LloydyWeb

Last month I decided to do a little bit of de-lurking, and as part of that I also ran a little contest alongside it.

I asked those commenting on this post to give me their favourite quote - be it their own or one they’ve heard.

My Feedburner stats tell me I have around 50 subscribers to my feed. My site stats suggest that I get a fair few unique visitors to this site everyday. However I don’t see that many comments on my posts to justify these numbers. In the same vein as Veerle and Roger, I think it’s time to ‘de-lurk’!
