Come Out, Come Out - Wherever You Are!
After a few years holding down a Blogger account, I registered my first domain in 2003. Over the next six years, I changed it three times. (What can I say - I was indecisive.) I played with WordPress and Type Pad, but still, despite the fact that it can be a pain in the rear, my favorite blogging platform remained MovableType.
Eventually, I threw in the towel. I felt like I had said all that I had to say. I was tired of sharing, so when my last domain expired in 2009, so did my blog. I said goodbye to lots of blogging buddies. I've made some great friends, and I've had the pleasure of meeting some wonderful people "in real life" thanks go blogging.
When we tackled the redesign of BalcomAgency.com, we wanted to have a voice, a way to reach out and interact with you: our clients, our vendors and our friends. Blogging became the doorway between our lives and our workplace and yours. We give you some industry insight. We tell you funny stories. We make you read about quilts. (Okay, that's just me...)
Here at the B, I am the most frequent blogger so much so that we all poke fun at and joke about my (excessive) posting. Of our collective 130ish blog posts, 55 are mine. As it turns out, I wasn't out of things to say after all!
With all of this nerdery under my belt, it's with great excitement that today, I bring Delurker Day to the B.
Delurker Day is loads of fun for bloggers. We know that we're posting things, that somehow you're finding your way to us, and that you're reading (after all – we are in love with our analytics!). We appreciate every comment we get and love interacting with you. But we also know that some of you are the quiet type – that you take in the things we say without ever replying because, let's face it, sometimes, "Neat!" just doesn't feel comment-worthy.
Today is the one day we're asking you to say hello. We want to know who you are. Do you feel like you always comment and that, "Nah – they already know me!" Go ahead – say hi anyway! Maybe you've never commented before? Give it a shot. You'll love it.
Be sure to visit the blogs of all of your favorite B's today and say hello! We'll B Excited to hear from you.

Hello from my doctors office. Ho hum. I think I'm going to get Jamba Juice as my post dr treat. Maybe.
Mags, you sure know how to have a good time on the days you're not in the office! I hope you get everything squared away and feel better fast. :o) When I worked downtown, we'd often get Jamba Juice for lunch in the summers. So yummy... I vote yes to Jamba this afternoon!
In support of Delurker Day I decided to come out of hiding and say "hello!". (I'll admit, I'm usually the quiet type who reads and doesn't comment.) I've been following Balcom Agency for awhile now and I just love reading the new blog posts. They never fail to be fun and entertaining. I hope you continue to write and break a new blog record at the "B"! Thank you!
Hi, Tara!! We're sure glad to know that you're reading and enjoying what we have to say!
I always get a laugh when I come here to read the blogs so I am equally disappointed when they haven't been updated. So, don't wait so long between updates. Its good that you embrace your nerdom. I like a person who knows who they are and aren't afraid to put it out there to the rest of the world.
