I enjoyed seeing all the comments, which is something I rarely get as a writer. <br /><br />It's a shame Smyles & Fish is now virtually defunct, I've worked with people there and they're all very talented, but it seems all such commendable ventures are destined to a premature death (though exploring the site is still worthwhile, there are a lot of interesting relics there).S.K.

When I wrote that post I was NOT aiming it at you whatsoever. I've been so busy lately that I haven't been commenting on anyones blog as much as I used. I was gearing that blog towards the creators of "blog of note" and ONLY the creators. Like I said I feel that the "blog of note" is only showing one aspect of the blogging world and I really don't appreciate that. I absolutely love your blog so I would never want to make you feel like I was pulling you into the mix. <br /><br />I am still following you. I'm sorry that I haven't been commenting lately. I do come to your page still...I just don't have as much time to form a comment in my head. I started a class that has been taking up a lot of time so I only have time to post, not comment. I really didn't mean to hurt your feelings whatsoever. I am really really sorry. I feel horrible. I know we've exchanged quite few words for a while and we "drifted apart" a month or two ago. I definitely didn't mean for that to happen.<br /><br />I hope you will follow me again. I always appreciate your input. My class is slowing up so I will have more time to comment and look at people's blogs again. <br /><br />I'm sorry again.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668285347582538882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-69225793305248380032009-04-15T09:42:00.000-04:002009-04-15T09:42:00.000-04:00Oh my, what a fun morning you had.
