I like your blog! I'd miss it. But I also understand that there's only so much energy and time to go around. Well, nuts. I like your blog! I’d miss it.

I'm glad you're sticking around for a while, but if you choose to stop in the future, I'll have to resepct it.

If you left us I'd miss you. But it's a decision only you can truly make. And whatever it may be, I respect it. May not like it but I respect it. But I like what others have suggested. :wink: I don’t get out on the blogs as much as I used to but I’ve always enjoyed reading yours. If you left us I’d miss you.

If you did move your blog somewhere else, that'd be a neat thing to have on your website.

The majority of comments come from other authors and internet savvy readers. I say, keep your blog separate from your website. I was also indignant when I first visited my favorite author's websites to see that they weren't updating it everyday, or at least once a week--only when something important was happening--until I realized that it's about the books. If a non-internet savvy reader decides to follow that link on the back page, it's mainly to see the other books you've written. They might read the bio, like the pictures, maybe dash off a quick note, but other than that, I don't think that the average reader "cares" about their favorite author outside of their works.
