Maybe all the "Visit my blog; tell me what to do" requests are related to the "On Demand" world today's generation are growing up in. It seems a lot of people want (and expect) immediate results with very little effort, and in minimum time. Time? Energy? Devotion? Heck no... they just want everything handed to them, like Mommy and Daddy and teachers and coaches and so on... have done all their lives. Oops! I got off on a bit of a tangent there. Sorry! Back to your point...relationships are the "magic ingredient" that the best bloggers cherish, and work hard to create and maintain. Personally, it's why I got hooked on blogging. I love the sense of community, of sharing experiences and exchanging ideas with other bloggers as well as with visitors to my blog. It's sad that so many people overlook this aspect of blogging. They don't know what they're missing! Thank you, Liz! Great article, Liz!

We come to blogging thinking it's about the writing. Then the people show up and we figure out what it's really about. :) Relationships with people like you make the writing work worth it.

It's interesting how so many people drop all social skills when they get on the web. It's just like grammer, it changes but you just can't leave it behind! So true.

The relationships are developed one at a time, slowly and with care. Thanks for being such a good teacher of this principle. Liz,
