How many times have you found a post or blog that you like, click follow, and then never hear from them again?
Occasionally, like this morning, I go to the Blogs I Follow list and click on different blogs just to see what they’re up to. Often, I see that they have not posted in the past 2 to 6 months–I wonder why? Did something happen to them? Did life get in the way? Should I secretly mourn they’re passing? I know I took about a month off between posts to take care of things in my life but I didn’t go away, I still read other posts.
Now, just as everyone doesn’t like all of my posts, sometimes I don’t like all of someone else’s. We’re that way. We like what we like, when we like it. But that doesn’t mean I’m not interested in a blog overall. I am, otherwise, why would I expect to see someone? Why else would I look for their perspective?
At one point, they captured my attention but now they’re gone.
Shane, or whoever you are, come back. Oh! What’s that shiny thing over there? Is that another blog I might be interested in?

I totally understand. What is worse is the people that I followed but then have only been posting links and reblogs. If I wanted to read those blogs, I’d follow them. (& I usually already do anyway).

I really like your point of view…it understands that while we may disagree on political constructions we share a common humanity. It’s rare to see and a pleasure to discover.

Gah I feel you. I’ve only been blogging for about two months now, but out of nearly a 100 blogs I follow only about 10-20 actually update? Everyone I’ve followed I’ve been incredibly interested in hearing more from…but alas they are never around. I figured it was a beginning of the year resolution for these people that just didn’t keep up its steam.
