I do a bit of both--follow some of those who follow me, but like Coltpixy, I do follow others that I'm just interested in the subject being blogged about, not really expecting them to follow me back.<br /><br />I will have to check out the ones you listed. I'm always interested in new things about polymer clay.

Impressive. I've never really thought about reciprocal following being a blogland standard. I follow a very small number of blogs and will even regularly read a blog for a long time before I follow it.<br /><br />I don't follow every blog that follows mine, but I truly appreciate anyone following mine! There are lots of blogs I follow who don't follow me back and I don't expect them to.<br /><br />I like to reply to my comments, especially if someone asks me a question. And if they have an email address in their profile I'll respond to their question by email just to be sure they see the answer.Meg@MegaCraftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13368362538043182559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3125562450797334585.post-3082902170480502282011-09-16T16:47:30.196-07:002011-09-16T16:47:30.196-07:00I'm not savvy about blog following etiquette, ...I'm not savvy about blog following etiquette, I guess. I just follow those I enjoy and don't even notice if others don't reply to my comments on their blogs. I don't follow nearly as many as you, Marlene, I just enjoy the work of those I follow and feel I've met their creative artistic muses. Like you, I often come away "inspired with my imagination stretched, and have learned and laughed". If we connect any further on a more personal level, it's always a huge bonus. Again, I'm not very savvy about this. To be honest, I don't even know what Google Reader is! I just put the blogs I like on my sidebar "My Blog List" set to allow the most recently updated to rise to the top. I start at the top, visit them each day going down and stop when I come to the last one I saw yesterday. This works well for me. I think that like everything in computer-land, there are probably a half-dozen ways to get the most out of blogging, and what works well for some might not be the best for others. I think it's important not to make it a demanding chore, and to that end I try to keep the ones I follow to my favorites. In spite of me not being a polymer artist, Marlene, you are one of those.<br />And I might add, for a number of reasons beyond your artistic talent. <br />Did you say "Halloween Blitz"? Yay, bring it!!!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12621581899286806108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3125562450797334585.post-17346216672085977092011-09-16T15:50:50.857-07:002011-09-16T15:50:50.857-07:00wow I thought I followed a lot of blogs but you fo...wow I thought I followed a lot of blogs but you follow more than double the ones I do - I just haven't found them yet. It is such a source of inspiration! I try to catch up over lunch or I find my morning disappears. It's always such a treat to sit down and find out what's happening in the blog world. I use google reader too, means I can tag things and find them again! Been using Pinterest for a while now andfind that handy to colelct pictures of things I want to remember from blogs and flickr too. I don't worry about whether or not people follow me but then I don't follow as many as you so it's not a problem for me - yet! Off to hunt down some of those polymer clay blogs now....Cara Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15046071099604009595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3125562450797334585.post-16225349463954583922011-09-16T09:38:43.666-07:002011-09-16T09:38:43.666-07:00In the words of Coltpixy, "I do not follow pe...In the words of Coltpixy, "I do not follow people because they follow me nor do I expect them to return the favor.

I am not sure how many I follow but I never knew that about blogger dropping some blogs after you reach 300. I don't think I follow 300 though. I have dropped people who don't follow me back or don't ever respond to my comments. Unless of course, it is the Pioneer Woman! Ha! Then I don't care if she follows me back or not. Why is that I wonder?Roberta Warshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09869094383053871169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3125562450797334585.post-81009600941844859382011-09-16T04:30:19.291-07:002011-09-16T04:30:19.291-07:00I follow a LOT of blogs.

Wordpress or any other blog with an RSS feed can be put into it. <br /><br />My interests vary. While some are polymer clay there are various other artistic media as well as gardening and many other topics. Many of the blogs I follow are cooking blogs because I love to cook. <br />I do not follow people because they follow me nor do I expect them to return the favor. I just follow the ones I like to read. Yours is one of my favorites. I love your sense of humor... and I love your creations.coltpixyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08718763851184482836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3125562450797334585.post-42621251760014165382011-09-16T02:18:31.194-07:002011-09-16T02:18:31.194-07:00Hi Marlene,

I never sleep in on weekends as I am always eager to jump out of bed, get my coffee, and check out the blogs. I scroll through exactly as you described.Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.com
