And I'm jealous that you're painting all the time but don't stop on my account. Blogging takes an entirely different kind of creative energy, so it's been my main outlet lately. I look forward to having the mental space to work on my art on a more regular basis. And I'd like to see what you've been working on. Sonya, you might want to email Chris, since my blog involved a bunch of custom configuration on my web server and I think his is simply a blogging service that is easy to sign up for. If you don't have his address, Chris' link is on my main page under "Friends & Neighbours" James, can you send me a link to your blog, even if it is dying a slow death.

I now click links to your blog and his whenever I check my email. It's got me thinking about starting my own blog. Any tips for the neophyte? I don't even know where to get started. And to James: I'm so happy you're painting, but the blog deserves to live! Like James, I no longer even bother reading the alerts. I now click links to your blog and his whenever I check my email.

The alerts aren't bad, but I don't read them anymore, I just use my own bookmark to get to the top of your blog. Your blog is fun and quirky and clever and good-looking. Kinda like you. My blog is dying a slow death due to all the time I'm spending painting. More soon, James Hi Ed

My blog is dying a slow death due to all the time I’m spending painting.

More soon,

I have really enjoyed the frequency, good procrastination technique!!! Under the assumption I'm one of your fave bloggers, I hope that you don't get too frustrated when I don't post every day :) <a href="http://www.dooce.com" rel="nofollow">This</a> is a really great blog that I read everyday. I find her hilarious! I love the pics! And the interesting stories. I have really enjoyed the frequency, good procrastination technique!!!

I know that there are a lot of people who prefer to do so. I lurk on a number of sites. Several people have sent email directly to me rather than posting comments. At this point I'm simply trying to figure out whether what I'm doing is working for the people who read the blog. It's generally working for me. I've been a bit concerned about the daily email broadcasts, though. Without feedback, I can't tell whether their frequency is annoying people. As for the random gifts, it's an idea I've been toying with for months, with no real way to implement it. Now that I have a regular readership, I can proceed. I don’t mind people lurking.

After some of those posts, there isn't necessarily anything clever (left) to say. As for feedback: I don't need the constant emails to tell me you've posted something new, unless it's been a year since your last post. I love the photos, and am quite enjoying your choice of topics. Have you thought of more personal content, like photos of yourself, friends, family, workplace, foldup bicycle? Someone asked me if you are still wearing your hair short/bald? I have no idea! How has lia adjusted to a year and a half of business-woman garb? Have you been to Japanese baths or hot springs? Are there new-agey Japanese doings!? What about fads? that green poop thing puts the spiral in spiral dragon. Next thing you know, it'll be a new motif in your art. Speaking of which, the art is a very nice highlight of the bog.

And as for your messages. I am open to having them arrive whenever you send them. I like short and sweet regular messages and enjoy the occasional longer messages but mainly just enjoy hearing from you whenever you get a chance to write and send them. I have only recently found out about your blog via Marilyn St. Marie and am enjoying your emailings. May you all be keeping well and happy. Cheers, Melvaa Hi Ed

You don't have a feed so I only visit as often as I remember to check through my blogs-to-read bookmarks, which lately hasn't been often.
