I, along with a couple of hundred other aspiring bloggers, was given the opportunity to get a taste – just a tiny one, only eight days long and one post wide – of what it’s like to be a big-time blogger with a large, contributing readership.
I must say, it’s been exhilarating!
Thanks to the amazing efforts of Blogelina, who dreamed up and hosted The Week-Long 100 Comments On My Blog Event, I’ve already, after just one day, received 88 comments on my event post (10 Ways to Live a Meaningful Life) – which is most definitely a record for this insignificant blogger-among-many!
The very best part is that these 88 (and counting) comments aren’t throwaway, spammy-type comments, posted simply to fulfill an obligation for participation in the event. Not even a little bit! Take some time to sit down with a cup of tea or coffee and read through this collection of wisdom, thoughtfulness, inspiration, and general awesomeness – there’s something there for everyone!
If you would like to take your blogging to the next level, and haven’t already discovered Blogelina, I strongly encourage you to check out her site. She offers endless tips and suggestions, practical advice, and resources to help you become a better blogger – and, something I really appreciate, works hard to help build community among aspiring bloggers.
As for me… well, I’m off to comment on some more blogs.
Thank you, Blogelina!
Glad your blog is doing so well. It’s always great to get feedback from readers. Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to check out Blogelina.

Hi Susan
I love the name of your blog. Starting a blog is tough, but the great thing about Blogelina is that it’s giving us newbies exposure.

If nobody wants to hear it, there’s a good chance it’s not really your voice. People hate fakers.
