My comment on comments

The best part of a blog meal is not the opening post. The post itself is just the appetizer. The real tasty part in a good blog is the comments. I am not talking 100 comments plus, that's just stuffing yourself. Who can consume all that? I like my comments in small portions. It gives you a sense of who your guests to dinner really are. I joined blogmad yesterday so more guests can come sit at the table. I am not sure how well that experiment will go. Quantity of visitors does not seem to be adding to the menu. I have my regular talented commentators adding their spice. Maybe that's all the food for thought I need. Please feel free to add your piece of pie.

be creative

I love getting to know the people who come to visit. Aside from spewing my thought to the world, it's the best part of blogging.

I'm here from Blogmad myself. I'm seeing more traffic as a result, but not all of the visitors comment. Sometimes in blogdom, you just toil in obscurity *sigh*

Welcome Andrea,Cube,gareth and anonymous. Nice to meet you. May I introduce Ocean and Barbara B. my regular guests at the table.
Thank you Ocean for the banana pudding and the vase. Nice touch.
I think you can tell I was hungry when I posted this. I will visit the new guests' blogs when I finish work for the day. I am home for lunch at the moment and my time online is short.
I agree Barbara B. maybe you could check out blogmad.net if you want more traffic. Not that you need it.
I finally figured out how to put my silly mug on my profile. I am so slow to learn this sometimes.
I have a new link for fun called are you bored? try it if you are bored.

A blog post without a witty, erudite or pithy comment is like haddock and chips without the mushy peas - incomplete. But, in the final analysis it's all about quality not quantity.

Jazz. I invite you to add a helping of mushy peas!
