It's honest and genuine and your not trying to fit into any kind of 'blog mold' if you know what I mean.<br />I feel that the blogs that I stick with are from girls who I have become close to and I have pretty much given up on 'commercial' blogs. I totally feel that my current blog roll does not reflect the kind of blog reader that I am (I wish I could start that part over but oh well!)<br />As for me and my blog- I never thought that anyone would really ever read it. I think it is pretty important that I write genuinely about myself and I have lost many readers over the course of writing my blog but the ones who stick around and read it I really feel a connection with. I read and reread every single comment and try to respond to many of them. Yes, my blog had some parts to do with my business but I try to make it fun and really and honest to who I am...I think that is really all you can do. It is kinda transparent when a blog isn't.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11057819158342683290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148210004079001896.post-23870461906819967702010-12-03T21:34:57.118-08:002010-12-03T21:34:57.118-08:00It's about the things that I like and am inspi...<i>It's about the things that I like and am inspired by.</i> <---- This. This is why I love reading your blog...it is genuine, funny, honest, and cute. I don't know you very well yet, but I feel like it's totally "you". :) That's all that matters to me, really. I do look at "commercial" blogs from time to time, but I tend not to come back to them if I don't feel a connection to the person who is writing. I think interaction is a big part of the whole thing. I mean, you can leave a comment at a big commercial blog, but you're just one of dozens or even hundreds of people doing so, and you never know if the person ever reads what you say. :/<br /><br />As for me, I don't really know what kind of blog I have...I guess it's sort of a hodgepodge. :) I sometimes feel like I'm just talking to myself when I'm posting, but I hope that eventually I'll get past that awkward feeling and "find my voice", so to speak. Maybe my posts will be more interesting then. ^^;<br /><br />xoxo<br />♥♥♥Elishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03100966332577304152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148210004079001896.post-66700288426318291652010-12-03T13:24:56.889-08:002010-12-03T13:24:56.889-08:00I like more personal blogs too.

I am a really private person so it feels kind of uneasy for me to really open up & post about certain things. I think I am pretty personal on my blog but there's definitely a line I draw. I've been burned really badly in the past on a previous blog I had on LJ from people who were claiming to be my "friends" so since then, I've more or less clammed up & have had an even harder time being super open. <br /><br />I wish that I didn't care & I wasn't like that but the reality is, I am & I can't help it. <br /><br />xxoocuppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11306894345965076541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148210004079001896.post-82120932090123560612010-12-03T12:33:27.092-08:002010-12-03T12:33:27.092-08:00I'm with you Heather!
