It's National Delurking Week 2009

Today begins National Delurking Week*, a time during which those of you who read blogs but don't comment can safely rise to the surface and grab a little air, and we bloggers can meet you.

Shy? Don't be.
Don't know what to say? Just say hi.
Afraid? What of? There's nothing to be afraid of here on my blog. Everyone's welcome and safe here.
A regular commentor? Say hi so that those who aren't won't feel like they have to be the first.

Come out, come out, whoever you are! (If you're a Flying Monkey, i.e. stalker/troll, however, just go away and don't bother to embarrass yourself.)

If you don't feel comfortable delurking, thank you for reading my blog anyway. It means a lot to me.

*According to different blogs, the actual dates for Nation Delurking Week are open for debate; I'm going with January 4-10, because they're nearest the first of the year.

  1. Too funny! Yes, there are a ton of lurkers out there. I rarely visit a blog without leaving a comment. Why not, I'm already there, right?

    I often come here without leaving a comment. Simply a matter of not feeling like having anything to add.

  15. Hi Incurable,

    Just passing through via Willow's (ditto Jeane!) and am following instructions!!

    I enjoyed Willow's interview and have also just read F-Major's via here. Clearly, they have given much thought to their answers and it's good to learn that little bit more.

    Hope your cold is better. Happy New Year.
