Come On Out And Play!
Posted on January 30, 2008 by Christine | 24 Comments
There has been a shocking lack of comments around here lately, so it is time to call out all the Blurkers! I’m declaring January 31, 2008 an International Comment on Blogs Day! No more blurking, you guys! Leave the feedreaders behind, hop on into the browser and say something. If you have a blog, you know it is nice to get comments – so really, shouldn’t you leave them too? I’m just sayin’…

Good point. I think I will update my blog to help pass on this “Comment on Blogs Day”…

I’m de-blurking early because I won’t be able to comment tomorrow. I love your blog and hearing about how well your photography business is doing. I also admit to hovering in wait for your next podcast–I do miss Pointy Sticks and your great accent! Keep up your excellent work, and don’t forget to mention the knitting once in a while!

So there… now to try and get my blog pretty that is my next trick out of the hat (goddamn css, hosting and changing rights or some crap like that…)

loves it when people de-lurk,l but also when they have something intelligent to say, or at least semi-relevant, even if it’s dumb, afterall :p

Okay, you guilted me into this early. (Perhaps you’ll get a bonus de-blurking comment tomorrow, too.)
In my defense… I typically check blogs while at work (those that aren’t firewall blocked). Because of this same firewall fun, I rarely see images. All this to say that it has to be highly entertaining for me to comment. Or guilt inducing.

Hey, just had to say that you site name is awesome. I was thinking today “I wonder if anyone thought of that?”
Well, awesome, congrats on a cool blog and cool blog name.

I’m here – I just use an RSS reader for all the sites I follow so my commenting has been scarce! Have you been blurking on my site or my flickr? Haven’t seen you leave me any comments either! I do try to leave lots of comments on Flickr, though!

I wonder when blurking will be in the Oxford English Dictionary. Hello.
January 30th, 2008 @ 5:19 pm
Does it count as delurking even if I comment somewhat normally?
Because it should.
January 30th, 2008 @ 5:28 pm
okay, i’ll de-lurk…but only if you podcast again, soon! yours is one of my favorites to listen to, and i’ve missed it! pleeeeease?
January 30th, 2008 @ 10:01 pm
I’ll delurk early, too.
Think of how many comments you’d get if you offered big pink cookies as prizes.

Hi…I am one of those sheepish ones that has been following along since I really started knitting (when I moved for grad school)…and now I’m hooked on your photos! Your blog was one of the first ones I started to read regularly, so I guess I should do as you command and delurk now that I’m not so shy anymore. Thanks for all the inspiration over the last year and a half. =)

Big as life and twice as ugly, I am de-lurking. I chanced upon your podcast on Zune’s suggested podcasts for knitters; I am, as they say, hooked.

Of course if after posting this on my own site I fail to garner any comments I may become despondent.

Hurray! Today is also National Gorilla Suit Day! Hurray!

Jim: I say again, it’s NOT a gorilla suit…

I agree with Cecily – now that we’ve all commented, how about a new podcast episode????
I’ll be watching for a comment from you in my blog.

The Bald Heretic sent me. Y’all just rattled my chain.

Another one that followed Jay Lee in
Sadly, I’m having difficulty convincing my bosses that this is a major international holiday for which I need to be granted a free day off to comment on blogs.

Well, I’m one to join in on a party.
Here’s my comment- wow, there’s a lot of white on this blog.

Yeah, I’m with Jay. I get so few comments anyway, I’m afraid if I do this no one will say anything. So I’m going to wait until my birthday in April and guilt people into commenting. Eh, whatever works.
