ok i have made an observation. regarding comments.
maybe I need a poll. but i think the lack of comment feature actually made for a more
un-organized inbox. my gmail would help me out by labeling stuff from my blog comments as "blog stuff" . then it would consolidate my comments for me. so sometimes i would have one thread with a bunch of comments all in a row. i liked this, and i could read them all, from my inbox, and then archive them . I love gmail.
now without my comment feature, some people have emailed me anyway. either to give nice words of support, or relate something or say hey i want into your private blog. etc. etc. my issue is they are not labeled, there are more than a few and it takes time to label them then archive them and i feel like i need to reply. so i either have or haven't depending on the amount of time i have or urgency. whereas i never replied from blog comments. well sometimes I'd answer a question, but not an actual novel in reply, which is my standard reply. yeah wordy!
so in fact taking the comments off my blog posts actually makes more work for me and takes more time. i know! i gave up fast. and i have no idea if it was a relief for you guys or not so the new poll will address this.
so the comments are back! happy? sad? let me know!

I actually liked the no comment pressure too. I was toying with the idea of taking them off my blog, but I really love the feedback - makes me feel like someone heard me and cares.
I can see how it would be more messy without having them pre-labled and sorted.
I am thrilled that you added your comments back! What fUn would posts be with no comments! So I am for the comments! Leaving comments is what gets time consuming...I just need to figure out a way to get all my stuff done around the house first...then blog! It is hard...I am failing at my motherly expectations since I got sucked into the blogging stuff! It's sO much fUn though.... :)
I like the instant gratification of having the comments - I have too many emails sometimes and don't like to sort.
It's been crazy for me lately but I still check in - I love reading your blog and I liked you with or without your comments :)
The baptism pictures are terrific! Congratulations!
you didn't have to email me back. i just wanted to leave my feedback about your no comment choice.
it's always something isn't it!! :)
I am all for comments! I am glad that you put them back on your blog. I have to tell you...I think the baptism pictures are beautiful!!! What a special day!
I like that the comment feature is back!! It just felt weird, because I usually always leave a quick comment after reading a post, but when I couldn't, it felt weird!! I am glad they're back!! :0)
I like them, too. It's fun to read what other people say, too.
I like the comments, but I could care less if anyone reads them. I just like to comment if I like the post, no more obligation comments! Oh and I guess I am in the habit of reading something one or two times and then actually commenting days later cuz I forget, oops!
i'm glad they're back so i can write how pretty Liberty looks on her baptism day - that lighting on her one pic is amazing. and i think a tiara is a perfect touch!
hey if it is easier i say do that. i am all for easy and less time consuming. you just too popular ;)
I like being able to comment if I want to. I'm glad the comments are back! But it's totally up to you whatever you like or is easier.
Comments are fun:):) I feel like they should not be an obligation though...believe it or not sometimes I don't have anything to say. That is surprising to those who really know me!
I am glad the baptism went well.I remember that day in my life so clearly and have always been grateful for those who came to support me. Yeah for Liberty!!!!
Horray, you are back...er um, your comments section is back. Here's what I think---I can't understand the pressure to comment. But sometimes I just don't have enough time in the day. So, I have to limit how much I blog each day. I try my best to leave a meaningful comment & would hope that others will comment on my blog when they can! Either way...I just like that I can check up on you and read something entertaining. And see some darling pictures...love the family & baptism pictures.
I am so with you on this whole blogging/commenting thing! I can't figure it out either!! I get overwhelmed at times and have commented to David that I am just going to quit this whole blogging thing-because I already had bad time management before--now it's really bad! Plus I do the whole "high school" thing too and compare my house, clothes whatever to everyone's that are fabulous! I don't know why, but I do. I haven't had time to blog as much lately, because i've been gone or just super busy with other things and it was kind of nice in a wierd way. I love blogging...for me it's just finding that balance (which I havne't figured out yet, but I am working on it).
by the way- I am GLAD the comments are back and are you still doing a private blog??
