I'm in my thirties, and I've (mostly) given up on my dream to one day be cool, but it still rears its head.<br /><br />One thing I find I do is everything in spurts: a lot of reading and commenting one day, then nothing for a week or more. I must seem totally bizarre, popping up and commenting on ten posts, then dashing away for a month. Oh, well. So maybe you'll get a drove of commenters in force one day when you least expect it. :)Lauren Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500733577920040395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432240900444115611.post-30931019470865888172009-10-06T20:46:56.107-07:002009-10-06T20:46:56.107-07:00You are off to a beautiful start here...I am sorry...You are off to a beautiful start here...I am sorry for your loss last month, I have experienced that also, and I hope you are finding the space and time you need to grieve and process in your own way...<br />I second and third what everyone has said here re: blogging! I also went months without getting any comments, now it varies a lot. I only post once a week or so, so get more comments per post, but that is just the rhythm that feels natural to me. Personally, my biggest lesson was learning to ignore all the professional blogging advice out there, which I think of as the 'cool bloggers' you are talking about. If you want to make blogging your profession perhaps they are relevant, I don't know, but if you are just looking to connect, and learn, and share, then I think just follow your heart to the blogs it leads you to...I have several blogs I just have to read (like Holistic Mama and Mama-Om above) because I resonate with them, and they inspire me to be a better parent, and others that are more like new-idea food for me. This is just the mix that works for me. I think blogging is very personal. It has totally transformed my life in a way I never expected. Good luck with it.<br />Namaste-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432240900444115611.post-70611596490688612292009-10-04T08:06:20.899-07:002009-10-04T08:06:20.899-07:00Hello -- and welcome!

But what does that mean?<br /><br />I get an average of 10 comments a post (compared to some bloggers getting 20+), but they are usually wonderful comments by wonderful bloggers. They inspire me in turn. Quality over quantity.<br /><br />Be yourself, visit those that you feel a kinship with, and the connections form organically.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11863793441609598153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432240900444115611.post-11367663637647881082009-10-03T20:29:00.112-07:002009-10-03T20:29:00.112-07:00I am so glad you stopped by my blog!

I still don't get a lot of comments, but the few I get are precious to me. Bloggers who leave me regular comments are like friends to me, and I like to connect with them on their blogs, too. Then there are a few blogs I love to read and leave comments like crazy, but only get an occasional one back. But that's okay. We all can offer and take on our own levels. I've decided I could never keep up with return comments if I got like 10 comments per post, anyway. And yes, it is a wonderful community--it's been extremely helpful to me, I don't feel alone like I used to. <br /><br />Hope to see you again, and looking forward to the development of your blog!Lisa Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00110779167509779880noreply@blogger.com
