National Blog Posting Month

Anyone else stalk their own site?

Am I the only one that stalks my own site regularly to see if I got a comment from one of my faithful readers? Or do you not have the time for such nonsense. ...just checkin' to see if I'm normal or a weird-o. [insert nervous laugh here]

okay, that was a lie. so i check them about every 15 minutes or so when i'm at work and then as soon as i get home and then right before i cook dinner and after i've washed the dishes and then right before i give my son a bath, oh, and then once again before i put him to bed...

yeah, and that was a lie too. i check them too daggone often though, really. kinda cool to see who's swingin' by to check you out.; ▶ Reply to This

Pleased that I'm obviously achingly normal in Bloggerland!; ▶ Reply to This

So, come on NaBloPoMo bloggers, come and comment! I promise to respond!

Of course, I should be doing client work first. Oh Well.; ▶ Reply to This

I'm another who has comments emailed. Although I say this is because I want to approve comments asap, it is really because I like to see comments. It makes me feel like I'm fulfilling my goal of becoming the best undiscovered blog ever. ;); ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Kelly Wright on November 9, 2007 at 12:27pm: I get instant emails when there's any activity on either of my sites, and I hear the "ding" and read the comment or click the link to go to the site. Since I'm sitting here all day anyway, I might as well read something pleasant or funny!; ▶ Reply to This

I love to "stalk" other blogs and check on mine regularly. I think it's also part of the "am I being accepted" scenario where we all just want to be loved in this world. I am such a geek!; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Essie Webber on November 12, 2007 at 7:44pm: Hah, I do all of the above and thought I was being obsessive. Well, I am, but I feel much better knowing others stalk their sites. Maybe you do it in a less obsessive, more serene way or something.

I have a weird problem/non-problem...to the extent that I am building up any audience at all, it's been 99% subscription. Hardly anyone goes to the site. I started Essentral on Sept. 1st on Blogspot and the a month later moved to Quaboo. I pretty much lost all the actual visiting audience from the move even though I tried to avoid that....; ▶ Reply to This
