So, other than my usual volumes of booby-googlers, my blog has been fairly dead for the last couple of months. Some of my posts have gotten zero comments. Most get way less than they used to.
So I figure I must be getting boring.
If anyone is still stopping by here, what would you like to hear about?

I’m still reading but more on my phone which makes it harder to comment. I’ll try to comment more often. I know how it feels to write without getting a response.
I know what you mean about reading on the phone. The blogs I check most often are fellow WordPress blogs because it’s easier to comment. I end up putting off checking my other favorites until I can get to a computer. Phones need to improve in that regard.
Blogger have improved, though! Especially if the blog owner has enabled mobile view. 🙂 Although I suppose it would be tricky with the word verification. Last time I tried shutting it off there was loads of spam. 😦
That’s what I like about WordPress. It filters my span automatically!
I came in last night and read and chuckled and grinned at the cute baby … and didn’t comment. How rude! I know better. I’ve been by, though. I’ll be more conscientious about at least waving hello when I’ve been through!
It’s okay, I don’t comment on every post you make that I read either. I don’t expect every person to comment every time. But when you see tumbleweed on your blog you worry a bit :p
I still call by. You are one of three blogs I visit – there’s you, NotMaryP, and Hodgepodge&Strawberries. I just end up reading and not commenting, sorry. I love all the Owl stories best (particularly now he’s saying more – it sounds so cute the way you write it). Loved your video montage from Disneyland too.
I’m in good company there – thanks! 🙂
All of the above???
Seconded! 😀
Blog what you want…. I will still read and enjoy it. If you try to force this blog to conform to what you think someone else wants to read, it will suck the joy out of it.
After going through all my “embarrassing lady stuff” I love to read about other folks’ stuff. Makes me feel more normal. 🙂
Excellent. Will try to craft something tmi-ish
Hah! Fabulous. I REALLY miss your doggy blog!
I’ll restart it some day. In the mean time are you interested in a blog comparing raising a puppy to raising a toddler?
I love what you write and will read whatever you write about. I am now working full time so I usually catch up on blog reading during lunch and don’t have the brain power to form coherent comments.
I know what you mean. I am behind on many of the blogs I read because I am waiting until I have time to comment…
Hi. I don’t think I’ve ever introduced myself. Probably not since I’ve never ever left a comment before. I’ve been checking in with your blog daily for over a year and I really, really love it. Some pop culture related posts, such as the ones about Twilight vs. Harry Potter, I have read and re-read several times because I think they’re so incredibly brilliant. Bit I also love your posts about anxiety issues because I can relate to most of them so much it’s almost scary. I can honeslty say that these posts have had a certain impact on my life. I see things about myself more clearly and I secretly celebrate the fact that there’s someone out there who is actually, you know, like me. I rarely comment on blogs at all and you aren’t really supposed to tell some stranger on the Internet how much you relate to them anyway, right? I’m not sure why I’m even typing this, except, well, it’s obviously about the topic. It’d be a shame if you felt that no-one reads the blog or whatever when it’s really so important. There, I’m done, now I’ll go hide on a corner or something 🙂 PS: I found your blog through Traxy so she deserves some credit. Go Traxy!
Welcome fellow Traxy lover and anxiety girl! I am happy to know you exist.
LOL! Also: yay for friends! 🙂
I still pop by and read, but I don’t usually comment on anyone’s blog unless I feel like I can add something to the conversation.
Which is silly, I know. I hate writing a post and having it disappear into the ether.
I’ve been a lazy bloggy citizen lately. I’ll try to do better. 🙂
As for topics, write what YOU want to write. These spaces are supposed to be here for us, right? So you talk about whatever floats your boat.
True, but I am also here to entertain. I when my commenters disappear it tells me that people don’t have anything to say about my posts, so I feel like I must be less interesting lately. My life is boring now, though.
I absolutely love your blog and read it faithfully but I never really comment, I guess either because I feel like I have nothing to contribute to the conversation or because I feel mildly creepy being a random internet stranger commenting on your blog. But I guess my reasons aren’t very rational…I’ll try to be better about commenting! 🙂
Don’t feel creepy! Don’t feel obligated to comment either. I am gladyou’re enjoying my posts.
Im really sorry I haven’t commented in a while! I read your blog though a reader, and often don’t have a comment option there… Lazy, yeah.
Keep it up, please, I appreciate your voice!
Yeah I find comments really hard to make through my rss feeds too! You are not obliged to comment. I just want to make sure people are still interested.
I’m terrible about not commenting now, but it has everything to do with me and this stupid illness and nothing at all to do with the content of your posts. I still read all of your posts. I can’t see any clear reason why your comments would be dropping off at the moment (or any vague reasons, for that matter). Everything seems just as good as ever to me.
Yeah, you get excused from the everything. Go go sleep!
I’ve commented once or twice before but I usually don’t just because I feel like a creeper. I think that your posts are hilarious and that you should keep writing about anything and everything. I do really enjoy your posts on books, though.
Don’t feel creepy! My blog is public for a reason. I crave the feedback! I’m glad you enjoy my posts!
I’ve read that many bloggers have seen a decline in blog comments (and an increase in Twitter/Instagram comments) over the last year…
So it’s not just me?
I have always wanted to see a post from you on the books you found most and least helpful in the pregnancy, birth, baby process. Mostly because you and I share views on so much of that stuff….that I kinda just want to steal my book shopping list from you. 🙂 But, FYI, I always get excited to see a new post on your page.
Ooh, what a good idea!
I’m still reading! But maybe not as much as I used to because I am trying to cut down the time I spend on the internet. I don’t always comment as a good comment doesn’t always occur to me. (Often the main thing I think of is “ooh, that’s a bit like when x happened to me”, and then I think I should stop always talking about myself and my family.)
Hi! Waving!!
I haven’t been commenting lately (have been reading, though), in part because the sign-in process for commenting me just aggravates me. (Not a good reason, I know. I’m apparently easily aggravated. :/)
I like all your stuff, especially the book-related stuff. I read your child-based stuff with interest, but am almost certain *not* to comment on it, as I don’t have children myself. Don’t feel I have any authority to have an opinion on it, one way or another.
I’m right with everybody else that *we* should not determine what you write; *you* should. We’re here because you are intelligent, funny, and interesting. Sorry for dropping out of the commenting business there, because I do understand the “HELLO?” feeling of writing and writing and writing and getting no response. I’ll try to put aside my petty aggravation and just sign in more often. 😉
Write whatever you feel like. It’s good stuff.
Can you get your computer to remember your commenting info? Glad to know you’re still out there!
It…I…I don’t know, is the plain bloody answer. *Sigh*
I set my browser to delete cookies, then run a cache cleaner before shutting down, as well. It pretty much knocks everything out, between the two, so I don’t believe so. Heaven only knows I could be wrong, though.
And of course I’m still out here! 😀 I’m the one upvoting people’s posts (I *do* like kindness in people).
Yay, I heartily approve that.
I still read, just guilty of not commenting. Will try harder to comment 🙂
I love your film and book reviews – you have such great insight, and you always make me giggle…more of ’em, I say!
