This is exactly why it took me a long time to put advertising on my blog. I wanted to stay true to my blog and not make it all about making money, yet I thought "I blog so much, why not get something out of it?" Even if it's just a few bucks that goes into my mommy time fund, I feel that I'm not exploiting my readers because I'm staying true to myself and blogging. Great post, buddy! It's a lot of food for thought. <em><strong>I know what you mean and you have to find a balance too! Thanks for the compliment. :) </strong></em> All very good points!

Great post, buddy! It’s a lot of food for thought.

I know what you mean and you have to find a balance too! Thanks for the compliment. :)

That should be "start updating again" and not "start up dating again." I don't think my wife would like that. <em><strong>ROFL - yes, she probably would have something to say about that. But I read what you meant! :)</strong></em> Ha-ha. That should be “start updating again” and not “start up dating again.” I don’t think my wife would like that.

ROFL - yes, she probably would have something to say about that. But I read what you meant! :)

Right now it looks abandoned, which it is sort of. <em><strong>Oh it's a constant struggle to find time to keep things moving isn't it?</strong></em> I’ll tell you when I start up dating again.

Oh it’s a constant struggle to find time to keep things moving isn’t it?

I usually have a great post but by time I get a chance, and sign in, I forget and end up just updating about my life. Which isn't very interesting! <em><strong>Well, I wish I were better at it, but I sure have a growing list of articles on my dashboard....LOL</strong></em> I wish I’d remember to write down what I wanted to blog about.

When I first started blogging, I never expected anyone to actually read what I wrote. Then by some miracle I started to gain readers. The more I got, the more I wanted. I got hooked into checking my stats every morning. It's now 1 1/2 years later. Although I do enjoy the traffic since it helps with my BlogHer Ads, I've come to find that the friendships I've made are more important and should be nurtured. Thanks again for taking the time to write this. I look forward to the next one! <em><strong>I'm so with on on that. The friendships are so amazing to me and SO deep too, it's amazing that I can honestly say some of my closest friends I've never met in person yet. :)</strong></em> Loved this post!

I get about the same amount of traffic on another blog (compared to Daddy Forever). Odd thing is that I have not written anything new on the other blog for several months now. The biggest difference is that the readers find what I write (use to write) useful on my other blog while my dad blog is not that useful. <em><strong>What's your other one? Daddy Forever is so real though and it's how I got to know you so it will always be my fave. ;)</strong></em> Good points.

What’s your other one? Daddy Forever is so real though and it’s how I got to know you so it will always be my fave. ;)
