I would love for it to happen automatically, without me having to do anything about it. So much easier. I just need to take the time to sit down and figure it out. One of these days.<br /><br />I see a marked difference in the number of commenters I have when I send an email around to some of the Yahoo loops I'm on and when I don't. People have been really good in supporting me. So I know that #3 is important; you have to promote every blog you write. I just hate the idea of constantly bombarding people with emails. When I get more familiar with Facebook, and eventually Twitter, I hope to send out regular messages and lure people in that way.<br /><br />JanaJana Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624650840243322617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4209934041722758958.post-85855016477738059682010-12-03T16:42:48.285-06:002010-12-03T16:42:48.285-06:00Hi Karyn,

I really enjoy them, but if I spend too much reading and commenting, I'm not spending any time working on my own blog, or writing on my manuscript. I think it's one of those things where you have to set a certain amount of time for reading blogs and force yourself not to go over it.<br /><br />I don't know too much about Twitter yet. I understand it's like FB in that you spend time on it getting to know people and making connections. By the time I get around to using it, something new will pop up!<br />JanaJana Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624650840243322617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4209934041722758958.post-81146272879108019412010-12-03T08:31:56.667-06:002010-12-03T08:31:56.667-06:00People swear by twitter.

But it actually might be very benefical for you, plus it's the least time consuming option out there (I think)!<br /><br />Like Janet, I struggle with #6. Maybe improving on that will be my New Year's resolution :DKaryn Goodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12586701849461714531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4209934041722758958.post-56778307732816592952010-12-03T06:32:18.673-06:002010-12-03T06:32:18.673-06:00There's a way over on Facebook to link your bl...There's a way over on Facebook to link your blog with your page - it took me forever to figure out how to do it. And did I write down the information - NOOOO! But I think you go into settings and the find the information on how to 'import' your blogposts. The answer's in the FB help document, and if you use 'import' as a keyword, you'll find out how to do it. Then your post will show up on your FB page - and your friends will be able to comment right there.<br /><br />The other option, which I did for a while, is go and create a hotlink on the day you blog (write on your wall and then link your blog - others can then link into your blog). Importing it just makes it that much easier, one less thing to do.<br /><br />I have a problem with #6 - there are only so many hours in the day. I know that's an important step in gaining followers, but with a Day Job and a life, it's really hard to justify hours spent reading and commenting on blogs!<br /><br />I love the idea of a slide show - thanks for the link, I'm going to check it out.<br /><br />Another post with some great tips, Jana. I'll be sure to watch for you on Tuesdays and Thursdays.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13297537075103893956noreply@blogger.com
