I have come to learn that I have over double the number of followers as what that box shows, so I am not sure that I care any more anyway. Although, I love seeing that number go up.<br /><br />Dropping in from A to Z Challenge.

Someone I know who started blogging recently can't get the follower icon. That's so lame. It's what identifies the Blogger blog and makes it special. Without it, I'm not sure what the point is of sticking with Blogger. Yes, I need my follower icon!Karen Jones Gowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153821980625034810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981933340378825849.post-35383823324378029382013-04-06T22:47:11.384-05:002013-04-06T22:47:11.384-05:00I like your post.

It was sad. I understand what you mean about seeing those faces smiling at me as I write articles, inspiring me and spurring me on. I don't keep any kind of count of the number of followers I have anymore. I know people read my blog because they comment, and I know some people keep checking back because they comment more than once. And I can live with that. There's the danger when you have a tally of followers that you get competitive, and try to get followers for the sake of being able to say "see how popular my blog is!", and lose sight of genuinely trying to connect with people.<br /><br />That's my thought, anyway. :)Colin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292997431935215499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981933340378825849.post-82470497991106206262013-04-06T19:53:23.176-05:002013-04-06T19:53:23.176-05:00Love your post!

I started this blog three years ago to connect with other writers, and it's been such a fantastic journey since then. I've met many wonderful people and they've taught me so much!<br /><br />Happy A to Z-ing! from <a href="http://lauramarcella.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines</a>Laura S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13934230198562773803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981933340378825849.post-37703252017667492092013-04-06T09:48:49.511-05:002013-04-06T09:48:49.511-05:00The thing I love most about social media is seeing...The thing I love most about social media is seeing other writers on their journey.
