The only problem with it seems to be that now I can see how many people are visiting the blog each day/week/month (as opposed to the inoccuous little ticker at the bottom that I rarely remembered to look at).
And I'm getting a good 350-500 visits a day. Not huge, not bad. A nice number.
Except I'm getting very few comments. And now I'm feeling all insecure and pouty about this.
Who are you? What brought you here? Is there something you'd like to see on here? Something that would make you talk to me?
See, whiny little cow, aren't I?
So - I have decided that August will be De-Lurking month. And I'm going to make it easy for you.
I found this site, which offers heaps of great prompts for blog posts. And I'm going to use one each day of August to pose a question. Not questions that will require a tremendous amount of thought or time to answer.
But it would make me really happy if you could play along and drop me a line. Come out of hiding....
Hi! I read frequently, but I'm lazy and just read through bloglines. I'll make an effort to click and comment.

I read a lot of blogs via the RSS feeds, and comment on pretty much none of them. I always feel as though I have nothing to contribute, either the blog post doesn't require audience participation, or someone already said what I wanted to say far more eloquently.
ReplyDeleteI am just as bad with comments on my own blog! If someone replies I really should make the effort to acknowledge what they say, but again I feel like I have nothing to add. The perils of being anti-social!
Oh no! I find commenting a bit of a conundrum personally...I love reading your blog (plus many others) and I could probably comment on each and every post I read but I don't want to seem all stalker-ish, especially as I don't actually know anyone I follow in real life. I'm afraid if I comment too much people may wonder who that crazy Blondie person is, but then I know I personally love it when someone comments on mine, so it's a neverending battle. Sigh. The bliss of overthinking everything.
ReplyDeleteRest assured your blog is loved by many.
Hey Melissa,
ReplyDeleteI comment sometimes, other times not. Sometimes it is just nice to sit with the images and the words of someone elses world?
So if I don;t comment, it is because I am just enjoying the "peace" which visually your blog always brings.....
