On Following-

Hi friends! Thanks as always for being here. I'm super proud to be a part of this site and cherish it very much {if you couldn't tell by now}. I've made it very clear as to how I want the show ran and we've made every effort to have every member participate accordingly. Unfortunately, there are going to be those people who do not read and do not have the slightest clue on how to run a successful blog. I can only hope that people will respect one anothers space by leaving genuine comments regarding their post and not asking or demanding follow backs. And the worse part is, they don't even read your content.

They scroll down to the comment section, leave their copy and pasted -

"Hi I'm your newest follower from Magical Monday Blog Hop. Would love a follow back at http://.......com"

If your going to leave comments just for a follow back, then you have no business being here. You've come to the wrong place. I mean really. What kind of comment is that. It's rude and inconsiderate. Not only are you making my people feel uncomfortable, your making my hops sound like they are here for nothing but follows. Yes we all want followers but genuine ones.

We are here IN SEARCH OF BLOGS WE WILL ENJOY READING AND BECOMING FRIENDS WITH! and friends don't leave comments asking for things in return or comments that have absolutely NOTHING to do with the post. So if you want to be our friend and continue to be a member of this site then make it right and do not go around acting like this. If you do not, then goodbye.

I'm sorry that this has to come to these kinds of posts but when I get emails and stop by your sites to see this persons comment on each and every one of yours, it makes me upset. I want happy emails. I do not expect to have to be your TEACHER and teach you blog etiquette. Your Grown. Act It. Put yourself in someone else's shoes and after you leave that pasted comment, ask yourself if you would like to receive those. Because I do not. And neither do the rest of us. Although there are some of you who do not mind it and that is fine. But for the majority of this site, we expect different kinds of comments on our posts. You can tell someone where you are coming from after leaving a nice comment about their post. And more than likely, that person is going to come check you out and follow you back...but I've already said this a million times and will not continue to say it again.

I do not want every post we do reiterating what we've already discussed. This will be the last time and if someone does this to you, IGNORE and DELETE their comment if it bothers you. I'm sorry I cannot control what they do but know that we do not encourage this. It's simply pointless. If I haven't made myself clear, o'well,....I'm going to go sit back down with my lovely daughter and finish my pancake.
