I think you have just described my exact experience of blogging so far. Right now, at step number 3, I realize I just have to resign myself to contributing what and when I can and acknowledge that there's just not enough time to read every post I want to. I suppose, in the grand scheme of things, this is a pretty nice problem to have. :) Hi Slam – Thanks, as always, for stopping by.

It seems like many bloggers (me included) go through a cycle when we start: 1) post often and see little reader response; 2) begin commenting and see the blog response increase; 3) Eventually, pass our ability to keep up with commenting and posting on so many good blogs as the time needed to do such is simply not available. For me, it certainly transforms into using my time wisely--reading the works of good writers and trying to limit comments to when I have something to contribute to the discussion. I do try to offer encouragement through comments--as I see that as not just registering my "yes, I stopped by" but rather offering what little support I can to a person in a specific situation.

And there are times when I feel I really have nothing noteworthy to say. As for the guilt, it is truly a useless emotion. It drains your spirit of energy that could be used for better, more inspiring things...Kudos to you for setting your own rules...
