followers have jumped ship. Oh the horror!
I will post my button loud and proud!!! Thank you!!!!
Uh, yeah-baby! Thanks so much for this! Oathed and will grab a button...
I'm in. Adding a button to my site right now!
I am loving that idea!!!!
Fantastic!!! I took the pledge....here is to a wonderful summer!! (found you through Jay @ Halftime Lessons)
I'm in!
I love this idea! I have 3 blogs and posted a different button on each.

I'm also the "Sitings" editor at Sited And Blogged and a link to your post will be including in my sitings for this Friday, June 12th.
I saw this on Heather of the EO's blog. I am totally playing along! I love the crabby patty one!
I'm so glad to finally find a support group for my addiction!
Oh, I all of a sudden feel some relief from my obsessive need to blog and read blogs. I'm taking the pledge too! (Found you through Liz @ Loving Mom 2 Boys)
count me in! you know which button i chose don'tcha?? :) smashing idea, dahling.
Oh, now this is great!!!!!! Nothing bugs me more than when people post about being sorry for not blogging enough. I swore I'd never write a post like that, however, there's one on my blog right now.
I am sooooooo taking a button! Thanks so much. :) What a great idea!
*Thanks for putting my button on your blog. I really appreciate it!
Brilliant idea! I need a button for S.A.W. Bloggers -- Stuck at Work bloggers. Right now I'm both P.O.S. and S.A.W. I'm a loser.
Love it!
I am so taking your button and becoming a prisoner! LOVE this idea! AWESOME!
This is an extremely timely post. I've been blogging about this very thing and just today posted that I will be blogging less this summer (though truthfully I may continue to blog less come 9/1/09 as well. I will definitely put a button my sidebar and link back here. Thanks for starting the P.O.S revolution.
I herby take the pledge and become a joyful POS!!!
I love it! I am snitching one! I agree with Lee of MWOB, I may alternate each week! Great idea!
I added your button to my blog today. :) What fun!!!
I may be late due to the insanity of summer but I have posted this excellant button:) Thanks!
