I love the blog world. But Lord have mercy there a trillion blogs out there. Weeding through them is daunting thats for sure! I mean, I do it because I like it. No other reason. Its not even on my mind to make money. I don't need cash, I do it as an outlet, thats all. I couldn't even imagine trying to do it as a source of income, thats crazy!! Way to much competition out there!! Besides I would starve if thats why I was doing it!!!
So how many blogs do you read??
How long does it take you?
Do you comment on all of them?
Do you have that blog comment guilt that I suffer from?
Don't you think people should blog because they love it and are passionate about what they write for? Not for an income. I actually tend to stay away from those blogs that are filled with ads..kinda drives me nuts, totally turns me off. You can tell all they are doing is looking for a way to make a buck.
I say love what you do and do what you love. If you love to write than go for it..but don't do it to make a buck..it shows.

I love this! I have been wanting to blog about this same thing as well. I mean I check my stat counter. I know who is reading yet I get no comments! wah!
I totally understand how you feel. I love reading blogs, but sometimes I might be in a hurry and can't leave a comment or sometimes I just don't feel the need to or maybe just being lazy ha!
I read so many blogs though that I could never comment on each one. I comment on ones that leave an impression on me and occasionally privately email that person to say how awesome they are but that is about it.
How much time do I spend reading blogs? Too much. I really need to balance it out but when there is so much good writing out there how do you? But really I need to focus more at home and less on the screen.
Lastly, I agree with those blogs riddled with ads..I think you should do it out of love and really more like a digital scrapbook. That's how I look at it. I'm leaving behind something my kids can read one day and say, "oh she went through this too."
I'm loving your blog and loving reading your thoughts. so happy you are doing it.
xo,
