Thanks for the interesting challenge. I have jumped around random blogs in ages. It used to be so disheartening to find those abandonded blogs, but I have to say the are few and far between these days. Can't wait to see who else is out there!

Note from Brielle

Hello,
I just wanted to say thank you for the newsletter "Blogging Basics from HSB - Getting To Know You".... I really enjoyed reading it and it was just what I needed... After reading it it made me want to work on some new posts and go comment people...thanks for the Encouragement.

I also want to say I love HSB and it is has provided me with a fun and safe environment to meet more homeschoolers and it's been a great way to start my own costume shop.

I hope you have a wonderful day!
Sincerely,
Brielle

I enjoyed reading Blogging Basics today in my e mail. The story about Johnny the Bagger made me cry. I used to work with individuals with Down Syndrome.
Our neighbor has a precious little girl she home schools with Downs too. What a sweetheart.

I'm guilty, I have an abandoned personal blog but I do post on the WA State Blog. I didn't even know there was a Blogger Basics e newsletter. I think I'm better at leaving comments than keeping up my personal blog which might not be saying too much. :)

I'm already commenting!

Until now I hadn't really taken as much time reading other posts as I could have. I told myself I didn't have time. Then the other night I spent several hours (slow dial up connection) reading other blogs and really enjoyed it. I learned a lot too!

So, now I'm commenting every chance I get...and this one counts too!
Blessings,
Missy

PS Does this challenge end Nov. 30th?

I'm glad everyone is enjoying the challenges!

Hi Tia,

Just stopping by to say I've been commenting but not o everyone blog I randomly hit upon. I think I was up to maybe 37 but I shredded the paper I was keeping tally on due to house cleaning just now. Sometimes I logged in as WA State HSN and sometimes as Troopers For Christ. I even updated my own blog and our 15 year old helped me make it more customized. Woo hoo!

Just had to check in....
Hugs,
Marie WA State Trooper

I forgot to update on my commenting. Last count was over 60, but I lost my paper and don't remember how high the number actually went. I really enjoyed reading other blogs and leaving messages. I got some really great reciprocal comments from those I visited and made some new blog friends as well. Thanks so much for the challenge. If you hadn't challenged us to do this I probably would have never visited so many different blogs and made so many new friends.
Merry Christmas!
Missy
