Just Spreadin’ the Luv

March 10, 2009 by Elaine

So I griped on twitter yesterday about how my blog seemed a little “ghost town-like” in the comments section. Seriously, I could here crickets chirping through my laptop. Traffic has been about on par but I’ve had less comments the last few days.

I also asked if perhaps it’s because I smell and no one “@”ed me saying that I did or didn’t so now I’m a little worried and will be taking an extra long shower today.

But! On a VERY positive note about comments I thought I would pass on some love that was given to me a few days ago from Jen at Daily Mish Mash. She writes a great blog featuring many things about pop culture and celebrities. I especially like to visit on Fridays where she highlights celebrity males (that’s the important part) in a post called Friday’s Eye Candy. Here she posts pics of these hunks from a list that a friend or fellow blogger (or both!) has chosen. Seriously girls, it’s worth the visit, trust me. (I’ve linked to the last one. It’s fine, you can thank me later…or in the comments section!) I know… I’m almost begging, aren’t I?

ANY. WAY. Because I comment at her place quite a bit she gave me my own “star” and I am SO honored to be in her comment hall of fame. Can I call it that Jen? Oops, I already did… ; )

So like I said, I’m going to pass it on to some of the wonderful bloggers in my life that comment here pretty much on the daily (and if they don’t come every day they come back and comment later). Without further ado, I present you with my Star Commenters for today:

Sparkette @ Our Lil Kilowats

Kami @ Kami’s Khlopchyk

Christina @ Momology

Krystyn @ Really Are You Serious? (Krystyn also responds to all the comments I leave at her place too – she’s amazing!)

Angella @ Dutch Blitz

Three Boys 1 Mommy

Lisa @ Growing Up Mo

Lisa @ very busy mom with 4

My Three B’s and Me

Spoiled Mommy

Thanks ladies for all the comment luv and support. I really do appreciate it and I know you all know what I mean.

And also, I hope you’ll pass it on… : )

Also, I’m linking up to Tuesday’s Tribute hosted by Jay and Deb because this is most certainly a tribute to comments and commeters alike!

    Aren’t comments fabulous? They’re like little emailed presents every day after a post.

    Great post!

    I most certainly know what you mean. I do read all your posts, though sometimes I am too lazy to comment. 🙂

    Commenting has definitely been slow the past few days. Thanks for stopping by my place and showin’ me some love!

    Well, I know a lot of people in bloggy land are sick or pregnant. Or both. So that could be keeping people away from the computer a bit. I know I haven’t been around as much lately. Don’t take it personally. 😉

    How are you feeling lately?

  7. Jen says

    Thanks for the linkage. I think that commenting has been slow because of the weather breaking. I know that I haven’t been spending as much time at the computer. Once everyone gets over their Spring Fever, I think things will pick back up. I try really hard not to be a slave to my comments (as in the ones my posts receive) but it is hard sometimes. I just love the feedback.

    March 10, 2009 at 2:46 pm

    Awwww…I’m blushing!!! That’s a new one for me, too! I will go add it right now!

    Now, quick…send me a comment so I can respond! I’m a fast typer…or is it typist?

    Just wanted to drop in and say that I really enjoy your blog. I am taking a blogging break, which has resulted in me also not spending as much time blog reading. Your blog is wonderful! Congrats on the award.

    I firmly believe you have to train yourself to comment. Being a lurker is far too easy.

    congrats on your star friend – that will look beautiful outside your door on your sidewalk 🙂

    You are a star commentor in my book also…

    March 10, 2009 at 6:20 pm

    Ahhhhhh, thank you Elaine. I don’t have a lot of time right now to read blogs, although I would like more time, but YOURS is one I always visit when I do have the time.

    isnt it funny how we all live for comments. And I think/believe seasons reflect on how much time we all have to take time to comment, bad I know, we shouldnt just read and move on quickly but it happens…ugggg

  17. Kami says

    March 10, 2009 at 9:58 pm

    Comments are lovely aren’t they? And you are a star commenter for sure, I appreciate every single one of your comments.

    And thank you for the award! I have to comment, after all you are my blogging BFF right? 😉

    Oh I love comments, what a great idea for a tribute! Unfortunately, my poor blog doesn’t get many!
    Now, I am going to take a look around your blog, it’s mega cute!
