So here’s my new poll on your right ————>
You can tell I’m really scraping the bottom of the barrel here for topics. Sheesh! I can’t even be creative/original in asking questions!
But do vote, anyway! Maybe your responses will give me ideas for my next poll!
And those of you who choose the last option, remember you have to write in and tell me your choices. Or else!
I’ve uploaded some pictures from our trip to the million-year-old Borra caves over at my photoblog, Misfit Travels. Do take a look.
I suppose everyone knows about this, but I had to blog about it because it gives me so much pleasure…
You can subscribe to cat pictures on Flickr using Bloglines/Blogroll/whatever RSS, XML or Atom feed reader you use. I get my daily cat fix from this, since I am allergic to cats and cannot get any closer to them than this. Sniff.
I also subscribe to crochet pics on Flickr so I can see what other crocheters (non-bloggers, sometimes) are upto.
The topic of blog-commenting (blommenting? clogging? blenting? bleating…no, that doesn’t sound right) seems to be a popular one and itself rouses a lot of reactions. I thought I’d paste here what some very eminent bloggers had to say to my post: (Notice my name-dropping)

I think that this is a great topic! I love to get comments and leave comments. At first I didn’t know if it was “okay” to leave a comment on the blog of someone I knew only thru reading their posts, but I took the leap and there’s been no turning back.

I was the same way when I first entered blogland. I didn’t want to comment for fear of appearing pushy etc. I felt like maybe it was an invasion of privacy (duh Hell-oo, it is a public diary!) Anyway, I leapt as well, how else does one make friends via computer? (or anywhere for that matter)

I agree with both Regina and Sara…I’ve been reading blogs much longer than Ive been leaving comments! However I still sometimes just visit and dont feel the “need” to comment at each and every one of the new entries. I find I only comment tho on those blogs where I get a feel for “having something in common” or those the totally inspire and amaze me..I probably comment on 1 blog a day average and I visit about 20 a day regularly.

I leave comments everywhere I go, even if it’s just a “great blog”. I love getting comments and I know everyone else does too!
I also love to visit everyone that leaves a comment on my blog. I feel very connected with the whole world now. Woo hoo HOO!
Great blog, btw! 😉

It’s ok. I forgive everyone…I guess all of you were away for the long weekend or something. So only 7 voters cast their votes. However, since I held the poll, I am giving the results below:
When someone comments on your blog, do you
Return the favour by commenting on theirs 2 (28%)
Send them email 0 (0%)
Quote their comments in your post 0 (0%)
Do all the above 1 (14%)
Do any two of the above 4 (57%)
Never bother to check for comments at all 0 (0%)
Total votes: 7
1 person actually does all of commenting, emailing and quoting, but the majority go for any 2 options. Everybody checks for comments (a no-brainer).
Ho-hum.
Let’s see if I can come up with a more interesting poll this time.
I’ve put up some pictures from our Orissa trip over at my new photoblog, Misfit Travels. Check them out sometime.
Hi, all!
Sorry for the long silence, but we went on a short trip to our neighbouring state of Orissa for a few days, so I wasn’t blogging. But we got back this morning and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the computer. Everyone else is sleeping off the effects of hectic, non-stop holidaying and I’m trying to catch up with my blogs (reading and writing), as well as Crochetville…
And guess what was waiting for me in the mailbox this morning? This beautiful bookmark, from Hilary aka Antara over at Crochetville, for the Christmas in July wishlist. I’m thrilled!!!
Aren’t the colours lovely? And the work is amazing too! Thanks so much, Hilary!
I will be putting up the pictures of our travels in Orissa shortly.
As the title suggests, my fourth poll is inspired by Sara over at Crochet All Day. Stealing ideas left and right, we are!
The subject is: how do you react to comments on your blog? Do cast your valuable vote and let us know! Imagine us to be pressing flesh and kissing babies, if you need.
The poll is, as usual, somewhere to your right ———->
The third poll on this blog has closed and the results are kind of dull….
Also, we had an increase of just 3 voters from our last poll.
Anyway, the results are as follows:
Your favourite place to crochet is
Living room 82 % (14 votes)
Kitchen 0 % (0 votes)
Bedroom 17 % (3 votes)
Porch/sitout/deck 0 % (0 votes)
Under a blanket with a torch 0 % (0 votes)
Bathroom 0 % (0 votes)
Total votes 17
What, nobody is a closet(blanket) crocheter at all? I’m disappointed.
I have to say I belong to the minority on this one, my favourite place to crochet is the bedroom, watching TV. Maybe we can start a webring for bedroom crocheters…and call it Bedtime Yarns…
Look out for the next poll, and keep up the morale, troops, we need all the support we can get.
The visits to my blog peaked on 20 June according to this graph. Must find out what I was doing on that day…
