I always enjoyed your blog. I love getting to know bloggers personal life as well as being inspired by what inspires them. I haven't posted for a couple of months, but it is an outlet for me to chronicle my life. Of course I want to be interesting to others, but I guess I write for me and my family and friends most of all. I hope I can pop in here once in a while and find out what's going on with you.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08676849110885205835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415970793238032267.post-27300009569720353462013-07-15T07:11:28.222-05:002013-07-15T07:11:28.222-05:00Thanks, Renee for adding your .02!

I don't think I"m up for all of that! I did a few things like that before, but not sure where that fits in now. As for now, I do want to get back; it's a matter of the time it takes and if I feel it's adding value to others and to me. Thanks for sharing!!southerninspirationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963496784797926400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415970793238032267.post-30935382056595919082013-07-14T23:59:26.236-05:002013-07-14T23:59:26.236-05:00Welcome Back!

The big names all seem to have corporate sponsors and it's all about driving traffic to your brand. What attracts me initially to a blog is useful content. That doesn't mean it has to be full of facts, but there has to be something I connect with. (Aha! Your strength!). What keeps me coming back is a personal relationship with the author. Does the author care enough about readers to answer comments? Initiate dialogue and participate beyond the standard "ask them a question at the end of the post"? If the blog is used to promote a business, does the author keep things fresh and interesting? Compensation is fair - writing, editing, and keeping up with a blog is time and labor intensive!<br />Just my .02...looking forward to reading more!Renee @ AddMoreChocolatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14048374069185614464noreply@blogger.com
