So unless you have been hiding your head in the sand or under a pillow, you will have seen some posts in blogland talking about today as ''Operation Speak Out''.
Now we are not expecting you all to go to Speaker's Corner in London and start declaring your personal thoughts on the state of the world in general, no all we are asking is that as people who love blogging and reading blogs, we engage in a day of trying to leave comments for every post we read. That's right EVERY post we read.
This is the brainchild of the very brainy Abi from Creating Paper Dreams so if you would like to read about her idea hop on over to this post from last week. It is a wonderful thing to be able to share your thoughts and ideas whether on crafting, life or whatever in blogland and even better to hear what other people think. So today if you can do leave even a short comment on all the blogposts you read and let's share the love of blogging to everyone. It will be lovely to hear some new voices out there who may not leave a comment. It would also be great to turn off that weird lil are you a robot confirmation box today too, just a thought, as if ur like me it can be a tad confusing working out the letters on the screen................ooh does that make me a robot?
And if u still haven't got the point here is some musical fun for you guys......
Actually don't reply to that, heehee. Happy blogging today and let's make those comment boxes heave with words
sounds like a good idea x
ReplyDeleteWell advertised speaker :0)
ReplyDeleteI hate the comment boxes too - have had a couple of spam items since turned off but blogger tends to catch them.
Enjoy commenting x
I'm hoping everyone will have turned off word verification....permanently!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm finding I'm a much more attentive reader when I'm planingnto comment.

This is a good idea. I read tons of blogs but rarely comment. I do enjoy what I read so this is making me express that.
ReplyDeleteBlogger had turned the wordy thing on for my blog even though I had originally turned it OFF! Silly blogger! Needless to say, it's off again now ...
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Jo! I am so excited that we will be sharing so much encouragment on the internet today! I loved your post below as well! xx
ReplyDeleteHurray for Operation Speak out! I actually do try every day to leave comments on as many blogs as I possibly can - I'm a firm believer in saying hello. But then, as I said to De, maybe I just talk too much? Anyway, I think it's a grand plan and I hope Abi brings it back regularly
ReplyDeleteI am trying really hard to join in with this today after reading about it on Scrappyjacky's blog so far so good! It is a lovely idea as I read so many blogs and some I have never left a comment on! Will be interesting to see how many comments I have left by the end of the day!
ReplyDeleteHurrah for commenting, and I am applauding you from over here, Jo!
ReplyDeleteTotally missed this because I've been MIA for so long. Happy to leave a comment now though. Hope you're well lovely lady. Looking forward to catching up xxx
