I'm not a regular reader but have been visiting your site lately for the BotB.<BR/><BR/>I agree with your #1 about leaving 'quality' comments on other sites.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure about #4. I like variety. I like blogs with humour and some photos and some memes and some personal writing. Some that are just all humour or all personal like 'what I did today' can get tiresome. I try to do variety on mine because that's what I like in other blogs. <BR/><BR/>I've been thinking about starting a silly contest for fun and to try to promote some of the fun blogs I like and to find more, but then I saw your battle of the blogs so I thought I would wait a little. Hopefully soon after if my schedule permits.<BR/><BR/>#8 - I agree with very much as a reader who loves to read as many blogs as I can and feels guilty when I cannot. Usually long posters are the first I leave if I need to trim my blogroll, which as a Type A personality I do with great resistance! lolIrish Church Lady :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15797813923868678811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-52649415735555656112007-03-02T17:17:00.000-05:002007-03-02T17:17:00.000-05:00I am almost tempted to put "nice blog", but feel p...I am almost tempted to put "nice blog", but feel prompted to comment because I have spent some time reading here and am learning things, being relatively new to the world of blogging. I wonder how it will develop, this new medium that may already be passe before its prime. There are so many possibilities for better or worse. I appreciate your energy and enthusiasm.Reading the Signshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338983880105866139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-27007747920780557892007-03-02T10:00:00.000-05:002007-03-02T10:00:00.000-05:00Well that's how you know people scan blogs.

But, remember when Mike wrote a blog and said that he was going to Vegas for the week - then at the very end, he said it was a dream he had the night before? People kept commenting saying, "Have a great trip!" Mike kept saying, "They just didn't get it!" And we were laughing! But sometimes, I'll take a piece that's written in one paragraph by someone else and comment on it, because it pertains to a strong opinion I have on it. <BR/><BR/>Depends. <BR/><BR/><BR/>:)Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986475569600734742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-41693583499363597132007-03-02T07:46:00.000-05:002007-03-02T07:46:00.000-05:00ryan: the only complaint I have with Battle of the...ryan: the only complaint I have with Battle of the Blogs is that it takes time away from my job.

Pat was making her readers aware of your contest and soliciting support. Of course I voted for her, but in the process I read some of your other posts.<BR/><BR/>I like your style. It's unapologetic and genuine. The added bonus of using complete sentences, punctuation (including, but not limited to capitalization) and the all too uncommon smooth transition from one idea to the next is a nice touch. I'm not into these fancy-pance blog designs either. Except for my banner, mine are (all five of them!) straight out of the box - courtesy of Blogger <I>not Beta</I>.<BR/><BR/>I woke up (unintentionally) at 3 a.m., checked my email and saw a comment from Pat on my blog. Following a link from there to here, I have a decision to make. Make coffee and read or go back to bed. Unfortunately, I have a long day ahead of me, I need the sleep - but I've bookmarked you. As our famous governor would say, "I'll be BACH" (you can be Beethoven). <BR/><BR/>Mike <BR/><A HREF="http://25yearplan.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">The 25 Year Plan</A>Michael K.

The reason I mentioned shorter posts is that, on occasion, someone will make a comment, and by the comment, I could tell they read to paragraph 2, found something to comment on, and fired away. And the comment really did not have to do with the post, because I refuted it later.Leesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552562808209927463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-59094257670785969012007-03-01T10:55:00.001-05:002007-03-01T10:55:00.001-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986475569600734742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-26444687579751247652007-03-01T10:55:00.000-05:002007-03-01T10:55:00.000-05:00It’s interesting how people are drawn to certain b...It’s interesting how people are drawn to certain blogs for different reasons. I know that the whole ‘long post’ deal is a bit much for some, but if the writer is really good (like yourself) then it’s worth the read. I like thought provoking posts – I like it when they get a bit sidetracked with a funny thought. It’s like freestyle writing. This is why I love your posts so much. As you know, I hate competitions and I am actually confused on how the battle of the blogs works. Call me an idiot, but I don’t get the whole left wing, right wing, east coast, west coast – you get my drift. I can’t even refer to it correctly Leesa! (ha) <BR/><BR/>But in any event, they also say to write ‘timeless’ pieces – meaning that anyone can read it anytime and apply it to their daily lives. For instance, current events sometimes gets drab for some – and if they trek through archives, which I do as a reader, then it doesn’t apply to ‘now’. <BR/><BR/>I never heard of link exchanging, I mean, through bloggers. I had one site, (a sex toy store) ask me to link them. (ba ha ha ha) The radical Christian bible thumpers would love to see that on my site! I had to kindly turn them down. But, it would have given me plenty of traffic probably. <BR/><BR/>Another great thing is to be apart of a site that encourages others to share their blogs – like Blog Explosions. It’s a site where they have message boards, they help you with things you’re not familiar with and you can browse other blogs of interest. <BR/><BR/>Sorry for the long comment. Oh, and by the way, “GREAT POST!” (haha) <BR/><BR/>P.S. I had a commenter not too long ago, who is an avid ‘visitor’ ----not reader obviously, who commented on a photo of a post I did without reading it entirely. The photo contradicted the post. So you know she didn’t read any of it at all. I had to laugh!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986475569600734742noreply@blogger.com
