I check my subscriber count every now and then (mostly to see who has subscribed via email since I’ve seen those numbers increase and it’s sometimes interesting to see when I recognize someone). But I don’t check my subscriber numbers religiously or anything like that. Sure increase numbers are great but I can’t spend my time and energy focusing on that ya know? If I do, then it means I’m spending less time with my existing readers and they’re the ones that really push me to keep moving forward! Getting to know them more, is more important to me.

I’ve had you on my feed for a while now. The truth is that I’ve now got so many feeds from bloggers who interest me that I simply don’t have the time to follow up on all of them, all of the time.

The system works though because I read Davina’s post with her link to you. So in reading a blogger I like, who found your post important enough to link to, it was inevitable that I would click through – so in short, I followed a personal recommendation from someone I like and trust.

I’ve spent nearly an hour reading through the post and the comments (reading, not skimming) and I’ve learnt so much.

This has to be some proof that building a community and interacting with them has great value.

Plus now I’ve added Grizzly to my feed reader.

Thank you!

A bigger question is why you had 50 comments over two days and none in the past week.

Also, I still, after a year, have no clue how many people subscribe to my blog or even read it. Honestly. I don’t know how to find out.

I liked this bit: “Here is the thing. You need to look and listen and make up your own mind about people.” Spoken wisely.
