Bloglovin'

Congratulations to AbsentElemental who won my 6th month giveaway!


I sold out to Bloglovin', maybe. As you may or may not have noticed, several days ago I followed a large number of blogs on Bloglovin'. Most of these are the blogs that I read. Not as surprising how I get so behind now is it? I decided to try it out. I've been using InoReader. I like that InoReader allows you to read the entire post (unless they have declared otherwise in their feed) without going to the blog. However, it is nice seeing everyone's blog every once in awhile. I do like that Bloglovin' shows everyone who you follow and who follows you. With Bloglovin' you can "connect" to other bloggers better, and I like that. The only other feed reader I'm familiar with is the blogger reader. I think that that reader is a terrible thing. The only reason I use it is to connect through Google Connect with other bloggers. It subscribes them to a feed automatically, but I use InoReader and now Bloglovin' to actually keep up with their blogs. Feedly, a reader I am not familiar with, I've heard a lot of people use on 20SB.

I can't say Bloglovin' is coded the best though. This has already happened:
Oops.

I know I said I was going to start trying to stick to one topic, but this seems to be rather pressing. This includes information and what we want/don't want to hear. And people disappearing on me when they have information that they think I won't want to hear. If I ask, then I want to know. Period. I don't ask a lot of questions. Asking questions terrifies me. So, again, if I ask, then I want to know. Doesn't matter if the answer is "good" or "bad" - I'm curious.

But at the same time, if you don't want to answer, that's okay. But tell me! Say "I prefer not to answer" or "I don't wanna say." And I will accept it and move on. If you don't answer I will probably pursue again. I respect not wanting to share information, I do. But I don't respect vanishing on someone. So please, please, don't do this. Especially not to me.

I joined Bloglovin' a while back because I figured it would allow people who wanted to to subscribe to my blog, and I kind of enjoy keeping up with blogs on that as well. ...and a lot of giveaways require following Bloglovin' for some of their entries, etc.

I'm a bit confused on your latter two paragraphs, otherwise I'd comment on those as well. :x

I wanted to personally reply to your comment (http://6birds.net/archives/3133/comment-page-1#comment-5818) via email, but I don't feel as though words would quite do my reply any justice. However, it really meant a lot to me.

Oops. I didn't mean to make them confusing. Those were directed to a few individuals who, when I ask them questions, disappear instead of answering them. Maybe I'm being narcissistic, but I really don't like being ignored. So, I was trying to ask them to please say something instead of vanishing. With my luck they probably won't even read this post.

Aw, I'm so glad it meant a lot to you. As part of my own recovery I am working on sharing my own struggles/story. If you still want to email me, you can at cassandra.cassandrascurse@gmail.com. I just realized I don't have the link on my blog. Oops again. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
