With my interest in writing, living a healthier lifestyle, and my torturous battle against social anxiety, she thought I'd appreciate your journey. This is only the 2nd post I've read and already I feel like I have found a "kindred spirit" as I am learning that I have found in Annette. You'll hear more from me in the near future, and I added you to my blog roll. For now, I have a lot more reading to do! I'll be reading your book too!

I get annoy when the blogger mostly put up guest posts after building a following. I understand the importance of guest posting for building pagerank, but if I haven't heard from the blogger in a month, then they are unsubscribe my Google reader. I rather have no posting for a while. Same here. I get annoy when the blogger mostly put up guest posts after building a following.

I guess I’ve been a member for a long time. I rarely publish more than 2 posts a week and sometimes I might even skip a week when I am busy. Sure, I would probably get more pageviews if I publish more or interact with the blogging community regularly. But my blog is very similar to my personality in real life. I tend to observe more than I talk. But when I have something to say, it takes a long time for me to shut up. I have a full time job. Blogging is only one of my many other hobbies. Once it stops being fun, then I will stop blogging. And it stops being fun when it starts to impact the other things I like to do in my life like exercising, reading, and actually spending time with people. As a blogger, nothing boosts your ego more than having a large subscriber count, comments, pageviews, or PR. But the way I figure it, slow and steady (just like in weight loss) still gets me to the finish line. I didn’t even know there is a slow blog movement. I guess I’ve been a member for a long time.

My fiance started a weight loss blog of his own to help get motivated to improve his health. It gives him a sense of accomplishment and a sense of obligation. He blogs daily about his mission to get into the best shape of his life by our wedding. I cook the meals and help him shop for everything and in the past 2 months he has lost over 30 pounds and I have lost about 12 pounds. If you have any advice or have some time stop by and check his blog out www.theheavymansdiary.blogspot.com . Keep up the great work!

Fun to read, honest, and inspiring! I've started a weight loss journey of my own, and a blog of my own too to chronicle it -- http://www.dontbejealous.com. And I'd like to think that mine is a slow blog. Mostly because the process itself is slow. In any case, any tips tricks and advice you have are helpful. It's because of people like you, and the community around your site and others, that I've been so inspired. Thank You Alexis I am so glad I found your blog! Fun to read, honest, and inspiring!

Yours is the only blog I check almost-daily, and it is well worth waiting for a new post, whenever it happens. Besides - I've not finished reading all of the old ones yet! I hope your new home is starting to feel a tiny bit like "home." I’m always happy to read what you have to say, at whatever pace you have to say it.

Related: I'm probably a minority of one, but I get frustrated at guest posts--I come to a blog because I like that writer; if he/she can't be there, that's okay, but don't push someone else off on me just to fill the space. There's one blog I love, but have stopped visiting more than about once monthly because of its author's tendency to use guest posts pretty often. Like others, I wouldn't mind hearing more about your life as a free lancer. It's kind of amazing how your life has changed in the last 5 years! Thank you!
