Hi Robin – that’s true. I think a lot of folk are feeling the pressure and really thinking about how they’re using their time.

Hi Jeremy

Rita had a really good point with that post. If folk are ust commenting for the sake of it, it’s a waste of time.

Like you, I would prefer people actually reading my stuff than commenting without reading.

Hi Cath,

I agree. I LOVE reading as many blogs as I can, but like Rita said over at Writer Dad, commenting can just be ridiculous when it has no worth and it feels like high school.
Yes, Ive been following this conversation thread around the blogosphere. Personally, I would rather have my blog just read rather than commented on if people didnt have anything worth commenting. Sure the kudos are great, but like you said, it cant be all about reading and no doing. Thank you so much for this post.

Cheers,
Jeremy

Hi Cath – it’s interesting how so many bloggers in my circle are writing about how to manage their time on the computer, lately. As if we are all finding things are becoming overwhelming – I know I am.

My approach to changing things at the moment is to become physically fitter – getting out more for walks and so on, and by being more self-disciplined about what I am doing. (if I’ve just written a comment I don’t need to re-read it 3 times)

Hi John – I tried to create a profile but it still ust gave me a number. As you say, they’d be doing themselves a huge favour if they fixed it.

Hi Barbara – It’s difficult to get it all done isn’t it? I must admit, I read more on Twitter than I actually speak. It’s interesting to watch the different interactions.

Hi Catherine - I'm agree with Joanna. There's so much good stuff out there, I want to read it all. That is one reason I haven't joined Twitter. I don't need another distraction. Barbara Swafford's last blog post..A.S.K. Darren Rowse of Problogger - When Do We Know Our Blog Is A ?Winner?

Hi Cath. You know what that is (the members with numbers names), it’s a name their blog assigns you if you haven’t created a profile name.

You have to sign in to leave a comment on their blog. When you create an account, you can create your profile name which will be shown.

It’s a screwy system which I’ve told Brett should be updated for easier chat among blog readers. I guess they really want you to get involved in their site.

Hi John – that’s true – few of the articles are marked with Trump’s name. I like reading the blog, but they treat the commenters a bit impersonally. Did you ever notice they all have numbers instead of names? A lot of them seem to be members of the Trump University.

Hi Kathy – you do have some really big bugs over there. And you have those huge ant eaters. I’m rubbish at golf anyway, but they put me off even more, as I was scared I’d hit them with the ball.

Thanks for the compliments on the titles. I’ve had to tone them down a bit, cos I wasn’t optimizing them so well. I was on the front page of Google for ages for “sex on a plane”, which attracted a lot of irrelevant searches – luckily I’m off it now.

Hi Valerie – that seems like a smart way to do it. I love your new avatar by the way. I remember you using that pic in a post recently.

Hi Davina – Good for you. You seem to be getting really organised since you started Kathy’s course. I keep thinking of things you could do with doing but I know you’re dead busy already.

That’s a good way of working it out. Especially when you realise how little sleep you’ll have left if you do all those things – it helps you prioritize. I used to sleep 4 hours a night. Had read Margaret Thatcher did it – so thought it would be ok. But, now she’s losing her marbles, I have to wonder how much good it did her.
