I'm married to Laura the Soup Diva and a dog dad to Frankie, Cody, and Mikey. Daily I work for a blood bank recruiting donors.

I am grateful to have a loving wife who I am sharing this life with. I am grateful that my friends who have fought to share their lives with people they love get that chance too. May God bless us all who seek to live together in love and peace.

A Bloggers Frustration: Quick Feedback

It is frustrating when you visit a blog where you can’t like the post or leave feedback easily. Blogging on a network like WordPress or Tumblr gives you a sense of connection and community that is hard to do with some platforms and self hosted blogs.

Perhaps this is a silly first world problem but you know I am kind of digitally lazy like that. However giving the reader the opportunity for instant feedback can give your blog a better feel of interactiveness.

Comments and likes are feedback which is the life blood of many blogs and their writers. They need it to help guide their posts and writings. So a quick feedback is better than nothing at all. So I think.

Do you consider it cool or creepy when someone likes a lot of your posts all at once? I consider it cool but others might have a different experience. Some might be catching up on posts they didn’t see while others might be trolling sort of.
