The content happens, too, because of the love. Loveless sites -- and I visit one or two -- get boring more quickly than others.<BR/><BR/>Here at this blog, besides the love, the power of your writing is mostly about the composition, how you frame the content. And yes, you do it lovingly, and originally.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, being able to tell you how much I love things that you write is nice, but even if I couldn't comment, I would still visit. Yeah, you're that good. That's why I'll definitely be buying your book when it comes out, after all. <BR/><BR/>Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-1133561729019926162005-12-02T14:15:00.000-08:002005-12-02T14:15:00.000-08:00A and D in turn help build C.

But there's another factor not listed here, which is key for me: some point of common interest. B is bonus, but not central, normally... unless that's the sort of blog it is (thinking boingboing or something), but then I tend to go back only sporadically to that sort of thing. So yeah, relationships, once the common interest and style are established and there continues to be something new to talk about. (Can you tell I'm not a terribly linear thinker? More spiral...)<BR/><BR/>Fer instance, I admire the way you respond to your commenters.MBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14515233228776181123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-1133550291214157742005-12-02T11:04:00.000-08:002005-12-02T11:04:00.000-08:00a) the writing style of the bloggerI'll be back!a) the writing style of the blogger<BR/><BR/>I'll be back!Luxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01714316634553311110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-1133547443905361652005-12-02T10:17:00.000-08:002005-12-02T10:17:00.000-08:00A, B, C, D... in that order.
