Shannon Schwabe - Thank you so much for this! I now feel like I can read my blogs again!

Jeff Krieger - Try this too: http://www.acrylicapps.com/times/

Tina - How did I not know about this before??? I just set up my google reader with all my blogs and I LOVE it! Thanks Melissa!

Ruby Slippers - I'm a huge Google Reader junkie, but I'm trying to trim down the blogs I follow because I'm just absolutely unable to keep up anymore! I think I follow at least 1000 blogs. Yikes. I had no idea that reading your blog in G Reader didn't count as a hit on your site. I always do that unless I want to comment, so some people are missing a ton of hits from me! Including you. Sorry :-)

Amanda Mays - Love Google Reader, it's a life saver for blog stalkers ;) If I comment on the blog you do have to click to thier actual site so they should get the click credit that way =)

moraima - oh i LOVE google reader, i have hundreds of items to be read, that is what got me addicted to blogs :-D

Stacy - Melissa - I just recently found your blog and I love it! You post all kinds of fun images and I love that you spread the love over to your vendors as well. I also LOVE my google reader and your blog is a regular read when it comes up "new". I can't wait to see what inspiring images you've just posted.

Melissa Jill :) - Good catch Shawna--it should say "Mesa." I believe that was fixed a long time ago. Better double check though! :)

shawna - ps does the description really say Messa? ;o)

shawna - guilty subscriber right here! i'm not sure if gr has improved or ruined my life ;o) i myself have only 6 subscribers, and for fun i just took a peek, one of my subscriptions has almost 10,000 subscribers! i can't imagine all that responsibility. you do a wonderful job here, and your posts are a delight, thanks for filling up my reader with good vibes. :O)

Melissa Jill :) - Karen--That’s a great point and not dumb/dorky at all :). It is true that when you view a blog through GR the visit is not counted on the blog's stats. But you can still click through to the actual blog posts from Google Reader (and just use GR to see when the blog is updated) and that will allow your visit to count on the blog stats.

peter davis - I'm one of the 1,220 Google reader subscribers and I found you by browsing around! Keep up the great work, my wife and I love your blog!

rebekah - google reader is the BEST ever! seriously a time saver and so easy to keep up with all these awesome blogs - LIKE YOURS - that i totally stalk. LOL! :) thanks for the spreadin' the love.

Karen (Mikols) Bonar - Ok, ok, ok. I keep getting told this .... BUT I am such a junkie and LOVE seeing where people are from on my blog stats. If I do a reader, the blogs I stalk lose my stat. Is that dumb/dorky? ;)

Jenny Bishop - LOVE Google Reader and LOVE your blog!! :)

Michael - I am a subscriber and agree blog love is wonderful. Having only 6 subscribers myself the more the merrier!

Tira J - You know that every time my Google Reader comes up with your bloggity blog blog, I am there! So, now the question is how do I get from a measly LOW number of subscribers to your number? Receiving blog love is the best. However, I have had a recent discovery. I get over 300 hits a day and everybody is SHY! I did a post a few weeks ago about being shy. It helped a little. Love you MJ! You are a total inspiration!
