Casey, I really enjoyed meeting you and look forward to following your blog from here on in.

I have a lot of thoughts I want to share re BlogHer and traffic and blogrolls and stuff, but it will have to wait until I get a new powercord! Argh. Perhaps I’ll write in Word and post later.

I put a counter on my blog, not for the numbers, but because I’m fascinated by where people are coming from.

From the bubbling around the blogosphere, it sounds like BlogHer was excellent this year.

I am so very envious of all the women who went to Blogher and actually got to MEET each other… IN PERSON! I am hoping to go next year… but it will be hard if it’s the last weekend in July again. Standing family vacation.

So glad you had fun! Pictures, please!

I’ve been thinking about this…the whole numbers thing. For me, at this early stage of my blogging experience, the numbers, ratings, and comments represent connections. And let’s face it, if I wasn’t interested in connecting I’d still be scribbling in my journal (or at least have a private blog).

But again, I’m a newbie…just barely with a double digit authority and hoping for days with consistent triple digit hits. Maybe someday I’ll feel confident with these connections that I am still building that I won’t need to check numbers or comments to feel the love.

At least that’s how I justify it to myself;).

Oh, I am so there next year. Though I fear you, me, and Jennifer together could be a dangerous combination.

Boy did you hit the nail on the head. I use to sit (before my company put safe eyes on my computer) at my desk and hit refresh all day long just to see how many new comments. I’ve found that over the summer I’m busy and not as much time for blogging or gasp reading everyone elses “stuff”.

We all need to write for ourselves and the hell with the rest. Right?

The Blogging community at large has been very welcoming (though a few clicks at BlogHer 07 ‘rejected’ me or fellow noobs much to our dismay).

Thank you for the kind words! The Love Is Reciprocated!!
