I have two people who follow my blog privately, and it's a real mystery to me. I call them my super-secret blog-stalkers. I'm hoping that they're agents or editors or super-shy writers, but that's mostly because I can't face the idea that they're creepy stalker-ish types.Ishta Mercuriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776946702988283453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345890055658252124.post-17800728900246496742011-09-15T09:54:19.068-04:002011-09-15T09:54:19.068-04:00Hi there,

I can honestly only visit around 15 to 20 blogs a week. Of those, I often miss a post or two (*ahem* or three). Before I can get back. I think you should post about how you can follow so many, and comment on so many... I've always been a quality over quantity kind of guy anyway, but the sheer number some people visit is hard to believe... seriously. I just can't do it.Rusty Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887821877521181811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345890055658252124.post-84063271078215634592011-09-14T21:14:11.526-04:002011-09-14T21:14:11.526-04:00I think Blogfest is the most effective.

I have no need of networking and such. I live for the conversation after the post. We can't have an "intimate" conversation after 80 comments! More so, I feel like anything insteresting I might have said has been said five different ways already. I follow too many blogs. I cut out the ones that don't communicate, I don't care how good they are. It's why I'm in it. I can read good literature from my library if it was only about that. But I still read way too many and have far too much guilt over the time I don't have to properly follow them all. Ack ack ack. I feel like I'm on a soap box. Okay...gonna check out your other blog and as a reward for all that effort, up your number by one more :)Wine and Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778785233226804217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345890055658252124.post-7063973296517899382011-09-14T17:59:35.697-04:002011-09-14T17:59:35.697-04:00Way to go Matthew!

My blog partner is better than I am at blog hopping lately. Life got in the way for me. I'm remedying that this week and hoping to make up for lost time. I think having lots of followers is great, but only if I'm also seeing that many more comments. I'd like to know that our content is pleasing/intriguing/inspiring/informational and that's what will not only get us a follower, but a frequent visitor! That said, I'd love to reach 500 followers. Guess I'd better hop around now.

Sort of. If someone I follow has a commenter that I find interesting, I will often go check that blog. Not necessarily in the interest of gaining a new follower, but because I like what the blogger says. I should go on, but I'm in the middle of moving and shouldn't be on any blogs, right now.
