My sisters and I started blogging to keep up with each other (we live in three different countries) and our little exchanges aren't the typical on blogs (we have entire conversations in the "comments" section). But I love the idea of connecting this way with other people and, like you said, spreading the love. Great blog!lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405410870017812563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748825559890165633.post-23808559371803747612008-02-06T16:43:00.000-06:002008-02-06T16:43:00.000-06:00I guess I'm both!

Like you, I have a lot of blogs I read, and I'd be here all day if I commented on all of them, but I do try and delurk as often as I can. Sometimes I'm just too tired and reading is the best I can do, but at the same time, I know how much I love getting comments, so I try to give them. For whatever reason, my comment to hits ratio is very low, and I'm not entirely sure what I can do to encourage more people to speak up. But then I figure they're like me...sometimes you just can't think of anything interesting to say. ;)Fresh Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01252454011441332663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748825559890165633.post-31774883975524495692008-02-05T13:58:00.000-06:002008-02-05T13:58:00.000-06:00I used to comment on everything I read, but recent...I used to comment on everything I read, but recently realized that I don't have time to do that, and read all the posts I love AND write my own blog. So I made a commitment to myself that I will lurk more, comment less so I can keep my blog fresh and spend time with the family I love.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05199941051691469813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748825559890165633.post-13781976524366615332008-02-05T13:48:00.000-06:002008-02-05T13:48:00.000-06:00I'm a commenter, but sometimes I feel weird about ...I'm a commenter, but sometimes I feel weird about commenting on someone's blog when I don't actually KNOW the person.

And, I wouldn't want to, really. I would get to the point where I was leaving junkie comments.<BR/><BR/>I try to be sure to leave comments on most of the blogs in my reader every so often. I know I comment on some more than others. I will almost always comment if a posting really catches my interest/attention (well -- probably about 75% of the time this happens). <BR/><BR/>See...like for me, I have had lots of people that I know "in real life" (LOL) that have mentioned before that they faithfully read my blog. But, you know what? Not a single one of them has ever commented. That's just the way it is sometimes. Actually, speaking of that, I know from Analytics that there are a whole bunch of people reading that don't comment. I'm not too worried about it though. I love comments, but I blog to record our life as it is at this moment. <BR/><BR/>And, I felt this was especially true after I just received a published book of my blog entries for last year from Blurb. That really made me realize, as I went through and read some of our antics aloud to my family, that I am blogging for us and our memories. I'm just pleased to be able to bring some people along for the ride. :)Angie @ Many Little Blessingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13846708503551936348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748825559890165633.post-82215376589025799772008-02-05T13:02:00.000-06:002008-02-05T13:02:00.000-06:00This is my first time to seriously read your blog....This is my first time to seriously read your blog.
