To my 50 or so RSS subscribers: Who are you?
I really want to know.
At least half a dozen are places like Urban Vancouver where my feed gets distributed including my own subscriptions to Feedburner and FeedBlitz to make sure everything is working. That means 48 subscribers are real people.
From conversations in real life and online, I know that at least two regular readers include Rebecca and Kiera and my own records keep track of who is linking to me
But who else is reading my feed, seeing my Twitter musings, watching my Flickr photos and delicious bookmarks, checking on my business activities – friends, acquaintances, competitors? It would be nice to know.
Many pundits say that a blog is a conversation and sometimes I’m not very conversational. I don’t like re-inventing the wheel either, so despite the interest I have for composting and urban sustainability, I don’t blog news about this unless I feel it affects me or my community directly. I commend people who do blog about their passion and expertise.
Here’s the deal: if I’m on your blogroll, I’ll add you to mine. How to let me know? Leave a comment to this post. Simple. If you want to be private about it, that’s okay. Send me an email bokashiman@gmail.com
And there’s more! For every person who comments on this post between now and August 10, 2008 I will donate $1.00 to City Farmer – Canada’s Office of Urban Agriculture. Need a topic to comment on? Wish me a Happy Birthday!:-) Letting me know how long you have been reading my blog and why you like it would be good and don’t forget to include a link.
Have a great day! I know I will.

Hello! I’ve been reading your blog for a while now, maybe a year? I like to keep up to date on the Vancouver Farmer’s Markets, etc, as I’ve moved to Port Moody and don’t make it out there any more.
Happy Birthday –
I read you and your are on my blogroll
Oh and I need a Bokashi kit – where can I pick one up from you?
Hi!
Happy birthday!
I suppose I’m one of the fifty :). Found you some time ago when I was trying to find out more about bokashi. Since I live in Europe I didn’t order from you, but I did get myself a bokashi bucket and used it in winter (in summer it’s easier to use the compost heap directly – and I’m quite sure a really well set up compost heap eventually achieves the same qualities as bokashi).
Unless you read dutch there’s not much point in adding me to your blogroll :).
I’d find it hard to explain why I like some blogs and not others, but I always enjoy following yours!
Stephen,
I’ll be at the Riley Park Farmers Market from 12:30pm – 5:30pm tomorrow [Wednesday]. See you then.:-)
Hi J, Don’t hesitate to ask me any questions about bokashi if you need to. Thanks for the feedback.
I’m a little behind but you already knew I was here. 🙂
As always, it’s nice to be known.
Hey there Al. I have you RSS’d to my ‘Google Reader’and read you regularly. I am a bit of a rogue however, and have chosen to go ‘anti-establishment’ by using a regular five gallon bucket, brewing my own Activated EM-1 and making my own Bokashi. Yes, yes, I know I’m fringe, but I have been so all my life. 😉
