Lost Encouragement

 

Since I first started to post comments on particular blogs that catch my eye I have lost 4 comments and even more cheers.

 

What happens is this.  I get excited and want to share a few thoughts with someone.  So I post a comment.  I have found that when the persons profile is private, the comment does not go through and the message is lost.  While this is all fine and of no real concern.

 

It's terrific that many of you in the TTL community choose to maintain a higher level of privacy.  It's great that this privacy feature is in place.  Just realize that some of us are cheering you and encouraging you in comments and it's not registering because you are in private mode.  While the lost message or cheer is no big deal.  It is however important to let you know that you are being supported.

 

One final thing I don't send out messages to people when I find they are in private, it kind or defeats the purpose of them being in private.  You have to respect someone when they have opted for the private feature.

Those Private blogs and profiles

All good points.

 

Know that often a member does not realize they are on private. I judge by the bit of their blog I can read. If it says, "Hi guys this week I am..." well then I'm pretty sure the person intend and wants the blog to be read and responded to. So I let them know they are on private and we can't read or respond so if they want to change it they do have the option.

 

It's some effort and investment to cheer and comment so I agree it's better if it gets through. I'm glad you take the time and care to support others and respond...

mirror

what i find cool about the TTL community (or any online community) is that it's simply a mirror of our face-to-face communities. we make choices about how we interact with people. i get all kinds of comments on my blog posts. some people are telling me what to do, others relate back to their own experience, some simply remark directly back at what i'm doing.

 

what we communicate and with whom we communicate on TTL is as educational as the TTL program, in my mind.
