Hope that foot is better soon. Anyway, I thought upon reading this, hey, I am female, American, live in Hainan, and blog about it, but I really don't know if I'm all that intersting! Plus, my blog's on xanga so it's blocked in China, so probably that's one reason not to read it. Then I was reading your comments and hope this isn't considered spam since I'm not a regular commenter here. Ah well, in spite of my doubts, I've commented anyway. My blog is www.xanga.com/Mouseneb Hey I came across your blog today and am enjoying it. Hope that foot is better soon.

Hrmph. Heh. I don't post in it daily like I do photos, but a few times per week usually. I have to admit, I do not regularly read any female bloggers in China. The Western female friends I have here have blogs set up, but they post so irregularly I barely check them without an email prompting me too. Seriously, they usually post at the most once per month. Once per month seems more like a newsletter than a blog? I dunno. Thanks for the other suggestions. I'll check those out. Hey I have a written section too! Hrmph. Heh.

It's bad blog/commenter etiquette. Most of the time you post a comment it has nothing to do with, or to add to the conversation, but only displays a link to your blog and tells people to visit it. That's SPAMMING. You don't need to include a link to your blog, as your name is hyperlinked already. I usually delete your comments for this reason (as I do for other comments that taste of SPAM) - however, I'll leave this one as a case in point. @Siyan: No one is really commenting on the quality of your blog, it’s the way you SPAM other bloggers’ comments to promote it.

And as Lou said, thanks for featuring us on your blog. Publicity, at least when it is positive publicity, is always a good thing. :) Thanks again.

Spam that, and wrath be released unto you. My philosophy has always been that if I want people to read my blog, I should illustrate that I read theirs (ie. posting relevant comments or linking to them). @Philippe: I'm not going to tell you again - stop taking photos outside my bathroom window. I'll be NO MAN'S SECRET PROJECT!

Can't talk about it now. They're listening. But it's coming. It's going to be BIG! (...creeps away back into the shadows, picks the camera back up and waits for his pray...)
