Love Our Lurkers IV

If you're a lurker -- a reader who hasn't commented in the past -- today is your day.

Bonnie of bottomsmarts is sponsoring her fourth Love Our Lurkers day to encourage readers who don't usually post to say hello. You'll find a lot of bloggers participating and we're all inviting you to become active members of our community.

I understand the value of lurkers day because a year ago, I was a lurker who decided to sign up (it's easy to do) and start commenting after I was encouraged to try it on lurkers day. A year later, I have my own blog, which I never expected to happen.

You'll find this a very welcoming community because we all like to get feedback from our readers. The comments give us the idea that we're connecting with our readers.

So give it a try. Say hello. Tell us about yourself. We'll be happy to hear from you.

  1. Dear Florida Dom:

    Although we know one another's minds a little, I don't think I've ever commented here before. So, 'love our lurkers day' seemed like a good place to start.

    Compliments of the day!

  2. FD,
    You have come a long way in a year. You are a good friend and I enjoy reading all you write. It's very nice to hear a man's point of view.

    Hugs,

  4. Vesta: I enjoy your blog. You express yourself well in painting a vivid picture of your relationship. Thanks for stopping by and saying hello.

    PK: Finding friends like you in the cyber world is one of the reasons I'm glad I stopped being a lurker. I'm glad you find it interesting to read a man's point of view. And many cyber hugs to you too.

    Ronnie: You're another friend I've made since I stopped lurking. Thanks for stopping by and much love back to you.

    And all you lurkers who are reading this, don't be shy. Say hello to me and other bloggers. And don't be hesitant to say hello just because many of us are friends. I'm sure you'll find we all like to meet new people and are very welcoming.

  8. Hello!! You're newly added to my blog list...which is kind of weird cuz I've seen you commenting at many of the same blogs I read, and I have yet to comment to a blog. I'm sure I will eventually.

  10. Hi!
    I am a lurker here (but terribly chatty on some other sites) I think I am just a little shy here, but it is LOL day so I suppose there is no excuse today not to say hello.
    Hello.

  20. FD, I hadn't heard of Love Our Lurkers day before, but think it's a great idea.

    As a blogger it's great to know people are out there and keep coming back.

    I find it's also helpful to find new blogs I might be interested in as you can search on the commenter and see if they blog too. I've found many a good blog this way.

    Happy LOL day!
