Anyone Out There?

Is anyone out there in blogworld reading my blogs? Every now and then, once in a blue moon…I get a comment from Anonymous, but in general, I am not hearing from folks. I started thinking about the saying, “If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” So I was wondering, “If a blogger writes a blog and no one ever comments on it, does it strike a nerve?” Or “If a blogger writes a blog and talks about totally absurd stuff, does anyone want to comment or even care?” Probably the latter!

Maybe my blogs are too long and too…blah, blah, blah. I have a friend who told me that reading my blog was a lot of work. He may have a point. I know this person moves his lips when he reads…making him tired and thirsty.

So I was thinking… How can I spice up my blog and get a reaction out of readers? Well, I can’t talk about nasty stuff…this is not a porn site. (For those porn readers who were expecting XXX…you might want to keep moving.)

Hmm...Maybe I could throw in a couple of symbols now and then to make it interesting. You remember, like the picture stories in the Weekly Reader magazine. (I’m dating myself here. Wait, that is just an expression…I’m really married.)

So instead of calling someone an ass… I could just show one (_!_) . And if someone is a total smartass (_E=mc2_). Instead of saying, “just kidding”, I could use a wink symbol ;-) and when I wanted to send a shout-out to my peeps...I could use :-0

I welcome all comments and opinions. I won’t even mind if you write and tell me, “Kat you’re an (_!_) and you’re full of it.” I just want to know that you are out there. I hope to hear from all of you...even the (_E=mc2_) and the reading impaired. ;-)

Signing off…….. =^.^=OUT

Hey Kat,

Fear not, your blogs are being read. I look for your newest post every single day of my life! I enjoy it so much that I even started one of my own -- all because of you. You were my inpiration. I never know if anyone reads mine either, but I love blogging for one reason only, BECAUSE I CAN! Just 'cuz!!!

Hey, what's with the whining? Huh? NO WHINING!!! Don't you get it? Do you think its easy out here? Do you really think that someone like me, and you know me, is willing to spend valuable time reading the blog of some goody-two shoes milkmaid from Vermont? Well do ya? Get real.
And all I get for actually being one of the only people in the entire world to respond once in a while is the "once in a blue moon" comment? You've got some nerve, girl. In fact, if you were here right now I'd kick your (_!_) But tomorrow, I'd still check out your blog. Later...
