Ok, so I am getting a little tired of blogging. Here's why. At first, I was blogging just to do it. Then a few weeks ago, I was like "why do I do this, no one really reads it". So I start commenting on more blogs. Lots of them, to see if I could get more people to come check out my site. I realize I am kinda boring, but so are a lot of other people's blogs!
You know how many people came back and commented on mine? Maybe 2! I mean, come on people, at least a return "Hi" comment or something!
Now, I know what you're thinking...lots of people don't return comments. But here's the thing. I've seen those bloggers that I have made several comments on their blogs return comments to other bloggers who visit their site, but not mine.
Am I really so uninteresting that I don't even deserve a "hello, thanks for visiting my blog"? I guess so!

I have found that people don't always follow the proper etiquette. I always try to go comment back on someone's blog if they comment on mine. If they aren't talking about anything that I care about, I usually try to give a "Nice Blog, thanks for stopping by mine."
Don't give up, though. Do it for you.
I've actually notice alot of this going around lately. I'm trying to give people the benefit of the doubt though, with it being the beginning of school and all. Everyone seems to be so busy right now.
I know I've been having all kinds of trouble trying to get to everyone (sometimes a few fall through the cracks) and I've been having even more trouble thinking of anything interesting to blog about. I got lots of depressing stuff and boring stuff I could write about right now but I'm trying to keep myself under control and not run off the readers I DO have.
And hey thanks for coming by and commenting the last few days AND adding me to your links list. It's always an honor to be linked.
I've been out of the loop lately for many, many reasons, but I am coming over to say Hi to you! Your kids are adorable too!!
Okay first off, you are def not boring!!! I love reading what my nieces and nephew is up to, so keep it up...please?!
Second off, you should go visit Michele
if you are looking for comments. She is wonderful with "sharing the comment cheer"!
Lo, the blogosphere would not be the same without you here. Or Trinty for that matter. Now my blog...that's BORING. Yours is great, keep it up.
It's so funny to read this post since you commented on my blog for the first time today! (Thanks, BTW!)
Like Sleeping Mommy, I've noticed this, too. The thing I remind myself is "if you write it, they will come." I try not to get too wrapped up in whose reading it (although it can be strange when your stats shoot up and NO ONE comments). I want my writing to be true, not tailored to what I think readers might want.
If it's for you, stick to it!
Of course, MIM, I wasn't speaking about you specifically as I just found your site today.
I have been looking and commenting on new blogs frequently over the past couple of weeks.
Thanks for stopping by! And for the return reply! :)
Hi, I found your blog from Lizzlee's.
I never realized there was an ettiquette to blogs. Personally, I would not start posting on someone else's blog just because they posted on mine (if they could find it).
I make my blog for myself and a few of my close friends. I don't do this to meet people.
That said, I have now met you through Lizzlee's blog. I was wondering how she knew you, and it appears just thought the internet although I am not sure. Anyway, I found it positive that you like Christian music. I guess you must be a Christian. That is great! I like Christians.
Later,

Hi, Zedek! Thanks for visiting me. There is such a thing as blog etiquette. Just like if someone were to say hello to you and you ignored them and didn't reply, but you knew they heard you, that would be considered rude.
It's kinda the same way with blogs. If someone leaves a comment on your blog, it is polite to visit their site and leave a comment. (Even if it's just "hi, thanks for visiting my blog").
That doesn't mean you have to then go to that person's site on a regular basis and read if you are not interested in what they blog about. It's just basically a way of acknowledging them.
Btw, I COULDN'T find your blog, or I would have left you a comment;)
