(That wasn't a very elegant sentence.) I'm not really put off by the WV, but it is a bit tedious. I don't have it and have never had any spam or nasty comments. But then I get fewer comments than I used to, despite getting far more readers, so my non-WV blog isn't encouraging them! (On the other hand, I'm posting more frequently so no one could be bothered commenting on mine every time.)<br /><br />Anyway - I love your blog. I love your family and your life, as portrayed in the blog.Pam https://www.blogger.com/profile/12641269043817163165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-6601116813019482102012-01-13T01:23:55.272+11:002012-01-13T01:23:55.272+11:00shameless begging will nearly always get a comment...shameless begging will nearly always get a comment from me too, especially as I have drawn a line under my blog (it seems)<br /><br />The immediacy of FB is just too easy for a time-poor midwife<br /><br />Love your work- but you knew that :)Laura Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299523378009842115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-42976723392942204552012-01-12T14:48:04.281+11:002012-01-12T14:48:04.281+11:00A happy new year to you, Stomp.

Reading and writing blogs filled an important need for connection to like-minded people and a creative outlet for my thoughts. <br /><br />I think as the kids get older and have more activities, we are home less and less and when we ARE home, we have more obligations to fulfill and sometimes I have a blog post running around in my head that never gets written.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673930610844503371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-88761752444211263192012-01-06T16:58:28.533+11:002012-01-06T16:58:28.533+11:00Nothing witty or thoughtful from me, but you know ...Nothing witty or thoughtful from me, but you know you and your purple kitty are often in my thoughts.(as are the boys and dishy husband)but its mostly you , and the cat !Jodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924653077212971448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-12872364105740870392012-01-05T22:49:35.909+11:002012-01-05T22:49:35.909+11:00Have a lovely (& cool) 2012!

This is because I've met you and think you're wonderful and I really enjoy reading your posts. There's an element of familiarity. I now have a facebook page but, I dunno, I think you have to visit very often to get what Facebook offers. The older offspring have the internet phones and they check and comment all the time (and pay their own phone bills!)<br />I'm not opposed to any of it. The internet has enriched my life via blogging, sourcing of (not available in Bairnsdale)all sorts of things, mostly books, some sewing stuff.<br />Oh dear, I seem to be making some sort of blog post in your comment box.<br />May the new year be bounteous for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-47022405875194567852012-01-05T17:33:04.414+11:002012-01-05T17:33:04.414+11:00Hi Stomper, I'm still lurking and enjoy readin...Hi Stomper, I'm still lurking and enjoy reading your blog regularly.

I see people argue that the few extra things to fill out aren't really that much, but if you read multiple blogs, then that's a lot of separate accounts/verifications/otherwise irritating hurdles. I find myself commenting, if I comment at all, on twitter or occasionally facebook, because there's no hoop-jumping.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-48425297617086701082012-01-05T09:09:39.827+11:002012-01-05T09:09:39.827+11:00Ah, 'tis always a pleasure to drop by your com...Ah, 'tis always a pleasure to drop by your comment box.

It quite fascinates me those who say they have no time for trad. blogging ( not you darl!), yet appear to spend hours and hours on FB and twitter, commenting, chatting etc. whereas blogging doesn't take me long at all... then I check back in a couple of time to moderate comments. <br />My blog is a diary. I like referring back to it for my own interest. I'm so happy to hear from readers but realise not everyone wants to comment. Too shy, too busy whatever. I think it's great there is so much social media for people to dip in and out of... people should do what suits them, but I don't think FB/twitter/blogging are particularly comparable.librarygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08417889399020548301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-74126605015208846482012-01-04T16:08:29.579+11:002012-01-04T16:08:29.579+11:00It's so true!

After putting...Happy New Year Stomper and family! <br /><br />After putting my cogitations out there...and having such a "NO! DON'T STOP" response...I'll probably continue blog-plodding away. And of course, I'll continue leaving my comments here. <br /><br />Mary's comment about WV is interesting. And I know that if I read blogs using Flipboard on the iPad, it seems a huge effort to click through to comment. (It isn't really, but you become so lazy.)<br /><br />I'm not sure if this comment is considered witty or thoughtful. Perhaps just put it in the otherwise box!Fairlie - www.feetonforeignlands.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00145612102935177016noreply@blogger.com
