I like to think there are 2 people reading my blog and that neither of them is genetically linked to me. I may, in fact, write posts you can't possibly comment on, just to keep my illusions of 2 readers seemingly real. What can I say, I'm shy. It occurs to me this may sound sarcastic, and usually I'm being sarcastic. This is not one of those times. .-= Jill´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DraftQueen/~3/mi--EWj78J8/skipping-class.html" rel="nofollow">Skipping Class</a> =-.

I think we are kindred spirits in some ways! I have a very small following, also, and seriously, sometimes I'll post something that I think isn't so great and get a fair number of commenters (and a "fair number" of commenters = a crazy awesome response). And then I'll write something that I just think is awesome and get nothing but the chirp of crickets! And um, not to be a skeeve, as you mentioned, but I'd love it if you would stop by my blog for a great giveaway of natural skincare products! http://stuffparentsneed.blogspot.com/2009/11/luxury-skincare-at-drugstore-prices.html I have maybe 11 entries so far (*sigh*) and I am at my wits end about how to get more people to enter. I promise that the products she makes are really nice! :-) One more thing, I especially liked what you said about no longer commenting once you are a seriously popular blogger!

She only writes about her dogs & cows. Ok, she can cook, but how does that help me? She can't MAIL me the food (I refuse to buy any more cookbooks that I will never use). And Dooce? I've never read her blog, I'd rather read yours & a few others instead. You Rule! :) PW is no big whoop. She only writes about her dogs & cows. Ok, she can cook, but how does that help me?

Even if you care about the numbers, people prefer when it seems like you're writing just for yourself, and for the sake of the content. Well, I prefer that. To not be a total hypocrite I'm not even linking this comment to my blog! lol go me.
