I really liked that community and I used to communicate with people regularly. Then, I don't know if it was something I said that got me black listed or something, but I haven't gotten a single reply to any of my forum postings in closed to three month. On some of the mommy blogger sites, if you don't have kids or make a comment about how you'd raise a kid different from them, you get shunned. Sorry you met a contest that you actually couldn't win. You were on a roll there.Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371841750506260427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-38614999278721645692011-06-25T17:57:38.013-06:002011-06-25T17:57:38.013-06:00You get hate mail???

I posted about politics, how I don't believe in God, feeding my kids chocolate for breakfast, and a plethora of other things that might induce hate mail.... but I just haven't been lucky enough yet. I think that is how I will know I 'made it'...lol... when I get hate mail.Heather Reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07239360061592826121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-69852296661360332732011-06-25T08:41:52.268-06:002011-06-25T08:41:52.268-06:00I know you were aiming for more views, syndication...I know you were aiming for more views, syndication, and followers, but I knew all the contests you do were getting close to a bad idea. Good comparison to "The american idol of blogging." The moment you try to do stuff like that, you'd be compromising authenticity and talent. I also noticed a lot of the most popular blogs are mommy/daddy blogs. I was beginning to get sick of those to be honest.Leilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04490635107983302531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-26188595912977889162011-06-25T04:36:37.175-06:002011-06-25T04:36:37.175-06:00Makes me like your blog even more since you didn&#...Makes me like your blog even more since you didn't make the cut.

It reaffirms my case: This blog isn't for everybody. Some people love my writing. Some people loathe my opinion. I get hate mail from time to time. A big panel of BI judges seemed like a risk. Glad to know I won over a few new fans because of it. That alone made the effort well worth it.<br /><br />And I'll still be participating in BI. Just from the audience. <br /><br />@Colin: WORD!<br /><br />@Jewels: You know, I probably shouldn't have entered. I would have made the time, but juggling my regular posts + BI submissions + a new fooking job was asking for trouble...<br /><br />Thank you to all for the lovin. I'm going to keep doing what I do best.

Besides I like the option of being lazy and doing "Strange things I found on the internet" or "hot musician" posts when I get lazy. I was surprised that I didn't know a single one of the Top 12 bloggers. I honestly have no interest in mommy/daddy blogs...don't have kids and don't want kids. Their charm is kind of lost on me. I do follow a couple but that is because it those blogs are more than just pictures of their kids art on the fridge. Anyway...chin up!
