Actually, I guess things aren’t really “between you and me” if they’re on a public forum, but I figure no one reads the comments at the tail end of a week-old post.

Good lord, I miss a lot with this new once-a-week comment catch-up. Since I read these posts in reverse order, I knew that you hadn’t given up blogging, but you still scared me for a minute there.

Between you and me, I’ve been thinking about shutting down Funky Carter for months now, but, like you, I would miss the peeps.

I agree, it is work to blog when you’ve got te blahs. And I miss it when I don’t. Like when I have 400 unread posts in my reader because I just don’t feel like doing much of anything.

I’m very glad you’re sticking around, and I’m very much looking forward to convincing you to participate in the “Republic of Dogs Holiday Bake-off” once we get the rules posted.

Hi! Just found your blog via Allie. The title caught me right away (just moved to Germany and started blogging!). I hadn’t heard about Arkansas’s ballot issue. Yikes!

Anyway, since I just now found you.. do hope you wish to keep going here.

I was a little worried there when you said you were contemplating a break. I’m glad you’re sticking with it. My motivation is lacking more often than it’s not the past several months, but I’m with you: the community is mostly what keeps me at it.

I’m glad you’re still blogging. My recent hiatus (due to lack of motivation) was really hard to break out of and I discovered how much I missed writing and reading every day.

Also: Lucky! You met Allie!

this weekend i was reading the November issue of WIRED magazine, and there was an piece about how weblogs are so totally 2004 and why bother putting your hard work into posts when there’s no way your opinions will show up high on the search-engine results. The author basically told us all to give it up and do our networking via facebook and twitter.

i found myself incredibly sad as i finished that article. but i’m happy you’re not giving up your blog just yet.
