If your blog covers pre-1985 style gaming I'll add you to the list!<br /><br />@J.E. Badelaire - Yes, I've noticed the same thing. Blogging is definitely a community activity. It's interesting to note, though, that some (most?) of the top bloggers don't publicly follow other blogs.Bob Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12073807225519106277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005132770907882258.post-26243527446631698402010-09-30T15:57:00.129-04:002010-09-30T15:57:00.129-04:00Interesting to see this.

I found out when I started my blog that the fastest way to start getting followers and comments was to go out and start following and commenting myself. And, to reciprocate, whenever I get a new follower or a new person commenting on one of my posts, I try to take a look at their profile and start following their blog, and leave a comment or two if there's something interesting. <br /><br />This "pay it forward" approach definitely worked for me.Jack Badelairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10932441028544500024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005132770907882258.post-64057237121206738782010-09-30T15:13:17.328-04:002010-09-30T15:13:17.328-04:00I've got two followers, if I'm allowed to ...I've got two followers, if I'm allowed to count myself.
