It's how I got Michael Corley and H.P. as valued followers, according to what they have shared here at Pen & Prosper.<br /><br />It's a win/win situation for the giver and receiver. :-)Jennifer Brown Bankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15525705931988259779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-21814091024379870332012-08-06T12:37:04.469-07:002012-08-06T12:37:04.469-07:00Yasmin,

I do think though, that more than that, many people just don't recognize the value of their feedback.<br /><br />Blogging is all about connecting. That's why bloggers "go public" in terms of sharing their words and works.<br /><br />Besides, no need to fear. Blog owners are not English teachers, nodding their heads in disapproval for minor errors made and grammatical issues.<br /><br />At the end of the day...we just want to hear from our readers. :-)Jennifer Brown Bankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15525705931988259779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-9672539017042090502012-08-06T10:54:54.687-07:002012-08-06T10:54:54.687-07:00Hi Jennifer,

So many times when I've thought about giving up on blogging, there comes along a thoughtful comment with new knowledge or points of view that I had not thought of. Also, your post got me thinking about the fact that there are many "shy" readers out there who, while they enjoy our blog posts, just feel too timid to leave a comment. As well, from my stats, I see that I get hits from so many different parts of the world, and I think about the fact that perhaps persons whose first language is not English may not feel confident to comment. Lastly, your post made me resolve to comment more on as many blogs as I can, going forward. Also want to congratulate you on passing the 300 post milestone!Yasminhttp://www.poetsofthecaribbean.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-80316292791761281612012-08-05T05:10:34.396-07:002012-08-05T05:10:34.396-07:00Hi Linda,

(There is also an actual Donate Button on the Great Links page.) I do think that this can work both way's as a <i>Mutual Support System,</i> <br /><br />For example when you also have a Donation Button on your own Blog, and I see for example because of something you did, I experienced a sudden spike in my amount of Vitisors that also actually rusulted in some extra sales, or I really liked a Blogpost you did etc. etc., than chanses are that without any obligation, and also because it's a rather <i>'Hassle Free'</i> system, I might become somewhat motivated to donate a little here and there, since I am not against your prosperity. I do think that that way it migth be possible to create - Mutual Support - and Win/Win situations.HP van Duurenhttp://hpshappywriting2.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-32574724645134845352012-08-03T17:25:18.157-07:002012-08-03T17:25:18.157-07:00This is such a positive and encouraging post!

It is time consuming to maintain a good blog, and it takes commitment and a whole lot more, and not just on the writing side. I'd have to say blogging is similar to raising a child. Only children usually grow up and leave home. :) <br /><br />These are good tips, Jennifer. Thank you.
