If you read a blog on your phone and then don't take the time to use your tiny keyboard to comment right then, you likely won't get back to it. And then instagram -- it lets you post a photo and add just a little blurb about it, rather than sitting down and doing a whole post on your blog. I too miss blogging days when we visited each other, back and forth. But I'm guilty of not engaging, myself. For me, it was the economy, and having to go back to work full time for many years now, that has given me so much less time to blog! Those were the good old days.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14256613312759056047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047480406231111832.post-22682688076050165612017-09-26T16:12:17.685-05:002017-09-26T16:12:17.685-05:00Hi Suz!!!

Between 2008 and 2011, I could not wait to visit blogs and make friends from so many different places. Yes, life has changed somewhat, but I miss those good old days. Now it seems most blogs are marketing tools only, or the format is not like good old blog spot. I am going to hop over to your blog now and comment.So good to hear from you. Hope to reconnect again in the future!<br />Summer Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373355196337731396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047480406231111832.post-90872987853094110032017-09-26T09:26:55.163-05:002017-09-26T09:26:55.163-05:00me too. what has happened to blogland?

Only the self indulgent...never caring to comment on a comment..are hanging in there. I am guilty too of this dropping off. Life has turned a different way and my life is not the same and I cant blog about some things.<br />I am hoping to pick it up again...find something to share<br />write again<br />hope to visit you again soon<br />suzSuzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329289442910294160noreply@blogger.com
