Malathionman – Thank you. And only you can answer your question.

Kyddryn – Thank you. As for the dangly bits, there ARE operations one can have if one truly desires to have them. Just ask Dave Fowler!

Pink Ink – Thank you. As for writing traffic driving things, I guess it all depends on your blogging goals. If you want to rake in cash, then I’m sure there are topics which lend to that. The only question is, is that what you want to write? As for me, I’m not counting on making money from this blog. I hope it will help me in other areas, though.

Melissa – Thank you, I appreciate the nice words.

Kip de Moll – tweet, tweet. Thank you, I appreciate the nice words. I have you on my blogs to visit this week list (along with other commenters here).

Reissa – Well, writing humor is hard for me. I’m sure to some people it might come easily. If not, you just have to work at it, or like me, find what works for you.

Betsy: That’s super funny. I had to read it twice, but the second time I guffawed.

Reissa: It’s definitely more about the words than the hits, but sometimes it is difficult to feel that with certainty.

Hello! I have been blogging for a number of years now. In blogging, I learned to know myself more, but as I roam around other blogger’s sites — i felt intimidated by the number of audience they are getting. I was blinded, and I guess I wanted to make a “name” back then… but as you said “writing humor is hard”. I pushed myself — but I could make things better, if I didn’t think of MORE hits or comments (hhaah). Expressing what comes first in one’s mind, may be the best after all.

Thanks for sharing! HAHA. Keep it up.

Blogger dad, we seem to be tweeters of a similar kind. Nicely written. I especially resonate with the last line. Kip de Molls last blog post..Time To Tell

Hi Blogger Dad! What an awesome story. I feel like every day is another step toward finding my writer's voice. In fact, it's one of the greatest challenges for many writers and takes a lot of practice and definitely requires the art of letting go. Personal stories like yours will help young and new writers find their voices. Nice work. Melissa Donovans last blog post..Writing for Animals

Sometimes I wonder if I should write about something to drive traffic...but whether or not it does, so long as someone says, "Me, too," it's a good day :-). I agree, letting our voice sing out is the surefire way of standing out in the blogging world. Good for you on finding your voice! Pink Inks last blog post..Day In the Sun

@WD – I think there should be a new angsta movement – an emo derivative.
@Kyddryn – which is the coolest name – did you know that song has it’s own wikipedia entry? Apparently it’s about Quentin Crisp. I am a Sting freak.

I want to be the next Blogger Dad. Or Writer Dad.

Oh, wait…oops…I don’t have the dangly bits. Dang. Story of my life.

Oh, well…guess I’ll just keep on bein’ me and hope for the best. I heart y’alls blogs (“y’all’s” is TOO a word!!), so you are doing something right…or wrong…probably because you aren’t pretentious.

To quote Sting…”Be yourself, no matter what they say…” (Englishman in New York, The Dream of the Blue Turtles, please tell me someone remembers that album besides me, or I may cry!)

Shade and Sweetwater,
