I've been blogging for a year now. Amazing, I really can't believe I kept up with this for so long. It has a lot to do with the fact that I'm doing this on a computer. I love being able to see the pretty graphics and, especially, posting pictures. It's been fun. I started off at Diaryland.com and moved over here in December. I'm very glad I moved because I like this format a lot better. It's so much easier to work with.
One thing I'm disappointed with, however, is my lack of readers. I was hoping that I'd be able to make more 'friends' with this. So far, nothing. I get a few comments here and there, but for the most part...nothing. I get depressed when I go over to the other blogs I read and see thousands of comments on those. Then I make comments and get nothing in return. I'm lonely. I don't know how to get this "out there" so it gets more views... I want more views, dammit! I know it's not a popularity contest, but sometimes I feel like it is. Am I that boring?

it seems like there is less community here. No, you aren't boring. I actually read you more now! I have your rss feed in my bookmarks so i just check and see when you update. easy that way. It's only been a year. I didn't really start getting readership untill i had been writing about two years. don't worry. keep writing.
love, jj
JJ is right. It takes a while to build readership. I like the community over at d'land. Also it helps when you leave comments elsewhere with your blog address. That'll lead people back to where you write. I very rarely got any comments until about 2 years in. Don't give up. Its worth the wait! :-)
Oh and it also helps to create an online persona. I'm not that much like what I write. I'm very shy.
