Excuse me for butting in....


Sometimes when I'm reading blogs I'm never sure if it's polite or not to comment. Of course there are the few blogs of people I know well and that's just like having a conversation with them...but then there are the blogs you have picked up along the way and then I can feel like the lonely person at a party, eavesdropping on a group having a great chat and should I or shouldn't I push myself forward to join in?

Strangers can be friends we haven't met yet, so they say! And of course if you've written words that are published in a public domain then you obviously want readers and responses, right? So I have and the authors always seemed pleased that I have. But what about friends of my friends, would they feel I was muscling in on their friendships? Oh the moral dilemmas!!! Guess I'm making far too much of this eh?

So for me this space is often just a diary so I remember, sometimes it's more like a letter to a friend but always it hopes to welcome you when you pop in and say hello.

I love comments :-). I don't look at stats or anything so sometimes feel no one is reading at all! Which is fine, I blog only for me really but it is lovely to know others pop in from time to time!

Hi Michelle, thanks for saying hi. xx

I feel like this sometimes, too. I especially struggled with some home ed blogs when I first started out because they seemed so very personal and the people commenting were a tight-knit group. Also, some blogs get so many comments that it makes me wonder what the point is - will it just get lost among the sea of people speaking?

Yes that's it Hannah, but then sometimes I comment and they reply and visit my blog and comment and suddenly I've met a lovely blogger like you and we are now e-friends having a chat :) xx
