					<description><![CDATA[You sure do have a way of kicking people into action don&#039;t ya! I do list blogs that I don&#039;t have time to read as much as I like but I list them as references for others who may be able to learn some things or be entertained. I don&#039;t know that I&#039;ve not been given the time of day on a blog... I&#039;ll have to think about that because my circle is small and everyone I connect with seems to connect back in some way, shape or form. Maybe I&#039;m lucky? Maybe I&#039;m popular like that? ;-D]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I agree! I have quit blogging now, but I was really blogging connect with other writers. I know people read my blog, but there was never any interaction even when I asked my readers questions. After a while, it wasn&#039;t worth it to me anymore. Now I just read blogs and rarely comment b/c I suppose I got a little bitter that no one wanted to talk to me. It sounds silly, but if you enjoy a blog enough to read it, comment now and then. Let the writer know they made an impact. If nothing else, say hello! I felt very lonely as a blogger, honestly. I&#039;m sure I was not alone. So, hello Lori! Thanks for blogging, I always enjoy your posts :)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Glad to see you all here! Kirk, welcome. Been waiting for you. I enjoy thoroughly your very sensible view of politics - refreshing!&lt;BR/&gt;(Please visit his blog, folks. We&#039;ve been chums for years and he&#039;s a good soul - http://kirkpete.blogspot.com)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Susan, I&#039;m betting it&#039;s the same one. I&#039;ll be over to look in a minute.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Jen, you&#039;re fine. :)) I&#039;m not advocating anyone spending every single day commenting - you just can&#039;t. But show up once or twice every so often, or interact with those who visit. You, Jen, already do this. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Why is it the guilty never see themselves in print while the innocent always worry it&#039;s them? :))]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Lori, I have to admit that some of the blogs on my blogroll were courtesy adds, but after reading your post I felt empowered to trim some of the excess. In fact, when I tried the links on my blogroll I discovered many of them no longer worked! It was time. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I totally agree with Jennifer&#039;s comment and sometimes I feel guilty that I&#039;m getting more comments than I&#039;m giving. But I&#039;d rather save comments for times when I really have something to say. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;PS I think I know which blogger you&#039;re referring to. That person is no longer on my blogroll either. Too bad.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Lori, thanks for dropping by my blog to leave a comment.  I figured I would reciprocate -- and when I got here and found this post, I new I was on the right track :)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;So far I&#039;ve largely limited my blogroll to political sites that influence me a lot.  I need to build a longer blogroll with a section for &quot;Friends with Blogs&quot;, as I saw somewhere...  I couldn&#039;t figure out how to do that, but it just dawned on me -- each section is a different &quot;gadget,&quot; duh.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I enjoy your ruminations on the writing life.  I&#039;m torn between continuing to try to make a living on my own or going back to a corporate or agency job (if I can find one).  Difficult times...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I have to say I&#039;ve been pretty bad about this. There are loads of great blogs out there that I link to, but visiting each of them daily and leaving a comment on each one (especially a thoughtful, interesting comment that is worth reading) has proved to be too much for me in busy months. Sometimes I&#039;m a bit lax about responding to comments, too. It&#039;s definitely not personal and I appreciate any comments and visitors I get...but sometimes things get busy, and I have to put the paying projects first. I feel bad, but sometimes it just gets to be overwhelming.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[See? The people who shouldn&#039;t be feeling guilty do. Stop it. :)) We get busy. Stuff gets in the way. I&#039;m talking about habitually not caring beyond your own existence. No one who&#039;s ever visited here or posted here (even ol&#039; brianna up there who&#039;s obviously an advertisement for this social bookmarking thing) would qualify as a non-reciprocator. You guys are the best. It&#039;s the ones (and there are so few) who don&#039;t realize that other URLs exist. We&#039;re talking in the three years I&#039;ve had this up here, these people haven&#039;t bothered to stop by once. Nope. Nada.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I really do think it may be a case of my higher expectations bumping up against a case of &quot;No, I don&#039;t wanna.&quot; Either way, I&#039;m not wasting any more time on people like that. I&#039;d much rather spend it with you guys. :))]]></description>
