Comments on: My First Blog Post http://amythatcher.wordpress.com/2008/08/19/my-first-blog-post/ Just another WordPress blog Tue, 26 Aug 2008 23:13:05 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Amy http://amythatcher.wordpress.com/2008/08/19/my-first-blog-post/#comment-4 Amy Tue, 26 Aug 2008 23:13:05 +0000 http://amythatcher.wordpress.com/?p=6#comment-4 Glad to hear feedback from both of you. I am finally giving this blog thing a try and I am going to focus on the real reasons I want to do this and not the popularity contest or amount of comments I get. At the same time I am going to try and comment more, even to some of the more 'popular' bloggers and not be such a wuss. I should let people know I am a reader rather then 'stalk' them, let them know what I have liked about their writing, adventures, and other stuff. Glad to hear feedback from both of you.

I could relate to some of what you said on wino's blog. Sometimes I will read a zillion blogs without leaving a single comment because I just don't have anything to add. It's not a good feeling when you feel like you HAVE to say something, you know? Anyway, welcome and I hope you have a good time blogging! Welcome to the blog world!

Congrats on creating your blog! I read your comment on the other blog so I came here. As I don't have a blog but have considered it, I understood what you were saying there. Just write what you want and you should be okay. I have noticed the popularity contest thing even though I am more of a reader than a commenter myself. Among groups of bloggers, it's like the drama club vs. the chess club. Everyone is oh so important but what really defines importance? I will say that this competitiveness is mostly lacking from the addiction blogs that I read frequently. Those people are just trying to stay alive. Sure they want attention too but their minds aren't usually on comment counts. I will be the first to comment! Congrats on creating your blog!
