I love them! :-)

Thank you.

I first met Cary here, more than one month ago. His feedburner counter was at 0. Now he have around 35 readers that follow his story and his writings. The number is always growing, why? Because he is a great gentleman, a good blogger and an inspirating person.

He wrote about a problem that reach many, many people and he wrote it in an elegant way. So, you want to know how to build a readership? Read Cary’s writings, send him emails, discuss with him, and then, you will learn.

Salutations,

Fred

Thank you, Darren, for what you do and the way you do it. And thank you, Cary and Lori, for choosing to connect with others through this horrific experience.

Business/marketing blogs should support cause or “heartfelt” blogs. It makes sense to me since blogs are all about people – it portrays the humanism of the blogger.

I can’t imagine a better way to greet the day than to cruise over to one of your favorite blogs and find people saying nice things about you…Thanks everyone : ) Darren, you are more than kind to write such a great post about us. Like most blogs, we can certainly use the exposure, and I have to tell you that when fighting advanced cancer, every single kind word makes a huge difference. Truly.

John, it’s true… we’ve been fighting for nearly three years, but in the last 6-months or so have really connected with others and tried to tell our story wherever people would listen. It has made a world of difference, both for my wife & I, and for those we’ve met (I hope.) By the way, you are a very prolific commentor. It’s nice to really meet you!

Allen, I promise not to keep bringing up your age…sorry. I just think you are an amazing youngster ; ) and I want the world to know.

Ken, you should absolutely start up that diabetes blog! When I started researching the idea of my Cancer NewsWatch blog, I was a little dismayed to find that while there were a few large, very impersonal commercial cancer blogs just re-hashing news stories, there wasn’t much in the way of real commentary or personal opinion in regards to research, treatments etc. I wanted to offer information that people could really use, as I have collected a vast database of research info, much of which never makes it’s way out of obscure cancer journals. Anyways, I try to bring a personal edge to every single post, and I hope that sets me apart from the rest. I bet it would do the same for you : ) Commercial blogs are fine, of course, but I’m guessing they don’t exactly foster a community in the way that the more personal ones do… I’ll be happy to link you up when you get yours started. We have to stick together.

thanks again, friends

I hope like Cary and Lori’s blog, it will help others get through the hard times. =)

I think what we are doing is a good illustration of the friendliness of the blogging community, and the impact that a couple of people and web site could have.

Most importantly, when all is said and done, hopefully we’ve been able to help out some folks who need it, even if only a small amount.

But meanwhile i focus on these two things, i always say “why not giving a hand if you can? it won’t hurt your blog for sure (in my case), it may help others, and maybe yours too….

I was moved by the Millets’ struggle story, where i first heard about it in the Triathlon Blog, and decided that giving a hand, no matter how small it is ( i have mid-low readership), will be an act that might not just help Lori and Caty, but will also give me self-satisfaction…

by the way Cary: I prefer to be called youngster :P (j/k)
