Blogger Attitude

Blogs and Blogging... And What I Think About It...



This is about blogging. Over the last few days, I've been looking through about 350 blogs (little by little) that I imported into my Bloglines account.

I've unsubscribed to roughly 100 of them so far. Some of them had subject matter that I don't care to read for various reasons -- they were boring, offensive to me, etc. Others haven't been posted in for a while -- they're dead blogs.

I can't help laughing about what one guy wrote for his last post before he moved his blog. I should have copied and saved it but I didn't, so I'll paraphrase:

  • I'm moving my blog to a new address and if you don't know where I've moved that's because I didn't send you an e-mail. And the reason I didn't send you an e-mail is because you haven't written any comments here. You're just a lurker. My blog is for interactive users of the internet... etc., etc.

Well, then!Well, then! That should get him a lot of readers, not. I'm sure I wouldn't have liked his blog anyway!

If most of us had that attitude, our blogs wouldn't be in existence at all.

You are so right, Sarabeth. Personally, I tend to think of them as readers, not lurkers. :D I'm grateful for all who stop by.

That's a bit like the creator of incomprehensible art accusing the viewer for failing to appreciate it. Ivory towers are just castles made of sand.

I have some readers that come by everyday but i have no idea who they are as they never comment. But that is fine with me i don't always leave comments either.

CONTENTMENT: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry, live simply, expect little, give much, sing often, pray always, forget self, think of others and their feelings, fill your heart with love, scatter sunshine. These are the tried links in the golden chain of contentment.

IT IS STILL BEST to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasure; and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.
(Laura Ingalls Wilder, 1867-1957)
