YOUR VOTE COUNTS!
Well, most of the time. Not so much if you're a Democrat in Utah, but that's another soapbox for another time.
I really just want to know your opinions on some
"blogging etiquette"
What are your thoughts on comments, should you post one to someone you don't know? How about someone you know, but aren't that close to or haven't seen in a while?
Do you think that people will really come and find you if you post too much info on your blog? What's too much?
Post your comments. I am just curious to what other people think, so I don't want to say what I think, yet. And don't worry that I will think you are a
blog-stalking-random-comment-posting-psycho, because I think I might be one too!

I'm too scared to post on people I don't know yet. I posted once and everyone just ignored my comment so that pretty much turned me off of that type. I think that if someone wants to get info on you, they'll get it. I certainly wouldn't post something along the lines of "My kids sit at home all alone between the hours of 3 and 5pm and my house is totally unlocked." That seems a little careless but using your child's real names or putting pictures on your site is totally safe to me. I'm not paranoid or narcissistic enough to think that someone is actually following me around reading my blog. And if someone was, they wouldn't need my blog to get the information they want. That's what the bushes outside my house are for.
I haven't left a post on someone's site that I don't know. However, I do like to link to other blogs and just read and look at pictures. It does seem weird though to be able to just look at a strangers life and family and read their daily diary. I think that people who want to have other's look at their site keep it public on purpose and the must take into consideration the risks of crazy people! Of course, I'M not crazy :)
Okay I wouldn't post on someone I didnt know especially if it was about how cute their kids are or something of that nature(Even though I am guilty of looking at others I dont know). I definitly would post on someone I havent seen in awhile or someone Im not that close to just because I LOVE getting comments (is that vain?)it makes me happy plus it nice to catch up with old friends. I think blogging personal info is generally safe due to the thousands of blogs out there but there are tons of crazys out there too. I know, I work in a pyschiatric unit. Seems like to me that a crazy stalker is not likely to think "hmmm I feel like finding a new victem lets go look at blogs" chances are you run into him at wallmart and he follow you home.
Hey Summer, Lindsay here. I love your ode to Rio, and I love that his middle name is Cruz. I'm pretty sure that I knew that but I had forgotten until I was reading your blog the other day. I love it. Anyways, about the posting, I wouldn't post on someone I didn't know, but I would on someone I hadn't seen in a long time.
comments are the best!!!!! my sil once said comments are closely linked to her self esteem-i feel the same! my other sil is darn vain and thinks there's tons of blurkers out there just dying for her next post. i say, comment away on whomever you chose. if they're not private then it's a free for all. :)plus, i say any personal info is great, just be real (like you always are-but lots of others aren't) and wtf???? tell me to shut up. i am totally rambling. but i love you, your kids, your blog, and your bows!!!! :)
Here's my two cents.
I don't post on other blogs I don't know, I just check out basically friends and family. But...I have had a few people that I havn't see for years leave a comment on my blog and I was so happy to hear from them!
I don't know what is "too much info" I agree with what Alisa said, just don't add to much detail. I have to admit I have had the same questions, so great post, it helped me out too!
You're comment cracked me up by the way! The next time you ladies go give me a buzz!
I'm kind of with the "they'll follow you home from Wal Mart" mentality. (or Target in your case!) I LOVE looking at other people's blogs, whether I know them or not. But I usually only leave comments if I talk to that person on a regular basis anyway, or if it's a really "famous" blog where everyone leaves comments. I think it's lame when there are comments from people that haven't bothered to call me in like a year, but leave messages on my blog like, "We need to get together!" What the? Pick up the freakin' phone and call me. Honestly.
P.S. We DO need to get together! After Expo is over this weekend I am a free woman!
I love to read comments. You know people are reading your blog, they tell you when you see them but, it would be nice to receive a comment from them. I usually don't have a lot of time, I like to look and catch up with people's blogs and usually have good intentions in leaving a comment but, most of the time I don't... We love you summer and you have a great family. I can't believe Rio is 3... Where does the time go-
I love posting and the blog scene. If it wasn't for some of my friends starting I don't think I would've started. Plus if it wasn't for blogging I wouldn't be able to see and catch up on what you and your family is doing, since we are suck @&% friends and don't hang out. I made a comment on someones blog that I do know that I linked from someone else and they just ignored me, but that is ok because I would rather be the stalker blogger. BLOG on my friend....
hey there! thanks for stalking me, i stalk you too sometimes. here's my take. if i start to read someone's blog regularly then i usually let them know by introducing myself in a comment and letting them know how i got there and why i like to read their blog. i get really annoyed when i see how many hits i have from people i don't know-don't know why but it sorta creeps me out. and what blogger doesn't live for comments?!
your kids are so stinking cute, love their names, love their faces. and i'm going to take you up on a babybling hook-up asap-i just can't decide on colors. i've been visiting indie on the bow-builder weekly and just can't figure out what to do...
I must say my only comment here is that sarcastic comments are offensive.
Hi. I'm a longtime friend of Lindsey Jorgensen's. I've seen your blog a couple of times because you comment on Lindsey's. I really love your kid's names a lot! Anyway, thought I would just say that I look at other's blogs all the time. I don't ever read anyone's that doesn't uplift and inspire me, and that's my only rule. And I think people like getting encouraging comments from other moms in their same situation. I am never annoyed at strangers leaving them. Have a good day!
I obviously think it's ok because we don't really know each other but we used to be neighbors so I'm ashamed for not meeting you but also think you family is so freakin cute that I thought it would be a shame not to comment. Plus, my husband always thought "the skateboarding kid's" were so cool-so there is admiration there as well for all your fam's hard work.
