I started blogging to increase exposure for my jewelry...it was one of those things I "had" to do. :) I don't blog often...but I read them daily. <br /><br />2. I follow close to 100 blogs, but not all of them post daily. :)<br /><br />3. I'm mostly a lurker. <br /><br />4. I only comment if I have something to say...if I really love what someone has written, connect to it, or love the photos they've posted.Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12410624862550755871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705112.post-53620952636985731942010-07-27T17:41:33.365-07:002010-07-27T17:41:33.365-07:001.

I also tend to comment more frequently on the blogs of people who comment on mine- there's more of a connection and reason to comment then.Mellisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14275653505481965896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705112.post-38814354828893224432010-07-27T16:42:21.933-07:002010-07-27T16:42:21.933-07:00What a generous give-away...thank you!

I plan on starting a new blog soon, now that my muse has come back from her extended leave of absence.<br /><br />I follow about 15 blogs on a consistent basis, and follow links to new ones all the time.

Let's see how I do.
1. I...Oh good questions. Let's see how I do.<br /><br />1. I originally got into blogging because I was a contest junkie and a lot of them required that you have a blog. Now I am so busy reading blogs that I rarely get a chance to enter. Funny how things work out.<br /><br />2. That is hard to answer. I subscribe to them through my reader and I read them as I have time. I am usually about 3 to 7 days behind but I do read them all.<br /><br />3.It depends on the blog. Some I joined just for info and I don't tend to comment as much there. On other blogs, I feel like I have become friends with the owner so I do tend to comment more.<br /><br />4. Goodness, if I commented on every blog I wouldn't have the time to read them.`<br /><br />blogbaby(at)comcast(dot)netShai Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625514249141386180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705112.post-31874714340155950712010-07-24T09:34:19.858-07:002010-07-24T09:34:19.858-07:00I don't have a blog.

Its a lot though. I've been a secret follower of yours forever. We are both sigle parents, and you used to post shoes. I too, love shoes.<br /><br />I used to be just a lurker, until I realized how fun it is to follow & leave comments. I am starting to comment more now, when I have something to say or when I really love a piece of jewelry show.<br /><br />Congrats on you blogiversary.

I still haven't launched a business, but I design jewelry in my spare time and share it through my blog. I still hope to be able to sell my jewelry in the future, but for now I just make pieces to share with friends and family.<br /><br />2. I don't actually go to too many blogs, but I read about 20 through either google reader or Bloglines.<br /><br />3. Since I usually don't read the posts from the actual blog, I only comment when I feel compelled by something I see.<br /><br />4. I generally only leave a comment if I have something to say. I'm not purposely lurking... but I don't really want to bother people if I don't have something worthy to say.<br /><br />KellKellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05237684410834132929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705112.post-62045569721832130372010-07-23T15:48:19.825-07:002010-07-23T15:48:19.825-07:00I started blogging after reading "Blogging fo...I started blogging after reading "Blogging for Bliss".

Good questions.<br />I'll keep it brief:<br />I got into blogging because everyone else was doing it, and I figured it might be fun to keep an online journal.<br />I currently follow 207 blogs. YUH. I know, dat's a lot! Do I read them all every day? No, not possible. I comment when possible, with a full time job, I probably only comment on 1/2 of them. Sometimes less. I love blogs that have that new feature where I can click a box for Cool/ interesting/ funny- that way I can kind of comment without commenting. ok, that's totally cheating.

I don't have a blog but do read quite a few. The first one was Loreli and she led me to others. I have a group that are my first reads and the others depend on my time that day. I both lurk and comment just depending on the topic/picture/etc. I do so look forward to Bead Porn on Fridays though - the best.
