I'm definitely learning {and kinda scared to comment now, b4 I reach your post about spam..} <br />I really hate spam! I'm spending so much time deleting and I still need to find a good spam filter {hopefully I will soon!!!} <br /><br />I have been following a bunch of blogs I love, but never commented for multiple reasons, but now that I have a blog I really don't want to comment bcuz I'm scared that people might find my blog that way and I feel as though I don't have enough content or enough "after" shots, or enough totturial in my niche... I blog about organizing at the moment bcuz that is what I'm working on myself right now. Hopefully in time I'll have content in other niches that interest me but for now I have very few posts on organizing... <br />Even thorough I'm scared, I still wanted to take the time to comment cuz you have done a great job! And a HUGE favor to me personally, as I'm a newbie! <br /><br />I L.O.V.E your blog resources!! They are so helpful!

I haven't had many comments on my blog as of yet - other than spam (one was even a Nigerian Bank scam)- but it keeps me laughing!<br /><br />I have book-marked this post, and I will be returning to it to keep it fresh in my mind for when I do get to start interacting with readers.

I am newish to blogging, and didn't realize the power of a comment until I realized how awesome it was to get comments - and even as simple as "cute" went a long way. I am getting better at getting out there. Sometimes I find myself reluctant to leaving a comment when there are 100's of comments - I feel as though it isn't needed, or what I have to say isn't important enough. Or the blogger can't be bothered. Trying to get over that too.<br /><br />Just found your blog - I'm your newest follower - can't wait to read more!Creative Escapeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506693926537675877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-82258870160382052662011-03-30T11:16:30.112-04:002011-03-30T11:16:30.112-04:00Just found this series...

And I really dislike it when I find a blog I love(& feel I have things in common with) and comment over and over again only to feel as though they could care less if they never respond to a comment.

It has been exciting, but more challenging than I had imagined. I feel lost.<br /><br />I definitely am going to keep reading this series, because commenting is something I am trying to do as much as I can daily. Currently my goal is 10 blogs a day to comment on.<br /><br />I do find that I can't comment on something that I have zero emtion about, like the NCAA basketball tournament, because I feel my comments have to be genuine.<br /><br />I look forward to reading your future posts on this topic!The Mommy Therapyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11497632312075770712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-64857416712384086542011-03-11T09:16:58.638-05:002011-03-11T09:16:58.638-05:00I definitely think I comment more than I don't...I definitely think I comment more than I don't comment.
