First of all, when I first started I had NO COMMENTS. None! Once in awhile I would have a couple. That is because I didn't have a clue about other blogs, I was just discovering this whole new world. And, I wasn't out TRYING to get comments. But what I can tell you is comments or no, it is OK! The advice I got from one of the top bloggers when I started was the following:<BR/><BR/>Write for yourself<BR/><BR/>Let people discover you<BR/><BR/>Link where you want to but never ask for a link exchange. <BR/><BR/>How about that! So, I just started writing things I was interested in. Even if no one commented. Then I started visiting other blogs, but I didn't do any many strategy to bring in or coerce more commenters when I was just getting myself established. <BR/><BR/>I let people discover me. That keeps it real. It might take more time that way, but in the end I think people respect that and will come to you because they like your content and relate to you as a person. And that is really what you want.<BR/> <BR/>You already are a step ahead, because you have been a faithful commenter. People will already know about you from your visits, so that is great! Just remember, the point is to write for yourself and eventually others of like mind will be drawn to you.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations again!<BR/><BR/>I look forward to getting to know more about you!<BR/><BR/>MelissaMelissa @ The Inspired Roomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711494549892860307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990440235705634705.post-66173913646379960712007-10-30T11:11:00.000-04:002007-10-30T11:11:00.000-04:00Congratulations, Janet!We'll be having a "Hundredt...Congratulations, Janet!<BR/><BR/>We'll be having a "Hundredth Post Party" at Housepeepers before you know it!Barb McMahon and Alan Maillouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05395936716793077391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990440235705634705.post-78429610054277262782007-10-29T22:08:00.000-04:002007-10-29T22:08:00.000-04:00Janet?

I can't believe you didn't come tell me you started your own blog. <BR/><BR/>I just saw your name somewhere on a comment and thought to myself again, too bad she doesn't have her own blog so I could visit her. But then, I realized I could click on your name. Strange! Even stranger, you had a blogger profile! And strangest yet, A BLOG! HOORAY! And, you are being a BFF by inviting people to the big shin dig this Friday! <BR/><BR/>Now I am a happy camper.<BR/><BR/>You get bonus points for that.<BR/><BR/>Welcome to blogging, well, to us being able to visit you too! Be sure to tell people about this new blog when you leave your comments so they will know to visit!<BR/><BR/>I am happy to have stumbled here!<BR/><BR/>xo,<BR/>melissaMelissa @ The Inspired Roomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711494549892860307noreply@blogger.com
