To that end, I finally started my own food blog, thanks to being so inspired, mostly by you, Kath, and Jenna - I feel like I know you! Did you ever write a post about what YOU think makes a great blog, and what you like to read about in others' blogs? I'd be really curious about that! Kyle :) Meghann,

I'm bored so I took your suggestion of going back and reading your old posts :D LOL I figured I would comment because (besides Lindsey's who I knew in real life) your blog was the first one I ever read. I would check it every day when I was bored at school! I think the reason I kept coming back was because at the time I started reading you were just starting to train for a marathon (something I have always wanted to do). I remember thinking that we had alot in common and it was interesting to see how you were training/fueling and watching your improvements. I always looked up to your determination! Anyways, now that we met in real life I'm happy to say you are just as cool off the blog! lol. Ok, anyways.... Have a great day! Hey Meghann!

I've been re-evaluating my reasons for starting my own blog (I did it because I was cooking fun foods that I wanted to share with others - mostly my sister). I'm still struggling sometimes with how to make my blog interesting to others. I know my sister and friends know me so my rambling makes sense to them, but to other people it's probably boring... i don't know. What did you learn from your last blog experience. What are you make-it or break-it blog thoughts? I love your blog! I think you come up with really creative meals... and your weight loss story + current running improvements are just so motivating!

We don't get paid per commenter, but I do get paid by impression so if you want to keep refreshing my blog at your work that would be awesome. :) I think a good reader is one that keeps reading. The comments are nice just to let me know that you are out and my message is hitting someone. Commenting is all up to you. :) Julie that is too sweet of you!

I agree with the others - I keep coming back because you all are so genuine and real...and the recipes are great, the foods you eat are inspiring, and your running is awesome. It hasn't gotten me moving yet since it's winter and I don't have a gym membership either, but....I love to read the blogs at work when I'm bored and at home to make sure I'm not missing anything! Question for you - what makes a good reader? I've been reading for a long time, but I rarely comment. Do you guys make money off the comments? I feel like commenting would just add another line re-stating what everyone above me has already said....but if it helps financially, I could do it...I just don't chime in unless I have something original to say! :) My story is the same as Justy2003 – I was reading eatlikeme on Self.com and people were talking about this Jenna person and Kath’s blog…so I did some investigating and got hooked on those two blogs…and through them found Caitlin and you, and now I read all 4 all the time!

I started out with Cristin's EatLikeMe blog, then found Kath's, then Jenna's, then they all sort of exploded all over the internet! I have a certain few that I always read, and it's almost like a little story for each of them and I enjoy reading not only about the food, but their lives as well! I found yours through Caitlin's and one of the reasons I keep coming back is to get some inspiration for running. I got more into running over the summer and I love the passion you have for it!

I discovered a cooking blog and I guess it opened up a new world for me. I am a stay at home mom and I felt like I needed something for me...so that's what happened. I love the blogging community! I recently thought about starting a more healthy living/food blog, but not sure if I'll be able to keep up with it. I just started visiting your blog and I love it!! I keep hearing about you from Catilin, Itzy and others! :) I’m not sure why I started blogging… I discovered a cooking blog and I guess it opened up a new world for me.

I just recently began, but I have a journalism degree, so writing was a love of mine from when I was little. So far, I love it. It has already changed me. Just today Caitlin inspired a huge goal for me. Check it out: www.freetolivelovelaugh.com I actually was so inspired between you, Jenna and Caitlin to start my own blog.
