Bad Friend?

I should be in bed, but my computer hasn't finished its virus check yet and it hasn't had one for a long time. I have this time, so I thought I would put links to other people's blog on my page so I wouldn't have to keep looking on facebook for all of them. I never realized how many of my friends have blogs. I was surprised. So here comes my question: does it make me a bad friend to not give out my blog address and read theirs. It is an interesting question. If I ever leave a comment on their post they would have my blog address, but then I can always be anonymous. It is something to ponder.

Nope. I actually have a secondary blog account where I keep track of blogs I ocassionally check (rarely) but don't want them to know I check there blog.

THe thing is, you can put an invisible counter on your blog that allows you to see how people access your blog... like did your blog come up in a google search,did they type your address directly to the browser, orrrrrrrrrrr did they get your blog via a link on a webpage... and they can see that web page.

Hence why I have another blog purely for the purpose of listing peoples blogs I want to click and check on... so that if they look it up, they don't see that someone keeps reading their blog by clicking from my blog... thuis knowing I read it, and I have a blog.

I like to try to find that balance where I have enough readers to make myself feel useful, but not so many that I can't whine. LIke having my mom read it isn't so bad, but now that I live with her, I can't witch about when she does something to drive me crazy.

Also why I never shared my blog with my Wyoming ward, because I ocassionaly mocked them.

I don't even know why I stoped to read this post, I'm having it search your entries for a certain word I want to know more about, and stoped on this one, which I have never read, that doesn't have that word in it.
You've had a blog longer than I've known
