Since I began blogging, I've probably ordered ten books written by blogger friends. I always figure if I like the person that much, and their blog posts are interesting, then I'll probably like their books as well. So far, I have not been disappointed.Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-46962902824125255132011-01-06T10:36:27.768-07:002011-01-06T10:36:27.768-07:00Thanks, Linda.

But I do limit the time I spend, or I'd never get anything done. And then I get sidetracked by interesting looking tweets for blogs -- but I don't do all of them every day, or that's all I'd do.Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-15882417219205135612011-01-06T10:22:10.586-07:002011-01-06T10:22:10.586-07:00Terry - I don't remember how I first found you...Terry - I don't remember how I first found your blog - just wandering from blog to blog, I imagine - but it was shortly after I started blogging last summer. I became a follower because you write mystery/romance, which is my genre as well, and because I found your posts to be interesting and useful. <br /><br />I'm still trying to read all the blogs in my Google Reading list every day which is becoming almost imposible as the list grows but I haven't worked out a solution yet to tame the beast. How do you do it?Linda Leszczukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15117080878321152684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-87882622502208483482011-01-06T08:02:47.930-07:002011-01-06T08:02:47.930-07:00Celia - some days it seems there's a major syn...Celia - some days it seems there's a major synchronicity in the blogosphere, doesn't it.

I think I have a pretty good blog, but I was interested in what blog readers might say. And man, did they talk! Even though I do most everything to do, I'm making a list of particular things someone says. <br />I love my blog--and other authors' blogs, too. You have one of the top blogs, in my opinion.

But I'm commited to entering a post every day - you'd have to see the blog to understand why and how. I've checked the stats and I have readers worldwide, so we'll see what comes of it. <br /><br />One thing I'm learning about Facebook is that everybody's writing and very few are reading. At least with a blog, people are stopping to read.Fran Bakerhttp://www.daughterofthegreatdepression.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-1958887204564863832011-01-05T13:59:16.782-07:002011-01-05T13:59:16.782-07:00Maryann, thanks for the detailed answers -- and fo...Maryann, thanks for the detailed answers -- and for having a copy of When Danger Calls. <br /><br />Kristi - I'm glad you found me. And thanks for the comments. You're right -- they do mean a lot.<br /><br />Jacqueline - thanks. I didn't intend this to be a 'how to' blog when I started -- mostly because I was clueless. But I love sharing what I'm learning.<br /><br />Ciara -- welcome, and I hope you'll browse the blog tabs at the top of the page and my website as a way of getting acquainted.Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-57655546779660920682011-01-05T13:46:11.144-07:002011-01-05T13:46:11.144-07:00I just found your blog via Savvy Authors, but I...I just found your blog via Savvy Authors, but I'm looking forward to learning more about you as a writer.

Like you, I also respond to every blog comment on our blog, because it shows how much we value the people who visit. I blog because I love it, and I think people can tell when you do something out of passion. I love these social media posts-thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05255908019822363456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-14417958079849139212011-01-05T07:57:40.384-07:002011-01-05T07:57:40.384-07:00I came here because I follow your blog and have le...I came here because I follow your blog and have learned from the series on online marketing. I do visit regularly. I follow because I enjoy your posts and learn from you and your guests. I do Tweet your blog sometimes. Skipping number 6. Main "do" for me for a blog is be professional if you are using it in part as a marketing tool. Keep the personal stuff for another blog. And, yes, I have bought books, yours included, after getting to know an author via the blog. "When Danger Calls" is waiting for me to get to it.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.com
