~A Blog List or Grab My Button?~

When I began the process of putting together my blog about six or seven months ago, one of the things that I read over and over again was that "the thing to do" was to create a "Grab My Button".  So I did....

I've been noticing, over the last few months, the variety of ways that bloggers do or don't show their favorite reads.  Some have no blog lists or buttons on their blog at all even though they offer a "Grab My Button".  Some have a "Grab my Button" and choose to do both buttons and blog lists (like me).  Some use only blog lists and then some use only "Grab my Button" lists. And then some have no "Grab My Button" at all.

Boy, I have a headache. Whew!  ;)

I like having the blog list because you can do them with a time line but there's no way to do that with the buttons.  At least, I haven't figured out a way.  I like having the buttons because I think they catch the reader's eye better.  So, have you figured out where I'm going with this yet?

I guess my question is, why do you do what you do?  What are the pros and cons?  I'm sure there are some or else there wouldn't be such a variety of options.  What works for you?  I would love your two cents worth on this.  Not that this is going to solve the world's problems or put the right candidate in the President's seat (sorry...hehe).  I don't park on these things very often, but today is my day.  That's what happens when I start thinking. :)

Thanks.  From the bottom of my pea-pickin' heart! ~

Update:  I have had a few tell me that my Grab My Button was not working.  So, I went back and created it again.  I would appreciate it if someone would test it to let me know if it is working.  Thanks!
