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! 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.
