Comments on: Why I Subscribed To Your Blog

I couldn't agree with this post more. When I read a blog, I want to be drawn in by it's authenticity. I want to be able to relate to the blogger/writer and be able to empathize with them based solely on their words. After I read a blog, I want to feel the same emotion that the blogger is trying to convey with words. It's hard to find that today because it seems like everyone is blogging for comments and hits to their site. I can honestly care less. I blog to vent, to inspire, to express my thoughts and my feelings and if one happens to wander to my site and leave a comment, the gesture is appreciated but that is definitely not my purpose. .-= Carla´s last blog ..World AIDS Day – Get in the Know! =-.

Hey love the new layout! I agree with you wholeheartedly about the whole blogging thing. If you go to a blog and it feels like you've known this person for a long time you're bound to come back. I'm sorry if I'm such a bad blogger. I don't have anything interesting to say. Probably because I don't go anywhere. Well; except to see my pyschiatrist and doctor. But meh. I totally get what you're saying. .-= Jamie´s last blog ..I guess I thought wrong =-.

As far as subscribing to blogs, I don't really do that much. I usually just subscribe to designer blogs, the ones that offer resources. I never really though of subscribing to any other kind of personal type blog. Maybe I should! It would help me with keeping up with some of my online friends, which I have a bad habit of missing out on their new posts = .-= Alexa´s last blog ..Shyness =-.

Great post! For the most part, I look for consistency also. I love to subscribe to very well organized blogs. This may sound kind of weird but sometimes when I see that a person has not put much effort into the way their blog looks, I won’t even read it. I don’t even care if it’s just a simple template, is it neat? Those are the kinds of things that I look for. Sometimes sloppy blogs consist of sloppy blog posts with all types of errors and crap that I don’t have time to decipher. There are some people who update all day everyday about absolutely nothing important. “Hi everyone, I watered the plants today.” – end of post – *2 hrs later* “OMGZ! The cat peed on my slipper hahaha.” While some of this is funny and/or cute, there isn’t a reason to update that much about meaningless things.

I have noticed that as I’ve gotten older on the blogging scene, bloggers are coming in very young. There aren’t many people that I can relate to anymore.

I actually don't subscribe to any... No idea why I havn't used RSS feeds.. But the reason I go BACK to blogs is usually because no matter what the topic of the blog is it is well written. The person writes in a way that catches my attention. :) Writing style I guess you could say. Now I'm gonna go see about RSS feeds. lol. :) .-= Becca´s last blog ..Welcome to the World =-.

You’re a newly-wed! Don’t worry about being consistent with your blog, for now. 😛

Great post! I subscribe to a lot of feeds, too. Probably not 669, haha, but I do read a lot of blogs. I must say that I subscribe for most of these same reasons! .-= Caity´s last blog ..Nutrition and pizza. =-.
