I LOVE the big community events, especially BBAW and the Readathon (which I'm already making book piles for!). I've only been blogging through one Bloggiesta so far, but I'm excited for the next one and really hope it happens. I got SO much done and learned some great stuff during the last one!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429588794754369453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-54781312363759578102011-09-15T22:30:15.104-05:002011-09-15T22:30:15.104-05:00I love challenges and I too can't get enough o...I love challenges and I too can't get enough of them!

Oh, and I only joined like three challenges... and apparently for me that was overdoing it! Not the best at commitment especially in blogging, but oh well. :)Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14025977978080091819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-60715666154827257252011-09-15T16:48:38.720-05:002011-09-15T16:48:38.720-05:00Scoping out other bloggers' blogrolls and comm...Scoping out other bloggers' blogrolls and comments was a big source of new blogs for me early on, too.

Not attempting to do the 24 hours (don't want these circles under my eyes to get any darker), but I can't wait to participate.<br /><br />There is so much emphasis on commenting in the community and I agree it's important--who doesn't love comments. I often have too much guilt over it and have to recognize that we can only do what we can do. In reference to your comment yesterday, you're a wonderful commenter Lisa. And I truly appreciate your responding to comments. But yes, blogging does a body good, huh? ;)Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-34304109483574315022011-09-15T10:27:14.243-05:002011-09-15T10:27:14.243-05:00That's great advice!

It's not even really about getting people back to your blog, it's about making ties to the community and having relationships with people. I find that I have made so many friends in blogging through commenting alone, and even if I am slow to start joining in challenges or readathons, I know that there are a lot of people who I just enjoy visiting everyday. Very wise post today!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-21223315832118169592011-09-15T06:33:48.297-05:002011-09-15T06:33:48.297-05:00Great post Lisa.

I haven't been able to work on the community part of book blogging with meme's, events, etc... I am starting to re-engage!<br /><br />Thanks for the shout out - I do love the friendships I have made with a few bloggers. Women I know I would be fast friends with if we lived near each other.mpartykahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058880500554363163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-88626290791414721682011-09-15T00:50:25.431-05:002011-09-15T00:50:25.431-05:00I have been remiss in stopping by here lately. So...I have been remiss in stopping by here lately. So sorry! I got behind when I was on vacation and now I can't seem to catch up. UGH! <br /><br />I remember that you were among probably the first 10-20 bloggers that I met and started following. So it has been two years that we've "known" each other. I've really enjoyed our interaction and I hope it lasts for a long time. =O) I'm looking forward to Dewey's too. And, of course, my Frightful Fall Read-a-Thon is the first week in October. I'm hosting it over at my new horror review blog, just for ambience. LOL! <br /><br />Anyway, I know all about AWOL. A lot of people probably think I am, that's for sure!<br /><br />TTYLMichelle Stockard Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03572227726980569386noreply@blogger.com
