I know a few people who comment regularly on my blog are followers through some other kind of reader that doesn't show up on my sidebar. Also, some will decide to follow privately as well for whatever reason.

I used to think that too, especially for those people who have like 600 followers, but I think even if I had 2635 followers, I'd notice if the next time I had 2634. I'm glad you started following my blog too! :-) <br /><br />Thanks Elle, and you're right. You can't blog, or do anything for that matter, worried that someone may not like it and take their toys and leave. You simply have to be who you are and try your best not to be negligent with people's feelings and beliefs. <br /><br />Tara--How awesome are you to risk eye strain/pain to read my blog? LOL. I'm sorry about the black background. I really like it, but I mainly like it because the YA novel I was recently querying was called Light Bringers and when I did a Google image search for Light Bringers the pic in my heading came up. I thought it was awesome because the girl in my novel, who actually is a Light Bringer, has a power which manifests light through her hands. Therefore I tried to match the background with that picture. Anyway, so that was a long way to explain the black background. Rest assured when I start querying my next novel, I'll change the background to reflect that novel...and it probably won't be black-lol.Karen Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15154015690643682525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503497006916245273.post-29263874450028135362010-03-05T14:39:24.862-05:002010-03-05T14:39:24.862-05:00It's happened to me too.

If you go through my blog list, I have very few (maybe 2-3 total) black background blogs. They really hurt my eyes for some reason. So if you have a black-lit blog and I follow, that means you are super duper excellent ;)<br /><br />I would guess that when people drop blogs it because they are trying to trim their list. I've thought about it, but the only ones I'd be willing to quit are blogs that get updated so infrequently it wouldn't make any difference in my daily reading.<br /><br />Or maybe your word ver. is scaring people off - I just got nutitic. Well, at least it didn't call me a lunitic, lol!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09008153523366719973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503497006916245273.post-16870971783484036352010-03-05T13:08:55.776-05:002010-03-05T13:08:55.776-05:00Thanks for your honest post.

This has happened to me a couple of times, and I just thought it was a glitch in the blogger counting system! :)<br /><br />But you made good points.

I've had a lot of people unfollow me. When it happens I always wonder, "was it something I said?" "Have I not visited them enough?" "Was it one of the people whose blog I couldn't find?" "Did the think I didn't like them?" But in the end it doesn't really matter, I do what I can, and that won't be enough sometimes. <br /><br />But just know I'm still here to see what you have to say, even if I don't always comment.

Do they hate me? <br />Then I force myself to remember that (1) not everyone might like me and (2) there could be other explanations. Sometimes people switch from following publicly to following privately, which deletes their number. Some people close their blogs down all together (or blogger sometimes shuts them down). In the end, just keep doing what you like, and what you're proud of, and try not to let actions out of your control get to you!MeganRebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285116194891827858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503497006916245273.post-36601708392002025402010-03-05T11:03:50.198-05:002010-03-05T11:03:50.198-05:00You know, a few years ago I had an epiphany.

Sometimes, I think it's just some glitch in the system. Or the person may follow too many blogs and decide to let some go. I've decided not to worry about it, either. The most important thing is to enjoy writing the posts and visiting with others. You'll go up and over 100 in no time.Tricia J.
