Commenting

Soon after I began blogging, my statistics counter broke.  For the vast majority of the time I've spent in the blogosphere, I have not been able to ascertain how many people have visited my blog, or even if anyone had.  But good news: my stats are back!  And I am pleasantly surprised to find out a couple of things: my page has been visited over 1,000 times!  Probably most of these were me, but still, its exciting.  Also, there have been views in Romania (which we knew), but also the UK, Australia, and Russia (among others)!  To me, this is great.  Because I really like people from other countries, generally, and if I could use my blog to start up conversations with them, I think we could all learn so much. 

So, here is my proposal.  I am working on trying to get a guestbook gadget up and running, but until that happens, I would sincerely love if y'all would leave comments on my blog.  Whether you are my best friend, or a complete stranger, if you like what I'm writing about, or absolutely hate it.  Please just let me know that you are reading, and let's make this blog a little more interactive!  Anyone who knows me will tell you that I absolutely abhor monologue-ing.  So comment to me so we can converse!  Seriously.  I would love to hear what you guys think, and it makes it so much more interesting to me than only reading my own thoughts and opinions.  The only thing I ask is that this blog remains a conversationally respectful zone.  Disagreements are fine, great even, but let's all focus on learning and conversing, not arguing, yeah?

So in summary, if you happen to stumble upon my blog and feel moved to comment, please do.  But please try hard to feel moved!
