Anonymous said: "You don't reciprocate with comments. I tried leaving comments here, but it was a one way street." My apologies, I have a habit of responding to people's comments on their own blogs.

Heaven to Betsy! You put a lot of work into this. You may have started a new movement in blogging! History will tell.

Thanks Gill you are so kind to do a link back to us all. Such a nice person deserves lots of comments. I hope you keep getting more. It was a great post it has made me more concious to not just read posts but to make a comment even if it's just a quick HI!!
Thank you Gill. And I will work my way through all of the links this week & say hello to everyone. I recognise a few of the names as blogs I already read but undoubtedly don't leave comments on enough.
So many of us write super blogs but hardly anyone comments on them. Hopefully we will get to meet more people via this post.
Gill
Oh and thanks again for commenting!
I'm from Florida now by way of Western Pa. I love all things of and about the British Isles. I have a good friend from England.
I plan to visit all of the blog listed. Happy reading to all.
Hi Gill,
I would love to invite you to read my blog, but I need an email or for you to email me.
When you try to access my blog, that's when you should be able to email me.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks so much for linking back to my blog, your idea is great! I will try and get around to everyone's blog, but as I work full time, sing in a choir and take tai-chi classes, it will be a rather long process...But I will try my very best!
Thanks Gill and I did leave a comment regarding how to get rid of snails since I like in snail heaven we have tons of them here..
Thanks for visiting my blog Gill.
And so very nice of you to put a link back to each person.
I think I am going to try what Toria said and try to visit each one this week !
Blessings, GG
I tried leaving you a message the other day, but I was afraid it didn't take. I see that my 'fear' was warranted. Heehee!
Anyway, I still think you have a great blog!
Linking back to all of us must have taken quite a while! Thank you so much for the thought and the effort :-)
Have a great week!
Niki
Oh and I did visit almost all of the list and found some really super blogs!
Wow, lots of lovely links to lots of lovely blogs. Thanks Gill!
Hi Gill, thanks for all the efort you put in, it seems to have shaken us all up a bit!
Godd News !! Congratulations, you've won the Christmas Wrapping Paper Giveaway! Please email me your address details and I can pop it into the post for you. I couldn't find an email address on your blog - so I do hope you get this!

Thanks for linking all these blogs. I'll definitely be checking them out over the next several days.
Wouldn't it be wonderful too if those lovely ladies who don't have blogs start one!! Hugs dear friend.
Absolute genius. To be honest though your post was so great its no wonder you got all those comments.
Ooo! Ooo! Am I too late? LOL I don't go online every day (trying to keep the "online time" in check) and was not around yesterday :-(
I do know what you mean though, I get very few comments, but for the last 4 months the page views for the main blog page have gone up and up! For October my stats show over 720 unique page views (different IP addresses) but I probably didn't have 30 comments for the entire month.
I've bookmarked the post and will try to get to as many as possible this coming weekend.
I have been "offline" (aarghhh!) & only just saw your effort to get comments on CM & think it was a stroke of genius!!
I admire your dedication to getting back to everyone too - that is so cool of you!
Well, I have just visited a few of those blogs but will have to pace myself! Thanks for doing this,
Tanya
Hi Gill,
Thanks so much for visiting me...and your lovely comment. It is so nice to get comments...I wish I got more too!
xo,
annie
Now you've done it! So many more blogs to read, thanks Gill, that's a lot of trouble you went to.
Hi Gill, I am one of those who lurk, read, enjoy and very rarely comment. After reading your blog I thought I should change my behaviour. BUT on one blog my southern hemisphere English and different way of wording things received a sharp email from the blog author syaing she thought my comments offensive. So I'm feeling a litle wounded:-) But I do want to say that I read your blog everyday and love the progress reports on your house, your trials with insects, rodents and with Molly's condition. I really do enjoy this taste of your life and am thankful you share it in this way. Have a happy week - I hope it has a better start than mine has had.
thanks for the link back dear! ;)
Thanks Gill for the link maybe we will bump into each other one of these days. That would be something neat to blog about:-)
This is my first time visit to your blog and all I can say is WOW! You are just loaded with oodles of great post! I enjoyed my visit.
WoW - you must have spent ages putting this together! I love the 'comment love' going on in this place. I feel the same as you. I see the stats and think - why do I not get that many comments when I know people are reading. Sometimes you just need a hi or an enjoyed your post or or or ... SOMETHING! I think you are brave for getting everyone to speak up :-)
oh, and thank you for stopping by my place and leaving a comment ... I love new readers who aren't too shy to say hello ;-) x
Well done!
You must be tired!
