We Love Our Lurkers

Whenever I post a link to a new blog, I always tell people to go and take a look at it, and to leave a comment. Bloggers love comments. It not only lets us know how we're doing, it lets us know that, yes, someone is actually out there looking at the stuff we put up. Very few of us blog just for our health (well....mental health, maybe). We like the give and take, to a certain extent. We like to share our thoughts, our feelings, our pictures, and our love for This Thing We Do. Leaving a comment is a way for you to share something backOf course, not everyone comments. The vast majority of our visitors are lurkers. They come in, read, look around, and leave as quietly as possible. We know they've been here--the stat counter tells us so. And even if they didn't leave a comment, we're grateful that they came around.

So, once a year we like to celebrate that silent majority. We call it, "Love Our Lurkers" day. It's our way of letting you know how much you're all appreciated--and believe me, that appreciation is deep and heartfelt.

We ask only one thing in return. This one time, instead of lurking, we really would like you to leave a little comment. It doesn't have to be much. You don't have to write a novel, or even a paragraph. A simple "hi" would even suffice. It's up to you. But for this one day, let your voice be heard, and then you can go back to lurking for another year.

I'm looking forward to hearing from all of you! Let me know you're out there! Let's hear it for the lurkers!
