Hope you don’t mind (you said I could) – I’ve borrowed your Link Love Graphic and will be doing some upgrades to my side bar in the coming days.

This is a fabulous idea and Thomma Lyn featured me as one of her link love blogs awhile back and I’ve been too busy with work and life to participate.

Reading this post just reinforced for me how important it is to spread the love around!

Have a great week, XINE

Absolutely borrow it, and send out all kinds of love into the blogosphere.~skt

Wow – Rosemarie reads all the comments before commenting?! I rarely do that. If I’ve connected with a post, I comment. If there are more than a few comments, I almost never read them all. I feel that the comments aren’t directed at me so I usually don’t read them.

Sorry for the sidetrack there… I was originally writing to say that I am surprised that people don’t go back and read archives. It makes me wonder. When I’m getting to know another blog that I want to follow, I always go read it all to get up to speed. Afterall, I don’t want to miss out on any inside jokes that are referenced later or ask a dumb question that has already been answered. This thought makes me think I need to go rewrite my “about me” page so people get why I’m blogging about my photographs and the technical details behind the pictures of a ceiling fan…

As always, thanks for making me think about something and see another side!

You should always read the comments! It’s sometimes like a little conversation going on, and you are always welcome to join. Yes, update your “about me” page. I went there first to see if I wanted to read more, but was thankfully intrigued enough to read anyway. You have a wonderful blog beginning over there.~skt

I agree blog edict is not common practice. I always read profiles before I comment. It’s like an introduction of sorts. The TT’s and WW are a bit fun, but certainly time consuming. Moreover, what really ticks me off are those who just say something general, which leaves me questioning. Did they really read the whole list? I wonder how many like me read all or most of the comments before posting their own comment.

For me, I’ll continue to Shout Out. The likely hood is that you’ll be on my next post.

Yeah, it would be nice if people were really reading instead of just trying to get links. The beauty of it, is that you can delete comments that are obviously doing that. I appreciate your visit, and your link love. I like your new cooking blog, too!~skt

Hey Marcia,
I appreciate you looking into archives. If a page disappears, it’s because I’m trying to narrow down my categories right now! Since I’ve switched from Blogger, I haven’t figured out how to add my Link Love logo, but it will be part of the design when I get the template re-done in the next week or so. If you are using Blogger, e-mail me, and I can send you a copy of the widget I used.
Thanks for stopping by!

Archives are marvelous things, there is usually something interesting to be found! I rarely read only the meme post, but don’t always comment.

Some days it all gets out of control, this blogging thing, too many posts to make, too many great posts to read. I have not added link love YET, it’s coming, but have linked in a post on occasion.

I’m scattered — and still learning the ropes, frustrated that I still can’t figure out how to put a link into a .png on the sidebar if they don’t already have the code included. (So, instructions for link love would be appreciated, but I suppose I should browse more here, in case you’ve already posted them, since I was skipping around on your blog today.) Sign me:

Overwhelmed and loving every minute except the fore mentioned.
