Delurk!

by Jodifur on January 14, 2010

I always miss Delurker day  But the lovely Chris emailed a bunch of people this year, so I could not miss it.  So hey, please, leave me a comment.  Delurk.  I know more people read this blog then my regular commenters because hey, I have stats.

So, to make it easy for you, I will ask a question, an easy question.  Besides me, what other blogs do you read?  I need to expand my blog reading repertoire.  And hey, you can even tell me I should be reading you.  Because if you lurk here and don't comment, I won't be reading you.  But my regular commenters I read.  So if that is not motivation, I don't know what it is.

Happy Delurking! I have a feeling we read similar blogs but, aside from mine, yours and everyone’s with Mamapop, I adore: Not Yet a Wino, Forever Amber, It’s Emily Woolf, Girl’s Gone Child, Uppercase Woman, Nothing But Bonfires, and others that I need more coffee before I list!

I ready you everyday but rarely comment…Sorry! I don’t have a blog so I can’t direct you there. I will say that I find blogs to read by scrolling the link pages of bloggers that I like.

um, hi … i read you almost every day (the other days i am probably looking for caffeine or my car keys). and i start a comment pretty often but punk out before i post it because i’m a chicken, and also funnier in my own head that i end up being in the comments.
pretty sure you already read a lot of the same blogs i already do, since i found you through mamapop. can i recommend iambossy.com? she is HILARIOUS.

Regular reader delurking today! I am an avid blog reader and one blog I visit everyday (multiple times a day actually) is Swistle. http://swistle.blogspot.com/
She has a way of saying things like I wish I could! One her recent posts that I really enjoyed was from November called Not on the Ballot, http://swistle.blogspot.com/2009/11/not-on-ballot.html
I also love her baby names site (http://swistlebabynames.blogspot.com/) It’s fun to name other people’s babies cause I’m all done having my own! I hope lots of people delurk for ya today!

I’ve commented before, but not nearly enough as I should… mostly b/c I usually read it on my phone or via google reader and I am lazy.
BUT, I love your site, should really submit pictures for your shoe Friday posts (since I own a ridiculous number)and love seeing/reading about Michael (and his successes).
p.s. Sorry I didn’t answer you question… I read a lot of the mamapop bloggers, and then some healthy eating/fitness ones and fashion/outfit of the day kind of blogs…

My blog comes highly recommended… by my Mom. :p
I’ve been digging http://www.fivethirtyeight.com lately. Although it’s a lot more political than bloggy.

It’s not so much lurking as reading via RSS and only occasionally wandering over here to actually leave a comment.

I know I’m not so much a lurker any more but thought I’d say Hi anyway. I’ve been reading “Drama for Mama” lately-she’s new, in New England, and smart. (http://dramaformama.wordpress.com/) Enjoy!

I am so glad you did this today because I missed so many of the delurking posts that came right after New Years.
I’m here :-)

I’m not really a lurker, but I definitely don’t read and comment (or post!) as much as I should.
Anyway.. hi!

Delurking! I read a lot lot lot of blogs, but I love Mamapop and all its folk, Angry Black Bitch, food blogs like Alinea at Home, Not Eating Out In New York, Smitten Kitchen, Pioneer Woman, aaaaand, that’s enough off the top of my head. Oh, and The Bloggess. And Immortal Matriarch.

Adam P. Knave January 14, 2010 at 12:53 pm

I really should comment more but the amount of commenting would reduce my reading time! Eeek! That said, I stole your idea for my own delurk post on my site. So there.

JennC January 14, 2010 at 12:56 pm

Delurking! Darn Google Reader makes it too easy to read and not comment, which I’ve promised myself I’m going to to more often. Resolutions and all, you know.
Happy Delurking Day!

Kate January 14, 2010 at 1:06 pm

My own blog is sadly not update much (but more soon) but in the mean time, most of my blog following is food related or lolcats – I am a woman of limited interests. My favorites are:
Use Real Butter – some of the best food porn pictures, but I only read it for the recipes I swear!
101 Cookbooks – I’m not a vegetarian, but I play one a few days a week
Tartlette – sugar-shock gone viral
And for fun:
Peter Sagal’s blog – do NPR radio hosts count for celebrity crushes?
The Borowitz Report – all the best non-news ever
Garfield Minus Garfield – I may be the only person who finds Jon to be hysterically entertaining without his cat, much like myself.

I guess I’m a semi-lurker since I read you all the time but only comment occasionally. So, hi! Happy Delurking Day!

