Question

When you sign on to follow a blog, what do you think you are following? The words, the meaning, opinions, ideals, the author? And by follow, where does it go? I will not lie - sometimes I will click a blog on someone's blog roll because of the title or the profile picture associated with it and am often misled but that is what I get for choosing a book by its cover. Sue me.

Just curious...I see blogs with tons of followers and yet only few comments. Example:

Jo has 775 followers but generally has less than 30 comments per post and she posts often. Her content is knowledgeable and I find her very readable and she relates very well to her following.

Heff doesn't show his list of followers but his AL-ANON sign up sheet shows he does have regular meeting attendees to the tune of 20 but I bet its more than that. His blogging is sarcastic, subliminally perverted and down right hilarious. The Heff has muy comments per post & he interacts with every commenter, always responds, something I rarely do.

I will not sign up to be a follower unless I know I can and will follow accordingly. I may not comment on every post, but at least every other one. Some days it feels like blogging is a job when it's meant to be fun - is that wrong?
