I love having followers, just like any other writer/blogger. But I want not just "followers", but READERS who are not only willing to read or even (with luck) glance at my pages, but are willing to say something constructive about the piece.
If you notice on the left of my page, you will see that my FOLLOWERS/Google Reader list's numbers have dropped DRAMATICALLY.
Why?
Because I went on and removed all those "followers" that were using me as a "look at how many I follow" tool, and those that spammed my pages with "I followed, now follow me back" BS.
If you are going to REALLY read my stuff and at least make an EFFORT to comment here and there, then by all means join my page! But if I'm just a tool or "numbers game" to you, then really, I do NOT want you to click the "Follow" button.
On ANY of my three blogs...
Here.
The (Not Always Happy Homemaker Diary.
Or on my newest creation, The "Mental"-ist Mom.
If you know me well, then you know me well enough to get it that I am not in to FAKE people, users or SPAMMERS.
So, if you are one of those three kinds, then please, don't bother my page, get my hopes up or waste my precious time.

Still following! Although, I admit I counted over 50 on my blog list; which covers "all of me"... the good, the bad, and the "ugly." I can barely manage one! let alone three...
Hats off to all "three of you"; do I need to add two more?? :)
If you wish to Brenda! If you like it, then go for it. No pressure.
You are a better blogger and follower than me. I probably follow 200 blogs and only read 50 of them regularly. If I find something I like, I follow it and I may forget to return until an interesting post pops up on my dashboard. I should be better, I know. But there are just too many great blogs out there and I'm easily distracted. You are, of course, one of those I follow regularly!
