Riddle Me This????!?!??! Random Rant!

Hello!!! *waving* (side eye)

A fellow blogger and I were venting earlier about the highs and lows of blogging. I had very few lows to vent about because for me blogging is a hobby so I enjoy it. For her its like a thorn in her side because she has about 100, 000 more followers than I do. For me blogging is therapy and ways to share info with friends and fam. For her she is constantly wondering what content is relevant and appropriate for her huge audience of followers.

One thing we both have in common is, dare I say it...LURKERS!!! Oh Em Gee!! For those of you who don't know what a lurker is...lemme dumb it down for you. Its the people who frequent your blog, profile, online journal or whatever simply just to read what you say and BOUNCE!! They don't click "like" or "recommend" they just read your every word and look at your content from the sidelines and roll out. Some lurkers frequent your blog more often than those who actually comment.

----------

User participation often more or less follows a 90-9-1 rule:
90% of users are lurkers (i.e., read or observe, but don't contribute).
9% of users contribute from time to time, but other priorities dominate their time.
1% of users participate a lot and account for most contributions: it can seem as if they don't have lives because they often post just minutes after whatever event they're commenting on occurs.

One of my homies was bragging to the crew how much she loved my blog but I had to stop her to say, "you read my blog???" she was like...yeah girl, I follow you on Google Reader!! I was like oh heck naw, NOT YOU TOO! To me Google Reader is just a fancy way of lurking. Half the time the writer of the blog has no idea that you are even following them. After giving her blues about not supporting my "movement" she now follows me on twitter!! LOL!! She is probably lurking right now so, "Hey K.W"!!!

We are all guilty of "browsing" the net...I am a reformed lurker, to me lurking was wack because I wanted to add my two cents in the comments! If the website is interesting enough for me to read on a daily basis why not just "JOIN" or "FOLLOW"???


If I am all up on your site you are gonna know I've been there. I won't comment on every blog post or entry because I can't always co-sign or relate but I will contribute here and there. If you don't see me pop up every once in a while then I'm not lurking!! Being nosey 24/7- 365 is not a good look!


I know certain people are shy and don't have much to say...I get that, I'm not talking to the introverted people. I have shy anti-social moments myself but C'Mon Son!! Come out of hiding...I added a hit counter a month ago and so far almost 9,000 hits so I know yall are looking and watching!! I have some who write me on michelle@curvyecocentric.com to add comments and I thank you for showing love!!


A year or so ago one of my favorite bloggers shut down her blog because she felt like she was talking to herself...I really miss her contribution to the world wide web...she was so positive and refreshing but like so many before her she stopped blogging because she didn't feel the support from the community of people who "followed" her.


Bloggers do alot of research and preparation to offer us information, insight and their perspectives. At least you can "like" something every once in a while. SHeeSH!!


For those of you who offer a comment or a retweet I THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Your feedback is priceless. I love blogging so you can join me for the ride if you wish..but yall need to stop lurking so much and come out of hiding. If you are reading this then you are on this site for a reason. I don't bite!! LOL!


Support your local blog TODAY!! <--- super cheesey, I know!! LOL!

Say YES to CVS!!

Super random blog...I may be weird but I LOVE to hang out in drugstores like CVS & Walgreens. You can get vitamins, makeup, magazines, nail polish and household goods and alot of CLEARANCE items! ...I can spend all day in that store! Don't judge me. LOL



I have been reading about the benefits of Probiotics..so far so good. Vitamins for my daughters and Super B Complex for hubby and I.

The benefits of CVS is the Buy 1 Get 1 FREE perks. 2 for 1 ..The Daily Energy is great for me and the hubster. It has more goodness in it then the Women's. The Women's is higher in Caffine so it gives me a JOLT!

I wanted to give these a try. I didn't care for the tissue because it was 1 Ply. I stuffed it under the cabinet, Me no likey.

The paper towels are pretty cool...they get the job done I guess. They can't hold a candle to VIVA paper towels (my fave) but I can dig the fact that these are eco friendly.

The simple beauty of life...

Its something so beautiful and fascinating about this picture...

I need a customized layout pronto! I'm melting from boredom *sigh*

*picture is mad random and unnecessarily sarcastic (LOL) but it kindof coincides with my current mood re: this layout that I'm sure 50-11 million other people have on their blog*

This bland pre-made template is boring me like no other! OMG! Like white walls kinda boring...The websites that offer blogger layouts disable my gadgets. We can't have that cause I really dig my little gadgets! HMPH! I am so HTML challenged its not even funny. I see the other blogs looking so spiffy and whatnot..I confess, I'm jelly!! *crosses arms* LMBO! I'm on the lookout for a cheap web designer. I'm a thousandaire so I can't afford outrageous prices LOL!...If you have any recommendations please let me know. Merci'!!

Bonne Nuit!
