But I was delighted that you were moved to leave behind a response, thank you. And please, always feel free to comment but also to lurk, as you deem fit. Now that I know the vast majority of visitors don't feel the need to comment, my cybersolitude feels less absolute than before. <BR/><BR/>Nice to know you're out there, though.............Meadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02157076523366054503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166420489614987889.post-28127024250680768182007-12-22T12:41:00.000-08:002007-12-22T12:41:00.000-08:00Hey now!

I see I'm the least interesting person to ever leave a comment. Boo hoo. Sniff, sniff.

It was good you mentioned that. Reading blogs is one way I "connect" with people, being sort of housebound. I liked the idea that nothing was expected of me....gimme, gimme... but now I will again settle back into my own style of mainly just reading without feeling any guilt. I check your site at least twice a day.

Really, when you think about it, common sense advice; if you want comments, find ways to invite them.<BR/><BR/>I don't much care about commentary on <A HREF="http://trishandharold.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">my blog</A>, largely because its function is more of an announcement board. If people want to communicate with me I prefer that they do it privately through the email link on the blog or via my <A HREF="http://www.myspace.com/haroldphillips" REL="nofollow">MySpace Page</A>... but that's my own personal preference.<BR/><BR/>(another good way to get comments? Add hypertext links in the body of your post to areas where people can talk back to you :) You don't have to be a web design wizard to do this; just add a little bit of code to your text - <A HREF="http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp" REL="nofollow">http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp</A>. It's more convenient for your readers, too; they can go directly to the place you want them to go!)<BR/><BR/>But generally, I'm more a lurker by nature, so I never mind if I don't hear from anyone. I can relate :)Harold Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10374720941804972313noreply@blogger.com
