As bloggers we work hard to write creative, and interesting posts that capture our readers attention and inspire them to leave a comment. It’s a full circle, and we all realize how many blogs are out there competing for the time readers have available, it’s like a bank account for bloggers. As bloggers we deposit the photos, banking on a creative post to give us the dividends of a comment, it’s a great payoff for all that hard work. Our readers [customers] withdraw the post [funds] by reading it, and we make our interest through the comments they leave.
We all know how little time there is for reading blogs, it’s allocated to so many other things just to keep life rolling along. A comment that the Cranky Crow left me inspired me to ask a few questions in this post… [I am paraphrasing her comment] No, I haven't spent ALL day here — I got interrupted — but, I have spent all of my allotted blogging time here today — and couldn't think of a better way to spend it. Awwww Cranky Crow, you truly are too sweet, you can read the entire comment at the end of this post, she’s a darling, and she doesn’t think that I have big feet.
It’s true, we all have only so much time to read and comment on blogs, and I am wondering what makes us all tick. So how do you decide which are your favourite blogs to read, and how much time they get? Ages, minutes, seconds? What makes you leave a comment, and what makes you click away to the next blog? And why are they your favourite bloggers/blogs, what makes them so? Do you prefer blogs with photos, or more writing? And the biggest… how much time do you REALLY spend reading blogs?
I think that we would all like to read the answers to those questions the blogging time bank may vary from day to day depending upon the reader, but it’s still nice to know that all of our hard work, and creativity is worth it.
