Average Jane Says “Hi”

Written by

One of my biggest blogging flaws is that I don’t make enough effort to continue the conversation when someone visits or comments. I try to visit my visitors’ blogs and comment, but I don’t like to butt into a conversation unless I think I have something relevant to add. I eventually add regular visitors and commenters to my "Other Blogs I Like" list, but it sometimes takes me a while (although I did add some over the holidays). As much as I admire bloggers who e-mail a response to every comment, I’m afraid I just don’t have the time, even with my extremely modest traffic.

Lately I’ve noticed a lot of new visitors and commenters, including Eulallia, Noell, Marylynn and AWE. Thanks for stopping by and jumping in.

Considering that I’ve been blogging for less than two years and on very mundane topics at that, I’m thrilled to have such a great core of readers.

If you’re a reader/lurker who hasn’t commented, don’t be shy. Do you
have any questions? Is there something you think I should write
about? Don’t get hung up on my comment relevance thing. This is your chance
to introduce yourself. I’m a busy woman – I’ll take all the helpful input I can get!

Your “about” page is sparse- I want to know more about you!

Jane,
I like how Rozanne over at Anything of Interest and Diana over at Piffle both respond to nearly every comment made on their blogs. I try to do the same, but have been lacking, too.
Eulalia,
I know Jane in real life and can attest to the fact that she is anything BUT Average. I love the irony in her self-appointed moniker.

Hi, I’ve been lurking for a while. I was introduced to your blog by bitterkat (http://www.bitterkat.com/bk/). I don’t have any questions – just wanted to say hi! 🙂

I don’t have any questions either, just saying hi. And thanks for leaving me a comment on my blog a few weeks ago, I try to respond to comments, but blogger doesn’t let me see email addresses (so far, it’s my only problem with them). But anyway, hi, and thanks! 🙂

Hello again, Eulallia! At your suggestion, I’ve returned my one-line bio to my About page. To find out more than that, just scroll through the Archives. 🙂
Welcome, Heather and Jenn! Thanks for de-lurking!

I’ve been lurking here for a long time . . I think I came through a BlogHer blogroll. At any rate, I loved the cartoon and the title and stuck around. I like your not-so-average blog!
