When I started my blog it was more for family and I think I still have that mentality even though it's grown. I really need my hands slapped :( <br />Thanks for helping realize how much I do owe to my readers. <br />It's kind of funny how true to life the commenting, networking and socializing blogging can be. I have friends that tell me I need to get out there and network and I don't. Yikes, think it's time I start in both worlds!! Thanks for the spark of motivation!<br />RitaRita Mireleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089055986066254776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-55447595197104306182011-06-04T03:33:08.184-04:002011-06-04T03:33:08.184-04:00What a great series.

It reminded me that I can ask for help when I need it instead of just trying to figure everything out by myself (much like real life). Your post encouraged me to ask another blogger something I had been wondering about.

So, I absolutely agree. <br /><br />I found that if I specifically look for others at link parties that have linked up with similar content to my blog, I would go to them and comment and invite them to visit - i.e., an organize space - and asked them if they wanted more inspiration to stop by and see more. <br /><br />I also agree that the "follow me back" is completely ridiculous because I am not in 8th grade and I will follow a blog if I think it's great - I have too many I'm already reading to try and read 100 more! I don't want someone to follow my blog unless they really think it's for them - there in turn giving me more loyal followers {not necessarily MORE followers}.<br /><br />Great job on your series and it will certainly be of great value to many! <br /><br />Becky B.<br />www.organizingmadefun.com<br />Organizing Made FunBecky@Organizing Made Funhttp://www.organizingmadefun.comnoreply@blogger.com
