You are right - the biggest follow count on blogs, doesn't always mean legit, real readers. I know many who have high follow counts and their blogs are less than decent. On the other hand, I know MANY bloggers who I feel, if quality meant quantity, than they should be rolling in the follower dough (so to speak). <br /><br />Nicole Pyleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06920135146911951755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-55428827002442356532013-02-22T14:00:28.277-08:002013-02-22T14:00:28.277-08:00Sue,

Sometimes you wonder if maybe you're the only one thinking this. I remember thinking this way many years ago in reference to the so called literary classics, too. I just didn't get the hype over some of them either. Thanks for sharing your insight. I'm thinking we should form our own cool kids group of a different variety. :) Karen Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-53153031669004795432013-02-20T07:42:07.896-08:002013-02-20T07:42:07.896-08:00quietspirit,
