I do agree all the way around.<br /><br />Good luck with your return to full time work on Monday!!!Lucie LeBlanc Consentinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13480035657625949265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011504164207885278.post-80960280470974896682010-02-06T11:31:05.270-05:002010-02-06T11:31:05.270-05:00I too try to follow new bloggers and welcome them ...I too try to follow new bloggers and welcome them to the blog world. <br />I comment regularly on almost all if I can add something to the topic at hand. If all I could say is "nice post" then I don't bother because that is not sincere and not me. <br />I am starting back to full time work on Monday and I am going to try so hard to still keep up with posting and with visiting my followers. I think the followers gadget is important. It creates community and exposes our blogs to the readers of other blogs as well. <br />Even those bloggers who say they only write for themselves I feel we do a better job of it when we know others will be reading it.Lori Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10775116608698555225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011504164207885278.post-35133940720763850382010-02-06T11:23:56.145-05:002010-02-06T11:23:56.145-05:00Thank you for your comments Mary and Diana - I agr...Thank you for your comments Mary and Diana - I agree that life get does get in the way a whole lot at times lol<br /><br />I don't post a comment as often I should either but I'm going to resolve to do so in the future. There are just so many good blogs out there. First and foremost, I agree with what you say about having a new blog and being encouraged by "followers"<br /><br />This Lucie's Legacy is only a couple of months old and as I've seen other bloggers and non-bloggers sign on to follow, I have found it most encouraging. My other blog has been around a couple of years so there are quite a few followers.Lucie LeBlanc Consentinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13480035657625949265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011504164207885278.post-88343677981680701932010-02-06T11:13:47.658-05:002010-02-06T11:13:47.658-05:00Good post - I especially like and agree with your ...Good post - I especially like and agree with your comment about following new blogs. When I first started blogging and was absolutely amazed when people followed me! I remember telling my sister after a few days - "I have 20 people following me and they're NOT relatives!" It really encouraged me to continue.<br /><br />I know that I don't comment as much as I should - and there are weeks when I don't read any blogs because life gets in the way. But following allows me to easily see which blogs have new activity when I do have time.<br /><br />Also, in Google reader I have folders so I can organize them into groups that make sense for me.Diana Ritchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05954839264299339937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011504164207885278.post-19136214934433843772010-02-06T10:20:03.260-05:002010-02-06T10:20:03.260-05:00I agree with Deb, I try to read & post a comme...I agree with Deb, I try to read & post a comment to each one I'm following once a week. Sometimes it gets done, other times it does. I know people who won't leave comments (or do so anonymously) because they don't want to sign up for a google account.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670461716038876587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011504164207885278.post-88861855085526577252010-02-06T08:21:43.182-05:002010-02-06T08:21:43.182-05:00Hi Deb,
Thank you for your comment.
I don't ...Hi Deb,<br /><br />Thank you for your comment.<br /><br />I don't always understand why people do not post a comment. In my case, some of the people who've known me for some time though my Acadian Ancestral Home web site often send me a private email about the blog or sometimes post a message on my Facebook wall.<br /><br />Some day when I retire from being retired (smile) perhaps I'll be able to keep up with many more blogs. Like many, I don't know how I ever got anything done when I worked full time ;o)Lucie LeBlanc Consentinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13480035657625949265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011504164207885278.post-2783099255884462572010-02-06T08:12:22.757-05:002010-02-06T08:12:22.757-05:00very nice post...I try to check in on all the blog...very nice post...I try to check in on all the blogs I follow atleast once a week....it does make you feel good when you see your follower numbers go up...but then it makes you wonder when you don't have that many comments...you can usually tell who your main followers are because they are the ones that comment on a regular basis...Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745604261113221887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011504164207885278.post-22409564873704991502010-02-06T08:04:24.539-05:002010-02-06T08:04:24.539-05:00Hi Greta,

Whatever we do, I think it is important to support one another however we can do that.<br /><br />Thanks so much for you response! ;o)Lucie LeBlanc Consentinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13480035657625949265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011504164207885278.post-87032688810575709392010-02-06T07:56:32.692-05:002010-02-06T07:56:32.692-05:00Hi Lucie - I actually use the option that "Fo...Hi Lucie - I actually use the option that "Following" blogs gives me in my Blogger reader - that is the first place I check when I sit down for my nightly "blog read." Then, for those blogs that don't have the Follow feature, I check out the Blogroll on my blog. It's a little bit more cumbersome than just using a regular reader, but I enjoy doing it that way. I don't read every blog every day, but I do read quite a few!Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.com
