Alright! I have a question that has been bobbling around my head for some time now: How on earth do some blogs get so many followers?!?!?! It makes me rather jealous sometimes! ;) I'm kidding, but really- we have 35 followers. Respectable for the first year of blogging. But how do other people get so many? Here are some reasons I can think of:
Excitement: say you are engaged, or going to Europe, or something like that, and they'll come flooding! (So what's a girl to do who has no fiancee or funds?)
Pictures: Everyone loves seeing pictures of you, and your family. (We have discussed this, and the only options are: (A. leave you with seeing only our hands in select pictures of things we are doing (B. close this blog and invite you, and then show you pictures of us! But that doesn't do much for the follower issue, because once we are closed, not too many people can find us! :)
Style: Have one of those really fancy blogs with a great header, background, and a music playlist. (Um...our filter blocks most backgrounds, and we never hear playlists even when someone has them, because I guess it blocks it too! :P)
Genius: Say really smart and amazingly insightful things. (We are simple people, and not too many brilliant ideas come our way! ;)
Wisdom: Write posts about what you've been reading in your Bible, and thinking on, etc. (There is room for improvement in this area, but this is also a blog about our family, so we can't devote it entirely to that topic with nothing else thrown in)
Follower-Friendly Blogs: These are the ones that are constantly having contests, tags, awards, etc. (We do some, but if we aren't getting tagged, how can we tag someone else? And how do you make those award things?)
So as you can see, we try to have an interesting blog, but it seems that we lack all the stuff the "big bloggers" have! :D Thank you to each and every one of our 35 followers, and especially those of you who comment often! You are what keeps blogging fun! :) And any people out there who read this blog but don't follow it.... could you pretty please join up just to make us feel better? :) -Rachel
