Lori,
By the way, I love that picture of the baby, so cute, and I do have to admit now, that LOL, I have some of the same irks as a blogger. The people not following contest rules I guess Is my biggest right now. Of course I am new so no one is asking me for contact lists yet, lol, but I am sure in a few years that time will come for me too.
I do want to add, that I love your blog and I think YOU are a wonderful person, and a great person who one day I can only hope to aspire to be like you.
I hope your days to come will be better and you arent irked so much. I am wishing you a wonderful weekend and for you to have peace.
Thank You for just being you and that you are REAL.
(((HUGGS)))
Beth AKA Plussizemommy

ps. I never had anyone be annonomous yet, but I agree with that too, that is very cowardly.(especially if it is a complaint or something mean)

Hey Lori,
I guess being the newbie (kinda sorta) around, I have to admit, I have made those mistakes of asking for things for free, and wandering how much bloggers can make (although I never asked for a W-2, it was more like I wanted to know a range, like could it be $2 a week or $1000/week?) When I first met the #11moms in Bentonville, I admit, I was so overwhelmed and excited about knowing everything thing about blogging, it never really occured to me how much effort, work, and time, it takes to be a blogger, and I wasn’t aware of what kind of questions were appropriate or not. You see, I never even heard of twitter or blogging (like we do) before, I thought blogging was just people writing stuff about their families, I never ever knew it could be a “job”. Now, that I have started blogging I NOW know how much effort,time, patience and work it truly is and I know how hard it is to get contacts, and etc… I know how hard it is to get your blog stats up, which of course I have a LONG LONG way to go.
And, you have every right to complain, I guess I am seeing both sides, since I am so new, Sometimes new people dont know what is appropriate until THEY themselves actually do a blog. Then, like me, you quickly find out and WOW, I now feel forever indebtted to the #11moms that got me started, and now that I have been to my first conference at BlissDom and see how truly hard everyone is working I am WOWED even more.
Sometimes pure excitement comes over me and I guess questions aren’t thought about before being presented. But, NOW I KNOW, and NOW I TRY very hard not to ask these questions. I try to ask for guidance, which is different. But I do admit, there was a time about 3 months ago that I was asking and thinking the same way as some of your irks.
I would like to formally apologize to anyone I may have offended, right here, and just want to let anyone reading that no harm was ever meant (By me at least) I was just new and didnt know any better.

Hey, I thought I was your stalker.

The twitter one–my friends do that all the time for my sad little personal blog. But, they’re friends…whatcha gonna do?

For the affiliate links. Yup, they are all over my product review blog–but it is a review blog and all the opinions are honest. Spend a lot of time/effort and don’t feel bad about making the money ;)

Everyone blogs for different reasons, don't we? I think some people think they're going to write out a few thoughts online and become rich and famous. I'm sure the blog world is not the only place they behave this way. Someone from Great Wolf Lodge didn't like my review and left me a nasty comment. Of course, they left their trail for me to see. I just deleted it and laughed to myself. People who think they are clever but have no idea their i.p. address is being logged aren't very clever after all. They sent themselves an email from work (and it clearly shows it coming from Great Wolf Lodge) to their yahoo account. Then they clicked the link right from the email they sent themselves. Brilliant, no? I just erased the comment. No sense being upset by it. Those people want to turn you into who they are. Not gonna happen. tammigirls last blog post..I Have The World's Greatest Husband!

I am over here clapping! I get SO SO SO angry when people ask me how to sign up for free stuff. There's no signing up, you have to work for it. Oh and how to make money online to fuel their shopping habit. I do what I do because I want better for my family, not because I'm living the granite counter top life and want the latest Dooney & Burke! I don't mind helping those who I know will pay it forward, but GEEZE! Oh and people who totally ignore your post and comment with a link to an award that's been going around the web since 1995! Was I a b#%$ for saying that? My bad! Sheenas last blog post..And The iPod Touch Winner Is…
