		<description>Aww.. Thank you! You are really too kind. When I obsess over a blogger, I DO THE SAME THING. I think I must\&#039;ve stalked almost everyone on my blogroll at one point in my life. 
 
I like pretty designs. I\&#039;m sorry if it kills people\&#039;s computers but if I have to work on a blog that is ugly, I\&#039;d sob in a corner. I like seeing pictures and colours and I hope other people feel the same way as well :) Which is why I TRY to think about my blog via people\&#039;s eyes, just to observe and criticize... although it depresses me sometimes. 
 
I am not a writer though. I\&#039;ve never wanted to be a writer, author, or anything to do with words. I really just seem myself as a girl with too many thoughts and a big mouth. </description>

		<description>I keep finding old posts of yours that I want to comment on, lol. I found GRS when he was already big and 6 months before he published his book, and I still read it because its still a good blog, yes he does blog about blogging once in a while but its not constant. 
 
Did you read this? Twitter made me hate you. 
  &lt;a href=&quot;http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2010/07/twitter_made_me_hate_you.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2010/07/twitter_made...&lt;/a&gt; 
 
This has to do mostly with design, but I hate it when creative looking blogs change to a more corporate design when they get more readers. Its really irritating. Sometimes its worth the upgrade sometimes it isn&#039;t, I loved it when Blonde and Balanced updated her blog, and I liked it when you upgraded yours.  
 
I don&#039;t find most bloggers interesting, most people aren&#039;t writers, and I only read a handful of blogs but only the good ones. Sometimes certain bloggers irritate me because they say &quot;Oh work from home, sell affiliated products, etc., write a  useful blog that teaches something.&quot; I don&#039;t want a blog that teaches anything, I&#039;m not a teacher. If people learn something useful that&#039;s a bonus but that&#039;s not why I write.  
 
But the thing is blogging and writing can&#039;t be all about the readers, you have to love it, and do it for yourself also otherwise you will lose interest. I also think passion is what keeps people going when no one else is around to subscribe to them. </description>

		<description>Wow, I feel so much better about my blog now.
Thanks for the reminder that people will read it because they want to, not because I took everyone&#039;s advice.  Now maybe I can go back to enjoying writing it.

		<description>Agreed. I can&#039;t STAND those posts and people keep writing them, rehashing the same old crap over and over!

I prefer smaller blogs. Why? because I find a lot of the bigger ones kind of impersonal and soulless, and sometimes a little preachy? I&#039;m not really out there for tips and advice, I just enjoy keeping up with people&#039;s lives and journeys. 

Someone said something about enjoying being a small blog because otherwise they&#039;d feel pressured and really accountable and I have to agree! I write for me first really, and I&#039;m still sort of working on what I really want my blog to be about, so I&#039;m not fussed about building some great empire here....not yet anyway :P

		<description>I&#039;m trying hard to remember this, for sure. I try to go and post genuine comments on posts I find interesting, whether the blogs are in the same genre I am or not. (I have a few that I follow and comment on that are and aren&#039;t.) But I do try to be genuine -- I hate the idea of &quot;link farming&quot; or whatever, dunno if it has a real name or something.

For me, I try to write on an uncommon perspective in the world. It&#039;s more for entertainment and for me to work on my writing than for stats and stuff. I try not to worry about it so much, but it would be nice to know that someone out there has something to say about what I wrote and such. (And that it&#039;s not just floating through cyberspace totally ignored.) I mean, I&#039;m not even on twitter anyways.... I swear I wouldn&#039;t have the time for it anyhow. x_x;

		<description>@Amanda No. :( I got rid of it. It was taking up too much of my time to constantly download the picture, upload it and link it. If only I could get it to go straight to the page from my brain.

But I&#039;ll do longer posts here instead ;)</description>