I guess delurker day is a good time to admit that you are the only mommy blogger I read…and I started cause of shoe friday then got hooked.
For good blogs:
http://www.inkandblink.com/ – I found her by complete accident and have been obsessed ever since. She has a personal blog to record her move and transition to LA…also she keeps one of the most interesting flickr pages I’ve seen in a while. http://www.flickr.com/photos/gmarp84/
Cutest Blog: http://demibunny.blogspot.com/
this college GUY has a pet rabbit that he has a live webcam and a button on his blog where you can feed her treats. It’s updated pretty frequently and gets awesome points for the pure cuddliness of it all.

I’m a really bad blog reader. But I talk to you a lot anyway. :)

This delurking thing is exhausting. Of course I haven’t commented much in months.
Um…Anymommy? She is awesome. One of my friends and a beautiful writer. http://www.anymommyoutthere.com

I always miss Delurker Day too – glad Chris sent out that e-mail!
I’m definitely a lurker here – I read your blog via the SV MOMS collected feed – but I think I’ve included a few of your posts in my weekly link round-ups. Those round-ups (posted on Fridays) are one reason you should read MY blog, by the way :-) . (BTW, I met you at BlogHer last summer, but you may not remember.)
I read a LOT of blogs – book blogs, personal blogs, news blogs, pop-culture blogs – so it’s not as easy for me to answer your question. But one of my favorite “not just a book blog” blogs is The Betty and Boo Chronicles: http://bettyboochronicles.blogspot.com.
Happy Delurker Day!

Hmmm…I read too many blogs. I’m betting you read a lot too. Happy delurking day!

Cass January 14, 2010 at 1:59 pm

I think I’ve commented a few times but just in case I’ll officially delurk. As for blogs I read, there’s quite a few you already have on your blogroll but Girl’s Gone Child (http://www.girlsgonechild.net), Nothing But Bonfires (http://www.nothingbutbonfires.com) & Drawing on Dandelions (http://drawingondandelions.blogspot.com) are some you’re missing out on.

Boing Boing (http://www.boingboing.net/), and

I read daily but comment less often. I’m guilty of reading from my phone and that’s just not conducive to commenting unless I want my eyes to permanently cross!

Zanna January 14, 2010 at 7:31 pm

Lurker, huh? I guess, I am. I started reading your blog because your son had so much in common with my grandson.
Oh, I don’t have a blog… sorry.

Bristelle January 14, 2010 at 7:55 pm

Well, I delurked the other day, but I’d love if you’d visit my blog occasionally! Being a new blogger, I need some readers!
Thanks for sharing your life with us!

stephanie January 14, 2010 at 8:38 pm

Delurking! Well, I comment occasionally, but have trouble with my comments actually going through when I am at work for some reason. (Let’s pretend I only do that during my “lunch.” Even though I obviously tweet throughout the day. Oops.)
Aside from my blog, which I’ll pimp out only because you asked me too, I will recommend Smitten Kitchen and Pioneer Woman (for her food mostly, though I sometimes read her other posts), if you like food blogs.

Diane January 14, 2010 at 8:42 pm

I’m a sometimes lurker, mainly because I get all lazy with my reader and EXCUSES EXCUSES.
I read way too many blogs to list here, but a couple of the possibly lesser-known ones are:
http://www.superfantastic.blogs.com/
http://ennorath.typepad.com/arwens_blog/

Patti L January 14, 2010 at 8:44 pm

Started reading you thru my friend jess at A PARENT IN SILVER SPRING. Your son is a younger version of my 7 year old — and he never ended up w/ LDs either.
PS/ i do not have a blog

Hey there! I’m not really a lurker but I can still say “Hi!”. I read buckets of blogs (too many to keep up with really) but one that I never miss is http://www.strocel.com

Megan {Velveteen Mind} January 15, 2010 at 11:23 am

Delurking!
I read:
http://playgroupsarenoplaceforchildren.com
http://debontherocks.com
http://thebloggess.com
http://secretagentmama.com
http://okayfinedammit.com
http://dooblehvay.com
Actually, I never should have started that list because I realize that those URLs might not be right and I can never list all of those I read the most. I’m very probably forgetting the blog I read the most. Forget it. ;)

I do comment…sometimes. :) I miss delurking week because I always seem to miss delurking day. Anyway, I have a ton of blogs I read…too many to mention!

Gosh, I need to finish my blogroll. My favorites: Nothing But Bonfires, Princess Nebraska, Jonniker, Moose in the Kitchen, Not That You Asked, Mommy Melee, Quarter Life Crisis, Lemon Gloria, Kyla Roma and like 9000 food and style blogs. (Sorry for no links. They’re all super easy to Google :) )
