That is partly the reason why your blog is so successful...because you CARE!! That is huge. If someone is going to spend their time on something, it helps them to know that the person on the other end cares. Just keep doing what you are doing Kath...its working!!

But I do go back when I've asked a question or made a comment I think the blog owner might respond to to see if he or she has. No big deal if they haven't, but I do love the extended conversations that do go on in Angiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00353676756221692186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975960610448561082.post-61454396696262726432010-03-12T07:23:42.871-08:002010-03-12T07:23:42.871-08:00I just found out yesterday that Ally Carter is a p...I just found out yesterday that Ally Carter is a pen name though she hasn't written anything under her real name.
