Wondering what a Blurker is? Well, it’s a phrase that Mike & I helped to define back in 2002, shortly after we first met.
Blurker (BLUR-kur): n. 1. One who reads many blogs but leaves no evidence of themselves such as comments behind; a silent observer of blogs. 2. One who reads many blogs but has no blog of their own; a blog-watcher or blog voyeur.
So if you want to increase your traffic or meet new people – whatever works for you – then shake off the label and comment. I promise, we’re nice around here.

Okay, I’m a blurker, I admit it. shhhh….I may have commented once or twice, so not completely a blurker? Does that count?
Huh, I thought that was alurker…..care of de-lurking days…..which I think was jan 7th….in the blog circles I ran……really enjoying your blog though …branching out an dall.
Cool site! I find myself returning often…I guess I must be a bluker! 😉
haha, yeah sometimes i’m a blurker too. but not today 🙂 i love your site btw, it’s adorable!
I think its a slow comment period as my comments have dropped way off as well.
Like the new design, BTW.
Not a blurker… but I’ll comment anyway!
I think I’ve commented here before, but it’s been a while. Reading the title of your blog makes me hungry.
oh my… i’ve been called a lot of things… now i must confess to being a blucker. Anyway, I have enjoyed your blog for quite some time. There, I’ve said it.
Oops… it seems i can’t even spell blurker
I’m only a semi-blurker as I have commented before here at the Cookie, but I don’t think I have in quite a long time. I read ya regularly through Bloglines!

Ok – this is my first comment here, I think. 🙂 I enjoy reading your blog. 🙂
Another fun thing to do is to leave a comment on a blog you’ve recently discaovered/added to your list of feeds. It may become a reciprocal thing if you’re lucky.
Ok, since I am reading your blog pretty much everyday I guess I can say “Hello!” once in a while (even if I am a bit late…).
But I really don’t know what to comment on.
Good work, though, keep it up!
Ok, I’m a blurker too. I’m a Houston transplant in New Hampshire. I started reading your blog when I got homesick for Houston. 🙂
You know that I always have a lot to say!
Only a semi-blurker, so hello again!
I guess you could say I’m a blurker. Sorry 🙁
I really do love reading your blog though. And I love the paris skin! 😉
I’m a day late but hello!!
Throw your hands up!
Yes, I do return quite frequently and leave no comments… 😛
Hi, my name is Reanne, and I’m blurker. I have been reading your site for quite some time, I don’t have mine own blog, and when I see most commenters on blogs are bloggers themseleves, well I don’t want to elbow my way in to the community with no blog of my own to offer. What’s going on with Smaller Pink Cookie? I haven’t seen a post in awhile.
Hey, Hi….I’m late as usual AND I’m a blurker….does this mean I’m going to hell?
Guilty..

“Blurker” ~ I like that. Good word! I have a few of those who visit my site! 🙂
Well, I’m not really a blurker as I am a slacker. I am just now getting around to reading my blogs. Miss you!!
[…] Case in point: Christine @ A Big Pink Cookie was talking today about blurking and I read that post without reading the previous post and left a comment. (although I have since gone back , and none of my comments are there, so either she has a modifier for her comments, my computer doesn’t like hers and wont’ leave messages, or she hates me. […]
