I don't mind. You can click it. Google created a really fun experience with the "Next Blog" option. And it is different everytime. I don't know how Google determines it, but it seems content related ... kind of.
I, personally, like to make a game out of the "Next Blog" button.
Game #1) Next Blog Click. Obviously, I like to start from my own blog, but you can start from any blogspot blog of your choosing. Simply goto your starting point and click "Next Blog". When you are finished checking out your find, click the back button, refresh button and then "Next Blog" again and see what different blog comes up. You may even find a new blog to follow.
Example when I clicked just now (well technically it was in the past for you, but present for me. (Time Travelled)): "More Adventerous", last updated 2/18/10 and 29 followers.
Game #2) Next Blog x3. From a blogspot blog of your choosing, click "Next Blog" three times. You shouldn't even have to move your mouse cursor. Just click away (but not too fast, you have to wait for the blog to load). Now in this game, don't get distracted by blog 1 or blog 2, your goal is blog 3. Blog 1 and Blog 2 don't count, and if you are being honest with yourself, you should be penalized if you succumb to a prolonged pause.
Example: "Liberal Catholic Sports Music", last updated 3/15/10 and currently in a feud with another blog, "Of Course, I Could be Wrong ... " (aka the Mad Priest).
Another example: "Unknown" because I am not invited to read it. But that is just part of the game ... mark one in the loss column.
Do over: "Scarface Periodical", last updated 2/10/10 and follows 21 other blogs (I wonder how he found them?)
Game #3) Next Blog 3XTR3M3. ::WARNING:: This game is not for the faint hearted. If you enjoy the "Next Blog" button, or have been intrigued by these "Next Blog" games, you could find this challenge enjoyable. However, if you lack in observation and perseverence skills you may want to stick with the simpler games noted above. The rules are simple, the task is not. Using only the "Next Blog", Back and Refresh buttons ... find how many "Next Blog" clicks it takes to find any blog a second time*.
My example: "Sassy Granny", 27 "Next Blog" clicks to see "Sassy Granny" a second time. The first time was on click 20 or so.
When you have time, explore the blogspot world of blogs by clicking the "Next Blog" button. You can just check them out, or make a game out of it. Try one of my game suggestions, but perhaps you would like to make up your own.
Tell me in the comments, if you find an interesting blog. Or, if you make up your own "Next Blog" game, let me know how to play.

*Though you can use the Back and Refresh buttons, they are null clicks and don't apply towards the overall click count. Only "Next Blog" clicks should be counted.
