Not every comment requires any response, anyway - I don't expect any response or very often check back to see if there was one. The blog format just isn't very conducive to developing conversation.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10226718877451517265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654081451535341175.post-57260253449407288422008-04-23T22:20:00.000+01:002008-04-23T22:20:00.000+01:00Excuse me, why do you specify WELSH politics, mutl...Excuse me, why do you specify WELSH politics, mutley?!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, ignoring the dog, I do struggle even with words like feeders and RSS. I have set up google Reader but seem to have lost it again. <BR/><BR/>As for stats, I have accepted that I am a low attraction, and my numbers aren't going to increase hugely - unless I start dabbling in porn - and I'm more interested in comments.

Whilst I don’t do this for the mere vanity of counting people who come here a good day is still a bit of a moral booster and I assume that others feel the same.

I keep thinking about doing it, but then I think, I prefer to know who's read what posts myself, and it's only fair to return the favour.<BR/><BR/>I do need to sort out my own visiting system, it's a nightmare, really. I think it's best done by writing posts in advance at the wekends, and trying to keep weekdays freer for visiting, Crushedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02479751225625007588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654081451535341175.post-78545744999696156942008-04-20T11:54:00.000+01:002008-04-20T11:54:00.000+01:00We all have this time problem, e.g. today.
