I feel like an explanation is in order

I’ve been thinking about (and feeling guilty about) the fact I follow so many blogs, but rarely comment on anyone’s blog posts anymore.

It makes me feel bad too, because I don’t want any of you to think I don’t care about what you write or am not reading your posts. I am (when I can).

When I first started blogging, I used to read a lot of other blogs and comment a lot on other people’s posts, but due to the sheer volume of comments I have been receiving lately (and still having to work for a living, run a household, take care of pets, maintain this blog, sort through spam, write new posts, etc.), I simply cannot find the time to comment as much as I’d like to, because I’m so busy replying to mine.

I try to read other blogs when I can, but to read everything I want to read and comment on posts too, I would not be able to get any sleep! When I do read, I may “like” your post, but will probably not comment, because there just isn’t any time anymore. I’ve received so much inspiration from so many of you, even when I don’t Like or comment on a post of yours.

This is the problem I dreamed of having when I started this blog in September. Please keep the comments coming! 🙂

  2. Don’t forget that there are only 24 hours in a day. You aren’t Wonder Woman and nobody expects you to be her! I love reading what you write and don’t ever feel like you have to comment back. WordPress is a stress free zone, that’s why were all here. 😉

  3. I think like everyone else, I would love my blog follower numbers to explode. Thankfully it hasn’t and commenting/replying doesn’t take up my entire day.

    Speaking personally, I would love for everyone that I am active with to also comment on my blog but I realize that we all have lives. Additionally we also blog for specific reasons and quite honestly I may not have been posting anything that had peaked their interest.

    It’s all good!

    • I think you have a very good blog, Vic and I wish I could comment more. I do read your articles sometimes.
      Your blog may explode one day. If you want that to happen, linking your posts to social media helps a whole lot–I was afraid to do it at first, now it’s second nature. (I don’t link everything, though)

      • I accept the fact that my blog will probably be smaller because I choose to have no social media presence (WordPress and LinkedIn and that is it).

        My last two big bumps in followers occurred because of guest posting on OM’s blog.

        • Oh yes, OM will definitely help with your visibility! I just love it when he reblogs something of mine.

          Now I’m just waiting for that incredible day when I get Freshly Pressed — IF that ever happens!

          • I think my blog is typically too specific (mainly mental health), nor do I usually part about hot/trending topics.

            Meh. I am happy with those that follow & post!

            • My blog is mostly mental health too, and pretty specific at that (mainly NPD, BPD and Aspergers), but I do blog about a lot of other stuff too, so some of my readers are here for other reasons.
