It's nice to know you're still reading even if you're not commenting. I often wonder when people disappear for a while. Like, "was it something I said?" or "did they just get busy". Alice - Glad you found it helpful. I knew NOTHING when I started blogging. It's just stuff I've picked up over time. Cat - help in the kitchen is DEFINITELY a wonderful gift at shearing time. I'm sure you'd be welcomed with open arms. :) Lisa - thank you. :) Lis - thank you. It’s nice to know you’re still reading even if you’re not commenting.

I'm pretty sure from Smiley Saturday posts, I have to get those started again! Mind you the whole past month has been non-stop smiling for me. :) I am going to have to go and re-read all your posts about life on a farm especially the shearing series ones. I have a standing invitation to go and visit one of the St George properties and I'm definitely going to take them up on it and if they'll have me at shearing time too (my standing invitation extends to the kitchen since I love cooking and she doesn't hehe). I loved life out there so much! It felt like I'd come home strange though that may be. Hehe, that is totally cool you had readers come from my blog.

I'm only going on what my summary stats tell me. I guess maybe my visitors get lost amongst all your traffic. ;) On your stats page, it won't always list every single referrer (if you get lots) only the top certain number. I wonder if you click on referrers and then "all time" whether that would show it up. I've never been called a Knightress before - I like that term! :) As for Bizarre - well, too many spammers using the word. Your comment should still go through if you press "continue" (well, mine do anyway). Alice - no, I'm not a fan of reciprocal links. I link to someone because I choose to and only that reason. :) However, links for Technorati "expire" after 6 months (only in terms of ranking - they're still important) so you have to continue to get new ones. I guess it's about keeping things fresh. They still count for google though so don't anyway go deleting old links. ;) I have more blogs in my bloglines than what are on my blogroll as well. And some on my blogroll that aren't in my bloglines. I'm terrible at keeping it up to date. River - Happy Blog Reading Birthday!!! :) How did you ever survive without all of us???? :) How did I for that matter? I always enjoy your comments. Thank you. Kez - thanks. :) Leigh - who knows? The world's our oyster, yeah? I think Aussie Bloggers are going to rock this blogworld in the coming months and years. :) Dorothy - thanks. Time certainly does seem to go quickly. Tracy - is sure does! I need to do the Gratitude dance I think. That always makes me smile!!! Kate - Have you seen <a href="http://www.lighteningsblogworld.com" rel="nofollow">Lightening's Blogworld</a>? It's bit of a mix of stuff to do with blogging but I do try to write about stuff I've learnt or done. I wrote a post on <a href="http://www.lighteningsblogworld.com/2008/02/25/technorati-basics/" rel="nofollow">Technorati Basics</a> there. It might help. If you have any specific questions let me know and I'll write some more. I try to write a "how to" or blogging tips type post most Mondays on that blog. Snoskred - this blog is still the BEST present anyone has ever given me. I'm part way through writing a post which talks about this blog as part of my overall journey to find myself. One of these days I'll finish it. I hope I don't get sick of it for a LONG time because I can't imagine anything that looks better. Sharon - you're welcome. :) You are my only FIF (Friend in the Flesh) that understands blogging. So far!!! I do of course plan world domination via blogging. Mwwaaahhhaaahhaaaa!!!! ;) Kelley - I have no idea. I’m only going on what my summary stats tell me.

We did good! ;) I've been on Wordpress now for 10 months and despite my unhappiness at the recent releases of Wordpress I could never go back to Blogger. I also wouldn't change my theme. I've just never found anything I like as much and I have used this same theme as the base for so many blogs. ;) Well done at making the move, and I think things can only get better from here. Cheers, Snoskred I still adore this theme - I like it better than mine with that raspberry purpley pink as the background color. ;) It doesn’t matter how much I look at it, it never gets old and it never makes my eyes hurt.
