The only thing I can suggest is that you...Hi Grace. The only thing I can suggest is that you shouldn't concern yourself too much with comments and remember the whole reason you're doing this. Read over your first post again. I don't recall anything like "... and it'd be nice if my time spent doing this can be validated by the opinions of others". <br /><br />Blogging can be draining. I thought you were mad for attempting to post as often as you're doing, but I commend you for sticking at it. <br /><br />My personal blog has been going for 10 years now (as of two weeks ago) and in 226 posts I think I've had a grand total of 180 comments.<br /><br />I think I read a statistic somewhere recently that something like 80% of internet users are mostly passive consumers of web content. (That figure could be a little out. I also read somewhere that 17.65% of all statistics are made up. :-) That means they read the blog post, watch the YouTube vid, follow people on Twitter, and move on without contributing. Only a small percentage of people ever feel motivated to post their thoughts on the web. This doesn't mean they don't care, or don't understand.<br /><br />For me, blogging is for ME. If anyone else wants to have a read, good on them. If someone wants to put in their two cents, even better. But the value I get from sharing something cool I've found with the world, putting my thoughts into my own personal time capsule, reading through those posts years later, or just getting something off my chest, far outweighs any warm-fuzzy ego-stroke I get from other people's comments. <br /><br />Occasionally I check my website stats. I can see that people read my blogs. Some people I know, a lot of people I don't (who mostly stumble onto my site Googling for some weird shit). But the point is that even if they didn't, it really doesn't matter. <br /><br />If the purpose of your blog is to build up a personal brand for business purposes, sure that's a different story. But if it's for theraputic, navel-gazing or some other self-centric goal, the only real important stakeholder is you. Otherwise you're throwing your efforts on the mercy of the interwebs, and she is not a kind mistress. :)Mikey McCorryhttp://madwebskills.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-686293812613944742.post-8828292905133142402010-04-08T05:13:22.836-07:002010-04-08T05:13:22.836-07:00Still here Grace- and in dire need of W Power!

In response to todays blog- sometimes we need to read a few days worth and then a series of connections seem to happen and propel me to comment.

And you're right...Phew - not insane after all!<br /><br />And you're right... this project really did start out for me. It's journal of where I am in my life right now, which some day may make me laugh or cringe (or both).<br /><br />I guess I too got 'addicted' to comments... and when they're not there, I go hungry!<br /><br />Grace xx<br /><br />ps.

People are reading your postings whether they leave a mark or not, I'm sure! Your message gets out there. Don't despair Grace (and Teammcslade)!

No comment seems like no result.<br />Yet, I do remind myself that it's a journal for us that is shared with others, what they choose to do with it is their perogative. If someone gets a laugh, remembers a similar time or lives vicariously through us. Great.<br />If no-one reads it, at least you have got a recorded memory of what you did at a certian point in your own life.<br />Blog on...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
