FYI

I will be disabling comments on some [not many] of my posts in the future.

I have become aware that I do write for an audience on occasion and I dont dig that at all.

Sometimes I will be funny. Sometimes I will be boring. Often predictable. Possibly even grumpy. I may even be soppy but I always want to be true to what my blog is about - it's all about me.

And mine. And our [ordinary] lives together. So forgive me, but at times, I will not be inviting comments in a public forum simply because I want to be sure of my motive for each and every post.

DO YOU ACCEPT DOGS? OR ARE WE OUT?

Stefanie said...

Ok, I saw farm fresh did this too.

Yvette Kelly said...

Why dont you just make your blog private and then people request to read and then you can choose who reads your blog?

Michele said...

Mel, I love this idea! I know exactly how you feel---there are some posts that you know/hope will invite conversation and others where, beh, it doesn't matter. I'm down with this, no problem.

Kirsty - LOL, knew I could count on you for some comic relief.

Allie - yep, we have talked bout this ne?

A.W. - Yeah baby!

Bwana &co - you guys always in!

Stef : yup, she has switched comments off altogether; I dont like that idea.

Yvette : The temptation would still be there to write to my 'private audience'. And must say with regard to private blogging? Been there, done that and am happy to have a public blog.

an interesting thought....I know what you mean, sometimes I write something and then think oh hell that is going to provoke all kinds of things so I delete it....and in doing so maybe not being true to myself....hmmmmm...thought provoking.

Farm Fresh Jessica said...

I love the way you approached this.

I get you completely. I have closed comments occasionally because I want to say my say but I don't necessarily want opinions.
