Not for a long time. Then I started gettting excessive spam AND trolls (maybe because I joke around). People cursing and leaving vulgar comments for other bloggers who made comments. Then I got some perv making comments about children. A nasty and not fun thing to wake up to. Takes the fun out of blogging for me. I just got out of the comment business and dropped the whole mess. I just blog for fun now and visit and read friends and when people write to me or email me, I write back. Now I get excessive requests from advertisers who want to advertise on my blogs. I ignore. Makes my life simpler. So, as in life, not everyone has the same problems when it comes to blogging. And like life, one solution does not fit all. I think that lettimg go the insistence that people be the same, act the same and blog the same, is a good thing. Do not kill me or kick me, G. I'm just the messenger.Writing on Boardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03586187888418224291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13825130.post-45363870103425623762008-10-06T06:30:00.000+05:302008-10-06T06:30:00.000+05:30Hmmm.
