Blogging can be SO time consuming, especially if you are posting photos and reviews on a daily basis. I had to really cut back on computer time to refocus on other areas of my life that were being neglected and also focus on some work-related projects. I have personally found it extremely liberating to not feel enslaved to my laptop, although it can be disheartening to see numerous comments left on other blogs while yours has none or only a handful. I think you just have to do what is best for you!<br /><br />As for losing followers: I have lost 3 or 4 at one time and know that it is hard not to feel upset. Please try not to let it bother you...I think your blog is great, and I don't plan to stop followin. :)Melissa@AllThingsSimplifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076948687302539385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748516156763635884.post-68264349996821623002009-05-14T19:59:00.000-04:002009-05-14T19:59:00.000-04:00:( I understand how you feel, it's easy to take bl...:( I understand how you feel, it's easy to take blog stuff personally! One time I lost a friend on Facebook, and I don't know who it was, but it was weird to think of someone going online and deciding to delete me as their friend! Hang in there, I like your blog and appreciate all the effort you put into it!!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812609583288803117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748516156763635884.post-57145328432710911982009-05-14T16:12:00.000-04:002009-05-14T16:12:00.000-04:00Take care of yourself first!!!

I myself am not a fan of some of THE most popular blogs out there- they just aren't for me. Additionally, people may "unfollow" (I'm really not sure what this following business is or its importance) for many reasons- honestly, I have 36 unread posts from your blog in my reader right now. Doesn't mean I'm not interested, just means that I haven't had time to go through them. <br />Don't beat yourself up about it.Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755635462859667782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748516156763635884.post-80433181994340587932009-05-13T13:48:00.000-04:002009-05-13T13:48:00.000-04:00I've just recently discover your blog and have bee...I've just recently discover your blog and have been checking in daily.

I also think that for new blogs and those with lower numbers, like mine, it makes people less likely to sign on. The pack mentality in blog form. Who knows. Try not to take it personally.

We'll be waiting when you return. :)<br /><br />Don't stress about the follower leaving. I lost one this week, too. And yes, you do take it personally ("oh, ok, fine, whatever..."), but I try to remember that followers have things going on in their lives and sometimes they need to change things up. The best you can do is stay true to yourself and make yourself happy!HeidiGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335791412412897005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748516156763635884.post-66336604898517464952009-05-13T07:49:00.000-04:002009-05-13T07:49:00.000-04:00Ahhh no!

If it is any consilation, I got my first very negative anonymous comment yesterday that was rather stinging-seriously I think sometimes people fail to realize it is an actual person on the other end, because I doubt they would ever do some of these things face to face. But like with anything just brush off the dust and move on, it is important you do your blog more for you than for anyone else. I think your blog is fantastic personally!Jemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09918380458397747075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748516156763635884.post-64350535627319050772009-05-12T21:49:00.000-04:002009-05-12T21:49:00.000-04:00It seems that many people are facing these issues ...It seems that many people are facing these issues right now.
