Top commenter Rose DesRochers has been the number one top commenter since the inception of my top commenter widget. How did she do it? Well, she communicated with me through my comments. I try to comment back to every single person that leaves a comment with me here. I always try to have the last word, well, why not, it's my blog after all. Is that so bad? You can have the last word on yours, right? hahaha
Either way, with each comment she is gaining a link in the comment to her site, as well as a notch in her ranking in the top commenters list, which shows on every page in the site. The more traffic I bring in, the more potential traffic she will get too. Good on her for recognizing that, and she has helped me to define the blog in certain ways as well. So Rose, thanks much for all your visits.
I've enjoyed Demeur's style since I read his blog for the first time. He has also been a great commenter here, and I want to invite each and every person that reads this blog to take a stroll over to his blog and take in a few of his posts. I consider him my outlet for the things that tick me off with the government, politics and general stupidity. He has a knack for connecting with me, and perhaps he will with you also? Give him a look-see. He also has a thing for beavers...
Karen AKA Nucmed (what does that mean anyway?) runs a blog over at chaosfreeliving.blogspot.com that is simply filled with interesting posts ranging from her personal battles with people offering to smoke crack with her, to her adventures with deliverance. I usually find her posts quite entertaining, so check her out!
Gary, that old man down around corner. What can I say about Gary that we don't already know? Not much, he's a hoot, kick in the pants, and an inspiration to me. I hope to be as active and go-gettem as he is when and if I reach his age. He recently blasted his blog and is looking for some help linking back up with everyone he had before. If you can help him out, I'm sure he'd appreciate it.
Fish and Frog - Turtle and Blog. That title just screams creativity to me. Baker Watson's blog is just a fascinating read on the pond in her back yard. A pond? Yes, a pond. You might think there isn't much interesting about a pond, but take a look at her site, and you will certainly think otherwise. Ever heard of a fish bed? How about some dragonflies? If you have a curious nature about nature, you'll be amazed at some of the things she finds around the pond.
Pixelhead is an interesting creature. He loves making videos and posting them on Viddler. Not only that, but he is starting to post tips for bloggers. He also writes posts on environmental issues too, which I personally enjoy because I could use some reminding on how to leave less of a footprint on the earth.
Want some funny? Dana over at Life IS Good regularly posts about her life and times and the things that she observes around her. Her wit is great and her posts will surely put a smile on your face. Need a lift? Take a stroll over to her blog and catch a few posts. You'll be right as rain. She's going by Hotpants these days.
Tiffany is stuck out in the sticks and needs a blog to communicate with others. She recently went to a KC and the Sunshine concert. Let's all hope she survives the torments of the (apparently fabulous) KC. Tiffany, you still here with us?
I want to recognize a few more people that have stopped by and introduced themselves to me, or that I have commented and they came to visit this oddball that left them some random comment. :)
- Tammy has her own little corner of the world - Thank you for stopping by from time to time and commenting. I'd be interested in hearing more about your spirituality as I have a deep respect for earth as well as pagans do. The woman that stabbed herself in the foot made me cringe...wonderful!
- Alex pops her head in from time to leave me some inquisitive thoughtfulness. She has a nice blog with some interesting posts to read. In fact, I remember leaving a comment about how nice her feet look with a new henna tattoo...not realizing it was her daughters foot. Needless to say, I squirmed away to wallow in my own embarrassment. And yeah, not to dredge up the past, but that probably will come back to bite you.
- Leslie is co-authoring with Nucmed over at ChaosFreeLiving and did a superb job of keeping the blog going while Karen stepped away for a few days. I think the two of them blogging together brings the blog to a new, interesting level. And she loves toads...what's not to like about her?
- Kenju is a new commenter who is tracking me back from a comment I left on this blog titled Imagine. He posted some great pics of statues from around the world and are simply intriguing to look at.
- Finally, I found one Kay Dennison who posts a twice-weekly groaner (a joke gone wrong in my opinion). Worth checking out for sure!
If there is anyone I have missed, it wasn't intentional. Just smack me upside the head with an inappropriate comment and I'll learn my lesson. :P
How ya doing?
