I have enjoyed your blog and the comments. I am a blogger ‘wanna be’ and webmaster newbie so all of the ideas have been invaluable. This is my initial comment to a blog so I guess I am taking the plunge into the blogosphere. I have been reading everything I can find on how to get started setting up a blog… it’s quite confusing, and still have a lot to learn. Thanks for the advice.

I’ve only been blogging for almost a year now. My challenge is to post more than once a month on my blog because being very busy with work and other commitments. I also tend to be all over the place because I have a variety of interests – sewing, decoupaging, ATC’s, jewelry making, thrifting, swapping, etc. I have enjoyed swapping on Flickr and some personal swaps which I started by personally emailing someone whose work I admire and asking if they would like to do a personal swap.

I have gotten creative inspiration from blogs all over the world and have their blog links on my sidebar – a whole lotta them. Some don’t know that I’ve linked to theirs and some do. I have to start commenting more often on all of them and let them know I’ve linked to their blogs. Maybe some more bloggers will link back to mine.

Overall, I’ve met some fascinating and talented people online and have enjoyed the blogging scene very much. I’m still finding my niche and immensely enjoying the journey in the process of finding it.

On my own blog I reply to comments on the comment page because so many people have “no reply” set up making it impossible to contact them. Many of my most favorite blogs have been found by clicking on a link in someone else’s blog comments. I read other people’s comments and many times find answers to questions I might have.
I did a post about this recently and I think I confused a lot of people by my comparison to old-time calling cards. I wasn’t implying we should some how use calling cards again but just seeing blog comments as a sort of modern-day calling card. When we leave a comment, we want to get one in return. To me it doesn’t matter whether it is on the comments page or in a personal email but I do like to be acknowledged.
