I know - there are the cliques and the elitists - but I think that the B, C and D listers on the blogging circuit are about to come into their own. And I want to be one of them. I just have to figure out how to get there!!! I'm tryin'!<br /><br />LindaLinda Leyblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345437844014740242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711916785635061879.post-48968856297663138652011-04-20T11:38:51.534-04:002011-04-20T11:38:51.534-04:00I agree with everything that you said about bloggi...I agree with everything that you said about blogging. It's all true because same as you and all the other bloggers in the blogosphere, I've also experienced the same. The blogosphere is a great place where you can express your thoughts, feelings, ideas, your passion, creativity, everything. <br /><br />It's a place where you are the star, and you have an audience watching and listening to you. With blogging, you can be anything you want and you can do anything you like. It's like your own wonderland. But there's one thing about the blogosphere that's the same with reality. You can't please everyone. That is why you still have to be nice. For me, being nice is being wise. You might not please everybody. But for sure you pleases a lot for being nice.<br /><br /><a href="http://vacuumcleaners-reviews.net/best-vacuum-cleaners-dyson-dc25-ball-vacuum-cleaner-review" rel="nofollow">"Vacuum Cleaners | dyson dc25"</a>Jerico Jienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03637871867453325558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711916785635061879.post-37505256868346619762011-04-18T23:12:48.324-04:002011-04-18T23:12:48.324-04:00Great post Christina!

I thought I would come back I have left a comment previously and clarify a couple of points. Firstly, when I started leaving comments I just presumed that every comment that was left would be answered, I obviously didn't look at the numbers!!! I would rather cut off my arms than hurt anyone's feelings, or make anyone feel sad/guilty and the first comments that I made were for the couple of blogs that I have noticed that NEVER respond (BARELY 10 COMMENTS AND UNDER)....only a couple of blogs, everyone else has been fantastic and I love the blogging world with like-minded souls.....I guess with the ones that NEVER acknowledge, maybe they have their reasons.....Anyway, more of the positive and ignore the negative!!!!<br />Take care<br />Janine<br />XXOO<br />Tasmania, AustraliaJanine Marshallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711916785635061879.post-76079736133885161242010-05-01T17:33:26.002-04:002010-05-01T17:33:26.002-04:00Hello Christina,

I come accross a new blog everyday and it really inspires me. As does yours! <br />So a good strong hug and a positive thought all the way from The Netherlands from Jessica (don't have a blog but to tell you a little bit about me I work as a volunteer with donkeys, make lots and lots of small hearts from felt and fabric, little boxes with images from Flower children on them and just yesterday started making earrings - I hope to make many nice things for the open day we have next week for the donkeysJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388241242575336264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711916785635061879.post-16973560763736983952010-05-01T06:31:46.914-04:002010-05-01T06:31:46.914-04:00First time visiting your blog after reading a post...First time visiting your blog after reading a post Maria of Dreamy Whites did on you.<br />This is a perfect post you have done.

I have to say I've been blogging just over a year now and see how much people can change with a little popularity under their belt.. ... and also grateful for the ones who don't. I totally agree the only rules we need is to be ourselves and appreciate those who visit and comment.... and as you say... return in kind.... Mise put up a good point also... it's easy to get a little fixated on growth when you see all the numbers flying around you.. on your own and your friends blogs.. but in reality it should be about self expression and like minded friends ...not popularity... Great to see this post keeping it real... Now I need to see the rest of your blog... oh and Happy May Day..

I guess becuase I have been in the blogging world for such little time I have not come accross anyone who has been rude or had other intentions, I guess I have been so fortunate! I'm just thankful that I have met so many wonderful friends like you through blogging that are all in it for the right reasons. It's so wonderful to have a group of friends that are true and real!
