I pop in, read a few, comment then go back to work.<br /><br />Ref: Wordpress<br />I don't think I've ever had any problem with your set up. I don't know what makes it different, but a few Wordpress blogs make you subscribe. The links aren't active and I have to copy and paste to get it to work. It's a real pain. <br /><br />But yours never put me threw those hoops.

I need to be better at following links of people who comment on my blogs and commenting there as well. I seem to have a different comment crowd than I did at Fantasy Debut.<br /><br />And I hope my wordpress blog isn't one that puts you through hoops!

I like to comment when I am made to feel welcome. Some blogs seem to much like insular little clubs.<br /><br />There is one blog that is a favorite, but she is drowning in her own popularity. A few big blogs picked up on her and she went freaking viral, gaining about a thousand followers a week for a couple of months.<br /><br />She went from posting nearly daily to 2-3 times per month and admits that success has nearly paralyzed her.<br /><br />As for comments, her last post got over 200 comments in less than two hours. I will admit, the comments are funnier than some people's blogs!<br /><br />Just wanted to stop by and say hi!<br /><br />Terri<br />whyifearclowns.comTerri Coophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461583056862465783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-44814070053342815052010-06-20T03:17:33.918-05:002010-06-20T03:17:33.918-05:00Thank you!Thank you!fairyhedgehoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14141089706966852951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-48590479438645137712010-06-19T12:47:07.247-05:002010-06-19T12:47:07.247-05:00I'm glad you're here, fairyhedgehog.

I love your thinking posts, they are what brought me by your blog in the first place! (of course have quite a good time reading all of your posts but usually that is as far as it gets, my bad)<br /><br />Thanks so much for the shout out to mine, you are very welcome there anytime. It is very nice to find someone who is down to earth and has the same type of eclectic taste as myself. My number one reason for leaving a comment is just that, when the blogger is original, unassuming and down to earth how can I not comment?<br />The kind of blogs that I read at times and never ever comment on are the ones where every post is a controversial one. Like Marian Perera not much into getting involved in these "trainwrecks"!<br /><br />jackie b central texasJackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02181111718630957098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-20114715646637744102010-06-16T09:23:36.699-05:002010-06-16T09:23:36.699-05:00Hi Maria!

I'd have hoovered a bit if if I'd known you were sending these lovely folks over!!<br /><br />I don't comment a lot for all of the above reasons and because I don't want to be a bore. I'm the opposite of some people here - quite chatty in real life, but only commenting when I can add something to the conversation.

I read her every time she posts, but am absolutely intimidated by the sheer volume of comments she gets, so I seldom chime in (Jennifer, if you're reading ... I'm sorry I don't speak up more! LOL).<br /><br />It doesn't help that I don't have the time to read daily, so often by the time I show up the place is mobbed -- like your blog now!<br /><br />RE: responding to comments... I wonder if folks prefer having responses on the blog proper or being emailed. I tend to respond via email because it's easier, but now I wonder if other people think I just ignore comments ... Hmmm....<br /><br />Plus, I often feel as though I ramble (much like I do on my blog), so ... it's all just "blah, blah" like the adults on a Charlie Brown special.Marianne Arkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934613403368823760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-84778493582506975582010-06-15T07:15:14.541-05:002010-06-15T07:15:14.541-05:00Catie:
