I love my siblings dearly. They’re all wonderful, and wonderfully supportive.
But some of them DO NOT and WILL NOT read blogs. Others do and will read blogs–just not MY blog.
Three siblings have blogs of their own and read mine in turn (Anna, Joshua, and Grace). My mom reads my blog faithfully. The other 3 siblings don’t read blogs (except maybe ones very specifically related to politics, the Marine corps, eRepublik, or Husker football). And my dad reads plenty of political blogs but not mine.
I don’t anticipate this changing anytime soon.
Here’s a simple excerpt from an old e-mail to give you an idea for why I might think that way. Daniel writes in an e-mail with the subject “Blog”:
What’s with the multiple color schemes and formatting depending on which page you are on?
I am not reading it … just trying to find out which class you teach … you can check the times … too short to read

Don’t you love that? He wanted to know what the deal was (I was switching from all html pages to php constructed html pages while changing my blog design)–but wanted to make sure that I knew that he wasn’t reading. And to make double sure, he reminded me that I can check my statistics to see that he didn’t spend enough time on my site to actually read anything.
If you don’t read my blog, by all means, let me know!
I don’t read your blog. =)
Just sayin’ ;-)
I’ve recently become a faithful reader of your blog. :)
I don’t read your blog either. Never mind how I know what this post is about and why I’m here leaving a comment. I am not reading it.
I don’t read any blogs. I have never read anything in my life. I just skim everything and let the words permiate to myh subconscious. I find it’s better that way.
