We admit that we envy each other's gardens -- no worries. That said, it's disheartening because gardening is a "niche" topic, so there's probably no way to ever get the number of readers up to the level of other blogs that cover the latest hot topics, entertainment or technology. I am a technology expert, but gardening is fun. Therefore, I prefer to blog about gardening! :-) Freda Cameron Garden and Travel Writer Defining Your Home Garden Garden bloggers are a friendly group–we read each other’s blogs because we LIKE to drool over gorgeous plant photos and get great advice!

We see *so many* blogs/sites/whatever in a day, that we get overwhelmed. I totally agree with Kim above: notice the feeling, then toss it aside and get on with your life. Easier said than done!

The best thing is to take notice of the feeling, examine where it is coming from and then throw it away. You'll end up feeling so much better if you feel happy for the other's accomplishments.

I've had blog envy before, not regarding content but envy towards traffic. I have a lot of blogger friends that get insane amounts of traffic in a little time. But then I think about it and their blogs aren't even in the same niche as me so I can't be envious of it and compare my blog to theirs. And all that time I'm being jealous I could be writing and promoting. Again, great post Chris! -Andrew Great post! I’ve had blog envy before, not regarding content but envy towards traffic.
