I'm up to 250 and have 1 day to go. My computer has gone on a go-slow and it's taking me ages to comment on each blog:( OtherwiseI'd be more or less on track. Maybe my computer has caught the virus!! I'm looking forward to reading more about your thoughts on the challenge, and loving your statistics!

Thanks for stopping by it really is appreciated and gives me a warm glow to get a nice comment.

I know I won't reach 300 but at least I'll be in the 200's. :) I'm having problems adding some of the blogs I've found into my feedly reader. Don't know what's with that but it just doesn't recognize them when I do a search on the name etc. Oh well, I've got them bookmarked instead. :) Once I'm done on Friday I'll check out your pinterest board.

Congrats, well done, WOW to your success in your challenge of 300 in 30. I want to thank you for the challenge because it created a few unexpected visits with comments on my blog & it was really nice. Thank you. I am new to blogging & still trying to find my voice, my style. I think a side note to your challenge was to ask why are we blogging, who are we looking to connect with? On another note, not sure if you can get Buckley's in England, it is everything its advertising claims - taste awful but works. I wish you a speedy recovery. :)Patio Postcardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491809927236242223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-21532967884951414172015-10-26T21:28:58.363+00:002015-10-26T21:28:58.363+00:00Commiserations (blooming colds) and congratulation...Commiserations (blooming colds) and congratulations (clinking glasses with you) are both in order :). That's a great achievement, Julie, and I know I have always appreciated and looked forward to your comments, and am touched that I am on your list.

Interesting though that all this extra commenting has taken its toll on your immune system! I love the fact that you've found new blogs to visit regularly, I sometimes try finding new blogs by checking out those on 'following' lists of blogs I read regularly. Maybe we need to try a 'pass the blogger' system where everyone recommends a new blog to the next person on the list!debs14https://www.blogger.com/profile/14521565769251816528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-41089605065520909612015-10-26T12:17:33.480+00:002015-10-26T12:17:33.480+00:00Well done you on 270!

Someone asked me how I was keeping track and suggested I put pebbles in a jar, which I thought was a lovely idea. I've been racking up at least 10 a day, to keep a little ahead in case I run out of steam. It feels like a few more than normal but not too many more. I have quite a few blogs in my Reader because I've been staying in touch with a lot of bloggers who have joined in Storytelling Sunday etc over the years...though of course keeping up with everyone means less time for finding new blogs I could love. I tend to read and comment over my lunch hour, or when I making the dinner. But I'll be slower this week because it's half term and I'll have company, so I can't be bent over the computer as I eat my lunch. Oh, and my laptop is dying. I keep having to turn it off before it gets too hot.<br /><br />Well done!Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764280029794453933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-19388272631016549842015-10-26T10:42:23.615+00:002015-10-26T10:42:23.615+00:00Probably because I talk a lot...you lot can't ...Probably because I talk a lot...you lot can't say "shut up Sian" the way everyone here can :)Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764280029794453933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-81251108831260574742015-10-26T08:57:38.527+00:002015-10-26T08:57:38.527+00:00I love it!

I used to have a 20 blogs a day rule, but I just could not work it and it fell by the wayside. Then social media exploded and that has fast become mine and I'm guessing, most other people's why of commenting. But I really miss blog commenting, as you say you put so much work into a blog post that when it doesn't get a comment it can be a bit of a kick to the gut. You rule Julie! I love this and well done. Now, go and rest up :) KxKim Dellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603231253605096502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-59430239276660403702015-10-25T22:24:43.765+00:002015-10-25T22:24:43.765+00:00I applaud your end efforts Julie, it was a brillia...I applaud your end efforts Julie, it was a brilliant idea and lots of good things came from it (and I'm not talking elbow injury or loss of voice here! Wishing you a speedy recovery.<br />I can see the problem of writing 10 comments a day if people you follow do not post regularly or you do not have enough blogs in your feeder. Iike you I would only want to comment or visit bloigs that have interest and much time could be spent or wasted looking for new blogs. I'm sure you have learned a lot, some of which you have already shared and I look forward to hearing more some time. <br />Enjoy the wine, it is well deserved.Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12558786621283350776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-37129017074688744732015-10-25T20:39:52.344+00:002015-10-25T20:39:52.344+00:00LOL --- but not too much laughing - anyways, I fou...LOL --- but not too much laughing - anyways, I found YOU through your 30 day marathon ---- so sometimes it's not what YOU gain but what others gain through you which is a bit immeasurable, right???

I hope you feel better, and the wine gets my vote. I have found most of my favourite blogs following links in memes but this is limiting in the type of blog you find.

I did find some lovely new blogs though and have started up drawing and painting again as I felt so inspired by some of the blogs. Like you, the trouble was finding 10 blogs a day which was difficult because not everyone updates their blog weekly let alone daily. I didn't put my stats in a spreadsheet. I rather tediously copied them into a word document - never again!!! Thanks for the challenge as I rediscovered your blog again too and have noticed you are getting more comments now than before you started the challenge. Oh, enjoy your wine! :-)Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02766240849932971541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-23017649013351519512015-10-25T19:42:13.435+00:002015-10-25T19:42:13.435+00:00I second the wine and might I also recommend Sambu...I second the wine and might I also recommend Sambucol? A useful supplement through the cough and cold season. It has kept me relatively germ free since I started taking it. My lot dropped like flies with a horrible virus at the beginning of September and I was the only one left unscathed. <br /><br />100 new blogs? That's very impressive. I plan to take up your challenge in November, when there are 30 days, making it nice and neat and more importantly easier to remember!
