In order to help me with my focus on ME, I am doing some "house-cleaning" in blogland today. Specifically, I'm getting familiar with the "un-follow" button. I realized that I'm following waaaaay to many blogs--and I don't even really read many of them. I spend a lot of time filtering through my blog list and that's just a waste of time.
The criteria for un-following is:
- The blog author doesn't follow me
- The blog hasn't been updated in 2+ months
- The blog is negative
- The blog just doesn't speak to me
I lost a follower recently and was surprised that it didn't bother me much. I suppose my blog just didn't speak to her/him. Maybe we didn't have much in common, or maybe what is important to me is not important to them. It happens. Carry on.
So, if I un-followed you and you think it might have been a mistake (i.e. you comment here often, or we've swapped emails, or maybe I've commented on your blog recently) please let me know.
Cheers!
PS I'm also changing my "follow" status from public to anonymous on ALL blogs. That way, I'll avoid the confrontations of "why did you stop following me but you're still following her?"

Great idea to simplify things here in the blogging community :)
It's always good to clean house sometimes. I follow a ton of blogs and it is hard to keep up sometimes. But I never know when I am going to get a valuable nugget of wisdom from someone so I really do try to keep up. My problem is blogging enough. Need to work on that.
I do the same thing every now and then. I think we all do.
