Jennifer is obviously doing a great job as a blogger and building a lively community around wide range of post subjects, I wanted to find out what was going on so I asked her some questions…

Q1. What and why do you blog?
My blog is mainly a personal blog where I write about myself, my children, and anything else that I happen upon that I think is funny. The reason I blog is because it’s where I meet up with my friends everyday, hang out, shoot the breeze…it’s also a great creative and emotional release.

Q2. You get a huge amount of comments on your posts, what’s your secret?
I think that my secret to getting lots of comments is that I try to answer or acknowledge many of the comments I receive. Also, many of my posts ask a question or encourage participation. I’m also very mindful of reciprocating comments, either via leaving a comment on their blog or twittering/stumbling one of their posts. What goes around, comes around!

Q3. What is your most rewarding aspect of blogging?
I love when I get a comment or an email from someone thanking me for describing some aspect of life, motherhood, or marriage in a true light. I also adore when someone tells me that something I’ve written has made them laugh, I mean who doesn’t love to make someone else laugh!

Q4. What are your ambitions for your blog?
I think that as long as I’m writing and enjoying blogging, then my blog goals have been met. I’m very realistic and know that I’m never going to get rich from my blog, nor will I ever get a book deal!

Q5. When did you first discover CommentLuv and how has it made (if any) difference to your blog/comments?
I can’t remember exactly when I discovered CommentLuv, but I do remember that it was one of the first plugins I installed. I definitely think it makes a difference in the number of comments I receive. When I look at my site’s statistics, many of my outclicks are a direct result of CommentLuv.

Here’s a list of my more popular posts…
