Contemplation HNT
I'm contemplating stopping blogging. Since going private, my readership has dropped to almost nothing and last week my HNT only got one comment. Doesn't seem worth the effort to me.
My late wife's sisters stalking me silently and bad mouthing me to my mother in law. I confronted them asking what was wrong and they told me they didn't approve of my life after my wife died. So they all disowned me. I figured if my son and I weren't going to be part of their lives, then they wouldn't be part of ours.
Tough decision. I come by all the time, but rarely comment. I think that because your readership is limited in numbers, your commenters are going to go down as well.
And if you're looking for more feedback, you're getting it over at that other place. And it's alot more immediate.
Aww, don't go! I'd remember to check in more if you had your Site Feed enabled, so I could see new posts in Google Reader :) If ya don't know how to turn it on, let me know. Wait, that sounded bad, didn't it?
I tend to be a voyeur when it comes to blog reading, very rarely do I participate in the comments but I love to watch it all happen ;) I'd miss you if you stopped!
Just do it like me. Be here when you want to be here. But I hate to say it, T, if you're getting harrassed, then stick to pg rated stuff. That's good too!
Blogging is for you anyway. And I feel bad for her family and their pain, but you are entitled to be happy.
I hear ya, I've been thinking along the same lines myself, and it has nothing to do with readership, lol
Blogging has definitely changed since the earlier days, and I don't know if being "private" makes _that_ much of a difference or not, when it comes to getting comments. I, for one, hope you don't leave, tho. In fact, I'd say to hell w/the bad-mouthing family-of-your-late wife and just go back to being BTE, unlocked. But, that's your call. Would be sad to see you go, tho.
NO NO NO dont stop!!!! I mean I still know where to find you but some of the stuff you write here you definatelly cant write there. ya know what I mean?
None of their business, this is YOUR life and you deserve to be happy too! Do not let them dictate what you enjoy. If they happen to get real nasty can't you report them to some administrator at blogger? The heck with them, DON'T STOP!

Why did you go private exactly? I don't have a website so I am not sure...Spam? Vile comments etc??

Hope your hand is feeling better!
I read every week! I check in daily just to see if you made an extra post! I dont feel the need to comment every time. I hope you dont stop!
I'm a regular reader as well. HNT or not. Keep it going.
To the five of you, thank you.
