As you may have noticed, I haven't been adding much or updating my various link collections over on the sidebar. And I'm sure that some of them have moved or gone defunct. More importantly, I'm sure I'm missing some great sites that should have a link here.
So here's a public call for links: What's missing? What should be added? Have you noticed any broken links? Leave suggestions in the comments field below.
Criteria for adding: has to be related to books in general, publishing related (including publisher blogs), SF/F (or any sub-genre thereof), YA books, queer books, good author blogs, awesome web-comics and/or ridiculous things that will make me laugh. (Because I need more reasons to procrastinate.) Also any blogs on indie music or NYC that you think I'll like.
Heck, YOU read this blog. You know what I'm interested in.
Hit me, kids!

I'm surprised you don't have the YA YA YAs on there! They're fellow YA book bloggers and fabulous ones at that:
http://theyayayas.wordpress.com
Not a blog but a great resource site:
http://www.alden.nu/resources.shtml
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I have a character-building blog where I talk about how to write characters. It's fairly new.
http://genevieve-wood@blogspot.com
Oooh. I somewhat humbly thing active-voice.net might be of interest. We review kids/YA fantasy and scifi books with an emphasis on a feminist perspective.
Go Fug Yourself has moved; your link goes to a site no longer updated.
Webcomic I love--No Need For Bushido. http://www.noneedforbushido.com/
Awesome writing tool/toy: Panlexicon. http://panlexicon.com/
Mock the foolish people: The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks. http://quotation-marks.blogspot.com/
Feel awkward doing self promotion, but in the Skiffy Book Stuff Category, my blog is a skiffy book / story review site along the lines of some of the other ones you have listed.
Oh, FantasyBookSpot is now simply BookSpotCentral
This is just funny, not writing related, but cakewrecks.blogspot.com is usually good for a laugh.
Also a writery hang out of sorts--
dennistriestohelp.ning.com
"Dennis Cass wants you to be more awesome"
Holy cow! I'd never really noticed how many links you've got on your blog! As if I didn't already have enough daily clicks of my own. :)
I don't see Jim C. Hines's blog on your list. http://jimhines.livejournal.com/ He writes fantasy for DAW and has a great blog, updated just about every weekday. It seems to be the kind of blog, and writer, that you'd appreciate, I dunno.
And I don't know if you'd be interested, but I like AnthologyBuilder.com http://www.anthologybuilder.com/welcome.php, a site where you can choose stories (all reprints from paying markets) to build a custom anthology. I think it's a cool use of POD technology.
I see my friend, the fab Ms Diver listed... There's Dave Freer: davefreer.livejournal.com author of a dozen plus novels.
James Enge jamesenge.livejournal.com published in Blackgate, Flashing Swords and due out from Pyr in the spring.
C.E. Murphy: mizkit.livejournal.com
myself: Onyxhawke.livejournal.com
Author Michael Z Williamson: mzmadmike.livejournal.com
and i may have missed it but i didn't see a link to Writers Beware or P&E
An incredibly awesome way to procrastinate :-)

Can't recommend Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast enough.
It's a co-authored blog. Jules and Eisha, the tag-team, are or have been YA/children's librarians (E recently got a job in a rare books/manuscripts collection at Cornell, though). Much (not all) of the blog's content thus revolves around YA/kidlit -- which normally I'd say I couldn't allot time to. But they do a stupendous job: they're enthusiastic, genuinely nice people, VERY good writers, and have impeccable taste in writers and illustrators, for adults as well as kids.
Only thing is: you may have to force yourself NOT to spend much time there!
...and, having run off at the mouth, NOW I look to see if 7 Imp is already on your blogroll.
Er, it is.
Sheepish ":)" there!
Here's one I recently found - conversations with DAW book authors.
http://community.livejournal.com/dawbooks/
Querytracker.net
Duotrope.com
Ralan.com
Then of course there's my own wonderful blog where I blog about writing stuff http://jeffcrook.blogspot.com
and my blog where I've begun posting some of my previously published short fiction http://jeffcrookfiction.blogspot.com.
Try:

I'd like to second k.c. shaw's vote for Jim Hines. I visit his LJ every day. He is thoughtful, as in "full of thought."
Also, Reflection's Edge is a free monthly webzine with really good short fiction. If you like Ideomancer, you'd like Reflection's Edge.
No great links to suggest, just a question: I would like to put a link to your blog on my blog, but don't want to do so without permission. Sorry, it's one of those pesky things ingrained into me by my parents - always ask before you do something. Would it be alright to put a link on my blog to your blog? Thanks.
Jonathan Lyons' agent blog, http://lyonsliterary.blogspot.com/,
would be a nice addition. (I don't think you have it...sorry if I'm wrong.)
It's quiet and reserved, but always smart.
I feel a bit awkward but because you asked: I write a blog about being a published author (MG/YA) where I try to give advice as best I can about the industry and writing in general. I offer Mr. Nathan Bransford as a fan (what was that sound? Ah, a name dropping . . .) and yeah . . . please check it out, if you like it I would be very flattered to be linked from your site. If you don't, I swear I won't be offended, lol:
www.ididntchoosethis.blogspot.com
Lynn Viehl's paperback writer blog
pbackwriter.blogspot.com
I'm pleased to see SFScope already on your list, so I'll offer up my two personal blogs, just in case you might find them amusingly worth linking to:
ianrandalstrock.livejournal.com is my personal me-talking-about-everything blog
uspresidents.livejournal.com is my brand new, what-the-other-one-started-out-to-be blog that talks about the presidents and presidency of the US and is a stand-alone support mechanism for my forthcoming book.
My pal Kimber An just launched a blog focusing on Young Adult Science Fiction. I think she's got something there.
And if you cared to add The Galaxy Express (for those who love science fiction romance) to your blogroll, I would be honored.
Thanks, Heather! And, yes, the Galaxy Express is definitely worthy linking. It's the place to go to learn about, share the love of, and find the best books in Science Fiction Romance.
how about "I can has cheezburger"? the LOLcat website.
oh... since everyone else is promoting their blog, *cough* anybody is welcomed to read my crap. just click on my name and you'll see two blogs. that's all...
Something that's interesting, at any rate - the web fiction guide!
http://webfictionguide.com/
I'd like to pimp my blog: bethrevis.blogspot.com
It's about writing and character development and plot and genre and all that good stuff.
Well... I could recommend my blog, http://www.madnessabides.com/ , but it is still in its infancy, so instead I’ll just recommend an author for people try out for an entertaining pulpy sci-fi post-apocalypse story - Jeff Carlson’s Plague and Plague War - check more on him out here http://www.jverse.com/ .
I just discovered a site called Wordle that lets you make word art out by pulling keywords from any text (or a blog feed).
I pasted my synopsis for The Edge of Memory into the creator and made some pretty cool-looking wordcloud art for my blog.
Here's my latest blog that chronicles the writing process - draft by draft, good days & bad days, query letter, etc., from start to finish. Basically, it's a writing journal that anyone can read - my perspective, my process, and links to help writers.
