Jon's side of the bed
Dear readers, Jon was overwhelmed by your enthusiasm about his guest post. Really. Overwhelmed. He texted me: "They keep commenting!" His delight turned to dismay, though, when I suggested he respond to each comment personally.
"You started a dialogue," I pointed out. "They're engaging with you! Reader engagement is the Holy Grail of blogging. You have to keep it going!"
"But when does it end?"
"Never, Jon. It never ends, because you're building relationships and relationships last for a lifetime."
At that point, Jon turned a bit green and wobbled a little.
I'm not sure my reticent British husband is quite ready to jump into the deep end of blogging just yet. But I'm here to tell you that he did read each of your comments and loved them and will be appearing here regularly! Thank you for welcoming Jon so affectionately to the blogging world. You really are the best.
HA! I love this! x
ReplyDeleteI love how candid and funny Jon is. I can't wait to read more of his insights as a Brit living in the US!
ReplyDeleteHaha, this is great! I really enjoyed his post as well. He's quite a funny person!
ReplyDeletehaha! This would be my mans reaction as well.
ReplyDeleteHa! I don't know why but this really made me laugh. I guess a taste of the good life is enough. I'll look forward to more posts from him from time to time but won't expect replies to my comments.
ReplyDeleteThey keep commenting!! I love that!
ReplyDelete=)
ReplyDeleteHa! Love it - so fun that he's willing to play along at all (and now he must totally get the satisfaction of blogging, right? Nothing beats having some acknowledgement that someone out there read and maybe even enjoyed something you've written!).
ReplyDeleteAmazing! 'They keep commenting' and going green when it's suggested you reply to every single on - such a boy response! He must totally get why we all love blogging though now?!
ReplyDeleteAh, bless!
ReplyDeletehaha if Sam responds to all his comments, Jon will be shamed 😝
ReplyDeletehe will definitely be back!
ReplyDeletehe has his moments 😉
ReplyDeleteexplains why there are so few (straight) male lifestyle bloggers, I guess!
ReplyDeletewell, I'll work on him - hopefully you'll get a response one day! hope springs eternal ☺️
ReplyDeletehaha he was genuinely surprised! it was sweet.
ReplyDeleteso true! I do think he understands the draw for me a little better now.
ReplyDeleteSUCH a boy response. but yes, I think he is getting it - walk a mile in someone else's shoes, etc!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same when I think about responding to comments sometimes!!
ReplyDelete"But when does it end?"
ReplyDeleteNEVER, JON! YOU'RE ONE OF US NOW! Bwahahahahaha!
