You definitely have a compelling story that keeps people coming back for more!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180006151421348693.post-54051209375366434592013-11-09T06:41:24.706-08:002013-11-09T06:41:24.706-08:00I LOVE reading your blog.

I keep seeing people reference SprinklerBandit's blog on this, and I'm sort of afraid to read it and end up feeling like I don't do it right either! But the truth is, I write the blogs for me. It is always fun to have someone give encouraging comments or commiserate every once in a while, but going back to re-read my earliest blogs on my horses has reminded me that I really did this a journal. I love that I have documented my horse journey, and that is what matters. But in your case, people clearly enjoy your story!LittleRedMarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07925418478175199409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180006151421348693.post-69695328542494940052013-11-07T12:19:07.296-08:002013-11-07T12:19:07.296-08:00I love your blog!

I love that about you! I try to meet the requirements for my blog and I think I have less regular readers than you do. I think the reason mine doesn't draw a bigger crowd is because I don't compete, so it's probably boring lol. Like everyone else said, blog because you love it. That's what is important!<br /><br />P.S. Yay about Novice!! Good luck at the show! I look forward to reading about it even if there are no pictures. ;)Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180006151421348693.post-55683285935980276882013-11-06T17:32:55.084-08:002013-11-06T17:32:55.084-08:00Good luck moving up and enjoy!!Good luck moving up and enjoy!!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15925650148327532110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180006151421348693.post-90196469944033594802013-11-06T15:22:04.256-08:002013-11-06T15:22:04.256-08:00I think we all have our own blog styles, and that&...I think we all have our own blog styles, and that's ok.

Plus if every blog I read was the same why would I have to read more than 1? as L said we blog for ourselves - or I do. And if someone doesn't like it then they don't have to read it. <br /><br />I will admit to being a sucker for pictures though! :)<br /><br />Good luck at Novice! :)Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02884053627728391449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180006151421348693.post-15967900007758930032013-11-06T10:21:27.566-08:002013-11-06T10:21:27.566-08:00I don't follow the rules either, lol.

I try to make mine enjoyable for others to read, but in the end it is a chronicle of me and Shy. Keep up the good work!

Unless you are trying to make your blog pay for your life, why conform to someone else's laundry list of what arbitrarily makes a good blog? Be you, do you. You is what you are good at :) L.Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05052638724440787772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180006151421348693.post-62941655706126509332013-11-06T08:46:54.362-08:002013-11-06T08:46:54.362-08:00Your blog is actually one of my favorites!

Some bloggers don't post enough and I feel as if I've wasted my time reading it when it says absolutely nothing.<br /><br />Yay novice!Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05303236534507171227noreply@blogger.com
