It's an interesting subject, that of Followers. I must say I find I have quite a number of "spammy" followers, and for the most part I have no idea where they came from. <br /><br />I have regular commenters who don't follow and Followers who don't comment. There is an overlap but not as much as I had thought.Sheilahttp://apostcardaday.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970917.post-63247059673166783332009-07-24T17:06:26.253-04:002009-07-24T17:06:26.253-04:00Evelyn.. thank you for your faithfulness in not on...Evelyn.. thank you for your faithfulness in not only being a "follower" but in also posting your insightful messages.

I hadn't noticed that my "Follower" gadget had disappeared from the <br /><a href="http://calgensoc.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">California Genealogical Society and Library blog</a>. I must have removed it in error when I was rearranging the furniture. I agree that following is supportive but it is a challenge keeping up with all the blogs that now crowd my reader. I'm honored to be one of your followers!Kathryn Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508373744866161837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970917.post-26095915554901465102009-07-24T11:20:36.371-04:002009-07-24T11:20:36.371-04:00Lucie re: Followers etc.

I think it's a great way to recognize and encourage fellow bloggers.<br />Evelyn in MontrealEvelyn Yvonne Theriaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04512331037467548666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970917.post-63694859720905415322009-07-24T11:17:46.632-04:002009-07-24T11:17:46.632-04:00Adam brings up an interesting point about the impo...Adam brings up an interesting point about the importance of comments and how he prefers they add something to the original topic.<br />For readers of the blog the comments are particularly interesting when they add something to the original post, however as a blogger I appreciate all comments - even when they are generic, because when I get clusters of comments it sometimes gives me clues as to where to go next with my blog. <br />I'm sometimes quite astonished at which posts get more feedback and it often effects the direction my blog takes. For example, I've posted a great deal of Lagace information and codfish postcards after getting thanks for those posts.<br />Thanks for starting a good conversation, Adam!<br />Evelyn in MontrealEvelyn Yvonne Theriaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04512331037467548666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970917.post-86916173964772450732009-07-24T09:25:15.016-04:002009-07-24T09:25:15.016-04:00Hi Thomas,

For me I think it is all quite important that if someone takes the time to share on a regular basis, being a "Follower" is a sort of encouraging support for the blogger. As I say, we all have our own perspective and I guess that is mine ;o) - at the end of the day, I somewhat see it all working together.<br /><br />Again, thank you for sharing and expressing your point of view. It is greatly appreciated that you took the time to do so.Lucie LeBlanc Consentinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13480035657625949265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970917.post-8271744146221633152009-07-24T08:23:39.063-04:002009-07-24T08:23:39.063-04:00For me, comments are more important than followers...For me, comments are more important than followers, but more than that, comments that add something to the initial subject. I know some people have hundreds of followers and follow hundreds of blogs themselves in return, carefully leaving a tiny message on most of them each day, but for me this is far too much work and rather pointless too.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453626318828119830noreply@blogger.com
