Okay I told a lie. LOL look closely. 188. Guess in my mind that's close to 200 right? tee hee.
How many of you actually comment on each and every blog?
( I don't. It's hard to keep up!)
Let's be real. Some of you I adore and read like 2 times a day. I relate to many of you, and thus these are the people I comment on fairly often, added on Facebook, and email regularly, and not all that short from exchanging digits with to text. :) LOL
However, some
Then there are those who well.....write about the most random sh*t (sorry no nice way to say it) and day after day it shows up in my reader and I never comment well just simply because I cannot really relate your post to me. Some posts I read, I think Hmmmmmmm.... then then no thoughts come to my mind as to what to comment on your post! :( And I totally get some are having babies (i'm not so I can't relate and all they wanna post about is baby baby baby) And some are posting wedding (that doesn't bother me so much bec I'm like most girls a dreamer, and it's fun to see the pictures, the planning, the dresses all the details) And some are posting well Hate towards men and bad break ups and what not. Some are posting all about pets and I can proudly say I never tire of reading those! Some post merely on fashion, celebs, and make up. Okay from time to time. I comment here and there on those.
Make sense right? There are some blogs I started off following heavily in the beginning, and now they either don't update as much anymore (as I am sure life has totally gotten in the way or laziness. One of the two) and then there are just that well no offense just BORE ME! sorry. So dear bloggy friends, if maybe your following numbers go down, I don't mean to offend by not following you anymore, it's just if I haven't commented on your posts in like decades, then I am just not with you or can't really relate to you these days! No harm in being honest right?
I have a few new bloggy beauties that show up in my window and I go to click on your gorgeous little faces and I am instantly saddened, because you have not shared the link back to your own blog. Call me crazy but isn't that why you are on here? To share a bit of your life to strangers? Making networking connections? Friends? etc etc. If you don't show your link to your own blog, how can I ever blog hop on over to you and see what your world is about when you can so see into mine? Just sayin........
See these? these are your faces! when I click on them I wanna see the link to either an email to write you back or the link to your blog! Go into your settings will fix this peeps! |
I do my best to write back to comments written to me. Although I will admit I am more of a gracious blogger in the sense of I don't always write back, just know I did read what you wrote and am grateful you stop by to even comment! :)
I do love my followers. Truly I do. I'm nothing special. I feel like the opening quote in the Notebook should be inserted here:
“I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who’s ever lived: I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough.”
— | Noah, from The Notebook |
I have just started blogging and I am already following 50 something blogs. I definitely get annoyed as well when a blogger will post +3 posts a day, I just don't have the time to keep up. But I'm now trying to follow people that I can somewhat relate to one way or another, or I think is interesting and/or inspiring. I am a relatively new follower and clicked on your blog from another page. I'm happy I did you are beautiful and I enjoy reading your posts!

your honesty cracks me up! I've stopped following some blogs lately too and I don't feel bad about it...

Happy Holidays! :)

When I started blogging, I followed blogs my friends were following but eventually found blogs that interested me and I stopped following the other ones. Totally agree on people posting too much!! It's like when people update their status on facebook all day long :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my post! and I'm sorry about missing that comment, I did write back, I just posted a reply on my post, here's what I said:
ReplyDelete"I would love to do a post about my family, I think I will do it around Christmas time, when we are all together and I can take pictures. Also I am the fourth oldest, the rest are all younger than me and they are all immediate siblings, I will post more in a few weeks!"
So look out for a post within the next two weeks or so with a little bio of my family! Thanks for stopping by!
xoxo

You follow 188 blogs?! Seriously, I don't see how you keep up!! I can barely keep up with a little over 50...you're a queen =).
ReplyDeleteI do have to admit though, I do sporadic "cleanings" of my following list. If I know the person hasn't posted in a gazillion days or I just don't enjoy their blog anymore, I delete them. What's the point of following someone who I can't relate to, ya know?
NUMBER ONE... I adore that movie and that quote... well chosen my blogger friend.
ReplyDeleteNUMERO DOS... I was so smiley and goofy when I saw my face on your :friendly faces: snapshot. Like... HEY, THAT'S ME! New to your blog, but love it tons and trying to get my followers boosted. Suggestions?
I understand completely! I feel the same way. I get into funks where I write about pretty much nothing...then have tons to say. I follow so many blogs and find it very hard to keep up. I need to purge! Lol thank you for your honesty, and I hope you are feeling better!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I agree with you on a lot of what you said!
ReplyDeleteYour honesty is SO nice! Some people just "follow, follow, follow..." even when they don't even care to read the blogs. I have been getting into blogging more lately, but I am trying to stick with blogs that I can relate to!! I want to be able to see a new post and remember who the poster is and know something about her! Nobody likes a blog whore! Haha. : )This post made me smile!
ReplyDeleteAw, I saw my pic in your photo! :) I too have recently cleaned up some of the blogs I am following, sometimes it gets to be too much, and there's no law that says you cannot return one day! xx

Im pretty sure my picture is one of those that you click on & it doesn't show my blog. Is that true? If so, how do I fix it? for now I just put my name and blog address.
ReplyDeleteYou tell 'em sista! I fixed my email and I am pretty sure I have my webpage listed..as you know I'm still a newbie so please, tell me if I am wrong?! What I don't understand is...why people don't comment back!!! but you see them comment on others. Is this like a "clique" I should know about? haha I am just going to stop following those people I think :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a whole lot of blogs to follow, good greif lol. I only follow blogs that I can get around to reading consistently & therefore I've chosen one's that I enjoy.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think this whole "blog world" is a crack up.
I don't have a whole lot in common with some of the blogs I like to follow like yours for instance, but I do enjoy some of your posts. Great insight & reads. And I love that you seem to have a pure passion for your teaching & your lil ones you teach, as a mommy of a lil pre-schooler myself it makes me happy.
Have a good weekend :)
Get after it girl! :)
ReplyDeleteVery true! It's hard to keep up when people post three times a day. If it means reading only the most recent of their posts, so be it. If I see a little 3 next to there name on my google reader, I'll just cheat and read the newest one. LOL!
ReplyDeleteWhen I have time, I really do try and read all the blogs I follow. And 90 % of the time, I comment. Comments make me happy so I try to return the favor! :)
Aw your so cute I love how you put it out there with the followers and you posted about something with commenters before. I totally relate to you I'm the same way especially with the crazy bloggers who post way to much stuff.
ReplyDeletehaha I love this post!! I have been "unfollowing" people and deleting them off my favorites if I am over them hehe. But you are one of my favs!!
ReplyDeleteI totally get what you mean! I try not to post more than once a day, but sometimes I'll sneak a second post if need be! I actually started to clean out my dashboard yesterday, I follow too many blogs I dont read anymore! But I do love yours lady, your one of my faves!
ReplyDeleteFollow me please :)
