It's me who writes here and no-one else.<br /><br />However, every month I'm doin' an interview with one horror/horror-related blogger which I present as <i> Horror Blog Of The Month</i> to my readers.Maynard Morrisseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00484689288762406307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-27613163333682588492012-03-23T07:24:02.624-04:002012-03-23T07:24:02.624-04:00Robyn, I get those all the time.

There's a ...I think your policy is quite fair. There's a delicate line to balance on with guest posts/interviews, because followers of your blog are interested in you. Too many guest posts, and what is the point? There are blogs I haven't followed because I had no idea what the original blogger even posted about; all I saw were guest posts going all the way back. Now, if that is what the blog is all about, that is one thing. Otherwise, it needs to be scattered.<br /><br /><a href="http://thewarriormuse.com/" rel="nofollow">Shannon at The Warrior Muse</a>, co-host of the <a href="http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/" rel="nofollow">2012 #atozchallenge</a>!

I don't have any sort of tablet, though my husband's tenth anniversary gift this year was a Kindle Fire, and he's having a blast with that. <br /><br />Your policy makes sense and sounds very fair. I don't have a lot of guest bloggers--mostly, I try to cycle out what I'm talking about or what's happening on my blog so it's not a lot of one thing grouped together--but it really does depend on what's going on during the month, and blog tours for people, and stuff like that.Laura Josephsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239501665574945313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-23346617189829471882012-03-22T22:44:27.512-04:002012-03-22T22:44:27.512-04:00Yes, it's only fair to prioritize blog buddies...Yes, it's only fair to prioritize blog buddies.
