The social aspect of blogging is the best thing! I've made some great friends through the years.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I get the anonymous trolling commenters, I wonder how they made it through the spam filters.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a pleasant surprise to learn how many of us know *exactly* how many entries we have! I hate the anonymous trolls too, but their comments are never *posted* to blogspot, just sent to my email address
ReplyDeleteI got frustrated with those spam comments and just deleted the entire comment option on my big blog. Who needs that taking up database space?
ReplyDeleteLuckily I haven't had a troll yet but I always see them on youtube comments and such. They are annoying but I guess as long as people "feed" them, they will keep coming back. Sad. I do agree with your favorite part about blogging, too!
