This has been such a brilliant series and it's given me so much to think about. We're in the middle of (hopefully) selling our house/buying a new one and I feel so frustrated as I don't have time to blog the way I felt I ought to, i.e. chronologically and from scratch, but you've opened my eyes to creating drafts/posts with all the stuff I ALREADY HAVE on my laptop, so for now I will tinker with that and post as and when.

Because you deserve to be. It's a fantastic achievement.<br /><br />I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and I love how you ended with some chat about community and commenting. There as many different attitudes to commenting out there as there are bloggers I sometimes think! I have a post going round Pinterest with similar numbers - and haven't received any extra comments at all on it! Which is food for thought every time I pin something myself..<br />..but what I'm noticing more and more is that some of my quieter readers are also my most regular..which brings us back to your excellent point: it has to be about content and its value to readers can never be entirely gauged by comment alone.Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764280029794453933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-71028711055470223292013-04-29T22:32:14.816+01:002013-04-29T22:32:14.816+01:00I'm so glad i wasn't the only one with a l...I'm so glad i wasn't the only one with a lump in my throat as i read your post.

I agree,...Tears in my eyes as I read this, Julie! <br />I agree, it is not about numbers or having a huge following. It is about the special people who stick by, show up regularly, and who help to build something special. <br />You have given me some great ideas through this course. I've not had time to try many of them and my second attempt at scheduling a post failed as miserably as my first so I need to check out why.<br />But I love the idea of using Pinterest. And I'm not sure if I ever saw your acclaimed Art Journal tutorial, so I'll be adding to your number of viewers!<br />THANK YOU again Julie for this course. It has been truly amazing. I have so enjoyed your humour and your writing, and the course content will keep me busy and learning for a long time to come. I am going to miss your twice weekly postings but at least your regular blog posts will stop me having withdrawal symptoms!<br />I might even be able to get my act together and join in with My Month in Numbers.

Can't wait - need to get some structure to my blogging!)<br /><br />I cannot, CANNOT agree enough about visiting other blogs and commenting. I can remember someone saying to me "oh, you had such and such amount of comments on that post and this post" quite snottily - I guarantee you that it's always been from people who do not visit other blogs much and certainly don't comment. It's not magic. It's not luck. It takes work but it is SO worth it. I can tell you that my very best friends? Apart from 2 long term friends made via school and work (and Craig of course - so 3!) but my best friends have been made via my blog. Such good things come of it. Inspiration. Confidence. Exposure. Even peace of mind - through Rocking Fridays - a whole mind frame altered.<br /><br />Well done Julie - on the charity and on the whole course :)Carmen https://www.blogger.com/profile/07968725221313800020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-73374322064425299102013-04-28T19:52:52.129+01:002013-04-28T19:52:52.129+01:00I still haven't had a chance to read all of yo...I still haven't had a chance to read all of your posts but I have them bookmarked and a new notebook at the ready.

I try hard to comment on blogs I've read but sometimes I just don't have the time and I end up with a couple of word comments: lovely post, great idea etc but I know how I appreciate people commenting so try to do something, no matter how small. I joined a Shimelle class a few years back and found a great group of bloggers out there. I'm sure you've come across various posts about how we met up recently! There are some great people out there! Thanks for all the advice on how to find new friends whilst still cherishing the existing ones! debs14https://www.blogger.com/profile/14521565769251816528noreply@blogger.com
