I struggle to keep on top of the numbers for the month. I am thinking that this month Imight just take your lead and visit the other participants blogs to see what they do for their numbers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12070651334664091566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-18863554793764922732012-03-15T18:56:56.692+00:002012-03-15T18:56:56.692+00:00You have such a way with words and pitched it perf...You have such a way with words and pitched it perfectly. Think it is a valid point - definitely aiming to do March's and have a bit of a draft of a retrospective February. I may catch up with myself soon :0)Jo.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820748953847906225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-14072621893268551012012-03-15T14:24:16.550+00:002012-03-15T14:24:16.550+00:00It may have been awkward to write but you pitched ...It may have been awkward to write but you pitched it perfectly - we all lead busy lives and sometimes forget that our behaviour on the net shouldn't be any different from the way we'd behave if we were face to face :o)Jimjamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10250679921843610035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-89520364083456485432012-03-15T12:46:13.458+00:002012-03-15T12:46:13.458+00:00Julie, I don't think this was an awkward post ...Julie, I don't think this was an awkward post (from pov of a reader - I understand it may have felt awkward for you to write it).<br /><br />It's perfectly reasonable to ask people to take time to read and comment when they take part in any form of "blog hop" - whether a one-off, or a regularly scheduled thing. Sian (fromhighinthesky.blogspot.com/)has set out some clear "rules of engagement" for her regular "Storytelling Sunday" posts. She posts this set of rules/requests each month. <br />Similarly, Shimelle always sets some guidelines or rules, when she has a blog hop or similar. <br />It's okay to ask for comments. It's okay to ask people to read and comment on other links in the list. <br />After all, blogging is a social occupation and a blog-hop is supposed to be there to get people involved. <br />The "post and run" approach strikes me as selfish and just plain rude! <br />So, don't feel uncomfortable about asking people to join in properly and be fair! <br />BTW, I really enjoy reading the Month in Numbers posts by bloggers I follow. I haven't joined in myself yet, but I will do, one of these days...Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918211625453430621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-81393554795766858352012-03-15T11:52:51.260+00:002012-03-15T11:52:51.260+00:00Hi Julie, Thanks for the Month in Numbers reminder...Hi Julie, Thanks for the Month in Numbers reminder. No need to feel awkward at all, it's just housekeeping from you & politeness from the posters :D<br />Thanks for co-ordinating us all every month, it's much appreciated.<br />C xxClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07316125443463860970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-85733532906847829382012-03-15T11:24:56.357+00:002012-03-15T11:24:56.357+00:00Thanks so much for taking the time to say so Lynn ...Thanks so much for taking the time to say so Lynn - it's really appreciated. :-D<br /><br />[breathing a small sigh of relief ...]Julie Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606220227331834682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-33893219821544179812012-03-15T11:16:15.385+00:002012-03-15T11:16:15.385+00:00No need to feel awakward - a point well made.
