I just blog because I want to and I quite like that its a virtual diary for me to look back on. I don't push myself to blog so many times or anything, I just do it when I have something to say or something is going on. And I am so with you on followers, I have very few but that doesn't bother me as the ones I do have are fab and leave me lovely comments!!!<br /><br />xgiddynicihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11229922979218643607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948029434624152319.post-55730648834680421502010-05-05T16:39:07.649+01:002010-05-05T16:39:07.649+01:00The lipstick looks gorgeous on you.

I wasn't begging for more followers/readers. I was just stating the fact that the media/press seem to always mention the same bloggers when other people also deserve to be known. Not for the "fame" or anything but because they also bring something to the community. I've decided to feature links and a blog each week on mine. It's not like I have 100,000 hits a month but I thought it'd help some get out there and not get discouraged and stop blogging. It can be a little frustrating sometimes when you blog and never get comments. Just wanted to clear that up. :)Blog to be Alivehttp://www.blogtobealive.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948029434624152319.post-77040494396631961092010-05-05T11:08:24.401+01:002010-05-05T11:08:24.401+01:00I completely agree with what quite a few of you ar...I completely agree with what quite a few of you are saying here, I only started blogging a few months ago and have my humble little blog as a record for me and its my own little world and if anyone would like to dip in at any point then thats fantastic :) I can spend hours reading other peoples blogs and feel inspired by peoples findings and ideas. I think blogging is a wonderful escape and a lovely little world (well in my experience so far anyway :) )<br /><br />xxLizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881098012151815643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948029434624152319.post-89081884088345353162010-05-05T07:13:34.077+01:002010-05-05T07:13:34.077+01:00woo-hoo! congrats on the feature hun! well deserve...woo-hoo! congrats on the feature hun! well deserved!BBMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08890771183134339047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948029434624152319.post-21296092198791221332010-05-05T03:59:20.225+01:002010-05-05T03:59:20.225+01:00I love the fact you got a make over [well change]....I love the fact you got a make over [well change]. I use mac and pretty much nothing else so its always helpful to have someone else's opinion. I kinda don't have the ability to say no face to face. <br /><br />Also, i get what you mean about the blogging world, I only follow blogs that I am truly intrested in, not just because they have tons of followers. I mean, I have a blog but I never ever expect people to follow. Its my own little world, it is nice but it's not the end of the world if i never get any followers. <br /><br />don't let it get you down,. from what I can tell, you love blogging so don't let that stop you...plus I love your advice and tips!<br /><br />xxxxxladxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00358600272985490595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948029434624152319.post-6272936270979775902010-05-05T01:24:51.489+01:002010-05-05T01:24:51.489+01:00Haha, I've never met your mum but I like her!

I had a 100 Followers Giveaway, but really I just wanted any excuse to do one - I certainly didn't milk the fact, or try to bribe new followers :) I'm totally with you - if I don't like a blog anymore, I'll just unfollow, and it's not the end of the world. Just some bloggers really seem to take it to heart, which is a pity!<br />HAHA that's happened to me before - my friend Jamilah does PR at uni, and she has a social media class where they have to create a blog - and they use MINE as an example! I'd be so embarassed if I was in that class, haha! <33<br /><br />Gazel: Thank you! xxx<br /><br />Fushball: Yeah it's always nice to have a new follower or comment, but it's when people harp on and on about it that gets me. xx<br /><br />Daniel: You knows I love you too :) You're a very dear friend, and your blog is one of my favourites <333<br /><br />Alex: Thanks :) xxx<br /><br />girlinthecity: Awww thank you so much. I just adore Edinburgh, I can really see myself living there one day. I even applied to uni at QMU but I was worried the commute to town would be too far every morning. I've never been to Glasgae, but always wanted to go! (Your fellow Weegie writes a book review blog here if you're interested: http://book-odyssey.blogspot.com/)<br />I'm glad you like Newcastle too - it'll always feel like home to me.

I do see how many people are following mine and always feel flattered that so many people would, but I don't feel under pressure to talk about it or celebrate getting to a certain number. And I don't feel too sad if people unsubscribe - I unsusbscribe to blogs all the time if my interests change or they change! I blog for me and I think that is the secret to a happy blog. <br /><br />My blog got put up on the big projector in Uni the other week! I was so embarrassed at first, but then my tutor was going on about how it's good to blog blah blah blah. So then I felt a bit better. Still, there are certain people I would let know and certain people I keep it a secret from.

But there's loads of bloggers whose family and even partners don't know they blog. It's still got a bit of a stigma attatched of giving yourself to the worrysome internet ;)<br /><br />doublevodkacoke: Aww thank you! And I'm definately agreeing with the 'don't like, don't read' mantra :)<br /><br />Danni and Maria: I really don't get 'self-centred' from you at all!
