A QUESTIONI've been doing a little housekeeping this weekend and decided to weed through some of the blogs I've been following this year. After much hair pulling and anxiety I stopped following about twenty-the main reason was the lack of posting for the past four or five months. That brings my number to 179-obviously I'm afraid I might miss out on something!
A question for all you bloggers out there.....
How do you decide to become a follower of a blog?
And what are the reasons you stop following a blog?
I choose to follow a blog mainly because the blogger is reading and reviewing the kinds of books I like to read. I stop following a blog if they stop doing that or stop posting.
ReplyDeleteI really need to go through my reader and weed out those that have stopped posting. Of course, if they aren't posting, they aren't adding to the number of posts I need to catch up on. But clearing out the inactive blogs makes the number I follow seem more reasonable. I'm currently following 602.
I choose to follow a blog pretty easily mostly from reading meme contributers, mentions by bloggers I already follow or by reading the comments (in that order). That is, if they read YA and/ or children's books.
ReplyDeleteI stop reading if I note that their taste in books doesn't really jibe with mine or if their posts are poorly written.
