Staying Connected.....& Tagging Me!

Happy Saturday Friends!

Source
One of my lovely readers asked me:

 How do you find the time to visit everyone? 

I don't visit everyone BUT...i try to visit most.
The answer is basically i am nosey and i enjoy finding out what is going on in people's lives.
The blogland is sometimes better than reality TV and some people have such interesting lives.
I don't follow people i don't genuinely find interesting, don't inspire me and or believe are fun.
Therefore, i will attempt to read your blog at least once a week to catch up on what's been going on in your life. It helps to have a daily read because i can check some of my favs daily; 
this makes it easy to comment.
Also if i visit one blog...and i see someone i know...
i will make sure i follow them to their blog and say hello!
Thank goodness to the smart phone, i can stay connected to blogs and comment throughout the day...blogging has become a GREAT way to pass through a boring meeting.
But i think for me...the #1 reason, 
i find time to visit (almost) everyone is because
 i am curious but nature and i am just interested in what's going on in your lives!

Love this interview. LOVE your blog so much :). I have the same phobia :(, when it comes to staying connected with my fav blogger I follow similar method to yours - I really can't enough of some bloggers like you but not always I can comment though I read the posts

I stay in touch with my blogland through my google reader app on my iPhone. Hubs says I'm addicted because even on vacation I have to check it and see how everyone is doing. Loved the questionnaires.

Thank you for answering my questions! It is really hard to follow everything everyone is doing but like you I only follow those I am genuinely intrigued with! I don't always comment but I do read posts!

LV said...

blog-hopping is the best; i do it all the time. this allows me to find great blogs (like yours!) and many others that i add to my google reader. my daily morning ritual is sitting in front of my computer with my hot cup of tea and going through my entire gReader. it totally helps me kick-start my day.

Thanks for sharing. I don't have a system for keeping up with blogs. I totally need one!! I have a few that I read daily, like yours and I try to always comment. Some I read and tweet. I don't view my GFC blogs as often as I would like but I try to browse 3-4 times a week. I bookmark some sites & follow a few via email. So needless to say I dont get around to them all daily. I do try to visit all that leave me comments. I think that's it!

How fun if you were a talk show host!
I definitely like catching up on blogs at least once a week (though life does get in the way!)

i try my hardest to keep in touch with the bloggers i follow by visiting their pages at least once a week. i notice that i make more of an effort on the ones that leave comments on my page that way i let them know that i am also interesting in them. it isn't always easy because i can't blog or read blogs daily but i make sure to make an effort.

i love your blog and the way i see that you make an effort for others. not just mine but i see you on many of the ones i read as well. goes to show what a wonderful blogger you are :)

Faith said...

p.s. chocolate anything is my dessert too :)

It can be hard to keep up. I know that I had a blog prior to this one for about 2 1/2 years and while it is nice to have a lot of followers. It is so hard to keep up at times, but I feel that I am better at it now with this new blog. Loved the exercise as well. Great interview. Perhaps one day you will get your own talk show! :)

I have a top blog list that I try to read daily(yours included-hehe). I save the rest for the end of the week while I am at work. I'll read to keep myself from falling asleep!
