I have always tried to upvote comments on my blog, although I don’t have much of a stake so people might not really notice. Regardless, I think it’s a great way to say thanks to those who not only take the time to read, but also engage. And I will say this, if I find a cool blog here on PeakD and leave a few comments over a week or so, but get no real response from the author… then I disengage and stop upvoting/commenting on their stuff. Nobody likes a one-way conversation.
I’m a small fish on here but I’m lucky to have the support of other humor writers like meesterboom and nonames. I wish I had time to post more often but unfortunately I have other commitments that steal me away. Plus, it takes quite a while to get all those mountain shots I love to spend my time getting :)
PEople notice. Often, it is more the thought that has the value than the actual value in HIVE.
Yep, me too. I know that some authors get a lot of comments and are busy etc, but I think if they want to get paid, they have to engage.
One of the current values on Hive is being able to engage directly with the author and have a good chance of them replying. Most channels on the internet distance the creator from the crowd.
Just randomly take pictures of things in your fridge instead :D

lol, not a bad idea… except I'm living in a tent in the woods at the moment, and don't own any fridges. Guess it's time to start breaking into homes and taking pictures of the things in strangers' fridges!
Dude you could just get a uniform and call yourself The Fridge Inspector. That way people will let you in and allow you take the things out you feel should not be in there. Photos, free food, new friends; best job ever.
I like it. Nobody's cheese will ever be safe again around these parts! And the bacon, gonna be saving everyone everywhere from the bacon for sure!
Tell them the story about Bacon Poisoning. Works every time...
Yes, of course. I'll have to put together a whole manual of horrifying food stories. I'll stick them all in a big black 3-ring binder with a big scary title like "FEAR YOUR FRIDGE" and I'll probably want to show up in a full hazmat suit too. Also I will need one of those vans with no windows. And a mustache.
I know you mentioned the binder; do not forget the clipboard.
And if some decline the invitation, stuff their mailbox full of pamphlets stating the dangers lurking inside the refrigerator. But do not give them your real name.
It must take time to get rid of the blues too!!!
I always notice a comment upvote regardless of value so I think these things are generally noticed and people appreciate it
Yes, the blues are often a timesuck as well! Both a curse and a source of inspiration at the same time...
Mibbe you should write a song about it. Pick some oddly relevant chords. I dunno, like E, D and A and smoke lots of cigarettes in preparation for the singing?
I could probably write the lyrics, but best to leave the music to someone else… I am a terrible musician :D
And I don't smoke cigarettes, they're horrible for your health. I prefer crack cocaine.
Crack cocaine is certainly a whole lot smoother. I like Mellow Roast.
Most blues players are terrible musicians... runs away from angry blues players...
Believe it or not, I love blues music :) George Thorogood + coffee = a pretty good way to wake up in the wilderness
Oh yes, the good blues musicians are great! I loved it till I heard a million guitar players play it badly! I still like good blues though
