  4. I just watched your video and I wanted to tell you how nice it was to hear what you said. I follow you on Facebook and Twitter and I think you're so awesome about promoting other blogs by showcasing posts that you like (even more than your own). I'm happy to be a (new) part of the food blogging community and I think you make it better by being in it, too. :-)

  6. You are so wonderful always, I can't imagine how anyone could be offended by you. I do not really know anything about these blogger of the year awards, you know me I have a hard time just catching up with those I enjoy. I think that everyone has something wonderful to share and I agree that it is important to remember that we all started the same place.
    Hope you are having a beautiful week!

  8. Rebecca that was an amazing video , I do agree with u tht all bloggers whether small or big are really special in their own way esp when I surf I get to learn so many differnt cuisines thts where we all started and I do appreciate each ones efforts and time they put into their blog to make it a very special one, and U are amazing and ur blog is equally special in its own beautiful way!

  9. I totally agree with you. I see more and more food blogs seeing it as a popularity contest. They should be reminded that food blogging is a mean to share our love for food and care about others. We are after all a community.

  10. So So real words Rebecca.I cudnt agree more.Its hard to match up with networking pace these days.I always maintain that everybody's effort is precious.Though i m a new kid in blogging but I try to acknowledge each and every comment on my blog as and when time permits.What you said about contests is sadly true.I really like your subtle approach to the topic.Very well put.have nice day.

  11. You bring up a brilliant point. The blogging world is odd there are so many clicks and I think even the biggest food blogger may not realize that there is someone even BIGGER than them. All the more reason to stay focused on being a true communicator and not crawling into a shell the moment you think you've hit the top! Have a lovely day!

  21. Rebecca, you are truly a breath of fresh air in the blogging world. I have noticed the same 'trend' among a certain circle of bloggers that I have personally felt that their blogging attempts were for the purpose of increasing and 'driving traffic'. And yes, these 'top' circle of food bloggers do stop visiting and commenting and one feels betrayed after developing what might have initially felt like a blogging friendship. I agree with every one of your sentiments and have figured out who are my true foodie friends simply be watching trends of who stops responding back to my comments after about 4 or 5 unanswered comments.....I call it blogging kindness and etiquette, simple as that. And yes, I got very tired of the 'biggies' always asking for my vote for some award when they never comment or tweet me either. By the way, I just haven't had time to get on Twitter for the very longest time now, so I hardly know what's going on there! But I go on . . . thank you for your courageous and completely honest thoughts. You're one of my faves, sweetie! Hugs, Roz

  23. Great thoughts, Reb and I think it's a wonderful point to remember that we all contribute ourselves and are equally as important. It can get frustrating when you start trying to compete...and I do find that it's the most fun when just forgetting all that and doing what I love. Although, I do hope that others love it, too ;)

  24. I think what you said is true, there does seem to be division among bloggers, which is a shame, we should all be supporting one another regardless of what level of success we have achieved. Thanks for the heartfelt video.

  26. This is an awesome video Rebecca. I totally agree with you, there are bloggers that are literally sucking the fun out of it. I usually don't bother with them, and am around 'smaller' bloggers like myself, making healthy relationships/friendships with them!

  27. Rebecca I applaud you for bringing this topic out in the open for discussion. I have been thinking the same thing for a long time now but since I am a small and relatively unknown blogger I didn't feel I had any right to run with the "big dogs". Thank you for making me feel special too! I wish you tons of positive feedback from this post. You deserve it!

  28. I agree with EVERYTHING you said. It was nice that someone finally said it...I know I have been feeling this way for awhile. Thank you for being in my "inner circle" :)
