I will read it again a few times in the next days.rosehttp://www.hollisterukmall.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-43909840068306236142011-05-19T14:38:07.200+02:002011-05-19T14:38:07.200+02:00I'm glad that you'll enjoy Maria's wor...I'm glad that you'll enjoy Maria's work, Odie. Enjoy the reads! <br /><br />Mish, I agree that it's vital, even if it sometimes takes effort. <br /><br />Su, the shorter posts thing is slowly starting to become a serious consideration for me, because I like putting reader preferences first. But damn, I'm so wordy.Misha Gerrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364173848456424521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-49477005427208506122011-05-19T12:54:37.851+02:002011-05-19T12:54:37.851+02:00Wow, that's so true.

Suddenly I have conversation. It's amazing.<br /><br />I've also found (much to my chagrin) that shorter posts = better. I rarely stick around to the end of a long post, so why would anyone bother to do the same on my blog? It's a bummer, because I'm wordy, but it does make a difference when it comes to people actually commenting instead of breezing through.Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862479925124552922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-55238152717621725502011-05-18T19:34:55.180+02:002011-05-18T19:34:55.180+02:00Having the time to comment is a huge factor.

Also I've backed off commenting unless I know the person writing the blog comments back (either via a comment or email). Feels like I'm wasting my time otherwise.Steph Schmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00975939582442193113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-68018754043299251572011-05-18T16:13:11.484+02:002011-05-18T16:13:11.484+02:00Hey Misha ~ you are so right about comments .

Please let your friend from yesterday know that I checked her books out at Amazon and had three of them downloaded into my Kindle yesterday. From what I could see it appears I will enjoy them all. Have a wonderful wednesday.<br />Odie :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920831144240024660noreply@blogger.com
