January 10, 2008
It’s that time of year again. If you are here please comment today, even if you just say hi. Delurk, or if you are regular commenter say hi anyway.

Show yourself.
For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, lurkers read blogs and never comment. De-lurking is what it sounds like – come out of the woodwork. You can say anything. It doesn’t even have to make sense.
Thanks to Chris at Rude Cactus for keeping the day alive and Aimee of Greeblemonkey for the hilarious button.

I’m a pretty new reader. I think you’re just great but I’m always shy about leaving comments. Makes me feel all nakedy and stuff.

Hi Sarah. I found you when you commented on my blog a few weeks ago, and I’ve been coming back ever since. But, um, do I have to show my privates?
January 10th, 2008 at 10:55 am, Katie Says:
I don’t have to make sense? Thank goodness because my baby is 7 months old and I haven’t slept in a month!

Hi Sarah – this is my first comment on a blog. Ever. I LOVE lurking. I have no idea anymore how I found your site but I really enjoy your take on things and check for updates every day. Thanks for inviting me to stop looking through the metaphorical window to say hi. Keep up the great work. – Beth
January 10th, 2008 at 1:05 pm, Deanna Says:
Hi! I’ve been reading for a couple of months although I have never commented. I love hearing about the goon squad. Motherhood is sooooo much fun, huh?
January 10th, 2008 at 1:06 pm, Kemp Says:
Does it count as a de-lurking if I’m not really a lurker to begin with?

Long time reader AND commenter. Be glad that I’m not boring you with my story of being stranded on the side of the road for 2hrs when my car broke down on the way to work. Oh wait, I just did.
January 10th, 2008 at 2:26 pm, Phoenix Says:
I always read, rarely comment. So hi! (waves)

Okay I’m a lurker but you’re on my blogroll. Does that count? No? Well atleast I’m not a lurker anymore.
January 10th, 2008 at 4:55 pm, Gwen Says:
Hello. I am not really a lurker, I just don’t comment often. The boy seems to take delight in taking me away from the computer when I try to type. Hence the no commenting or bad typos.
January 10th, 2008 at 5:01 pm, Christina Says:
I’m here! I’m a sucky commenter, but I’m still reading.
January 10th, 2008 at 5:01 pm, Colleen Says:
Hi!
This delurking day is making my blog reading go very slowly. And I just found out from Mrs. Flinger that it’s actually Delurking Week!!! I’ll never catch up.
haha
January 10th, 2008 at 5:14 pm, Chris Says:
Howdy from a lurker/crappy commenter.
Now back to my silent little world…
January 10th, 2008 at 5:20 pm, Sports Mama Tracy Says:
Hi!! I de-lurk occasionally, and wave at you from Arizona!
I didn’t know today WAS a de-lurking day. Huh.
January 10th, 2008 at 5:38 pm, Dan Says:
I’m sort of de-lurking as I’m an occasional visitor (so many blogs, so little time), I’m more of a peeping tom than a lurker really.
January 10th, 2008 at 6:12 pm, Jennifer Says:
Hi! I *think* I’ve commented before, but maybe not.
January 10th, 2008 at 6:14 pm, christina Says:

Hi! I never know what to say here.
I’m recommending your blog on mine today.
January 11th, 2008 at 12:16 am, Buster's Momma Says:
Um, “here” as in “in the comments”
not “here” as in “about your site”
(which I love to read, BTW)

I have 29 minutes to delurk myself, so I will take this opportunity to say hi and Happy Delurking Day!! Read your blog almost daily, but seldom (if ever??) have commented.
Hope your Delurking Day was good!! Is there a Delurking Fairy? Maybe I should print off a copy of this post and put it under my pillow…..

I’ve left a comment now and again, but I mostly lurk here.
January 11th, 2008 at 4:03 pm, Karl Says:
Holy crap, look at all these comments!
I’m not really a lurker as much as I am a poor visitor and commenter.

January 14th, 2008 at 10:16 pm, amyb Says:

January 19th, 2008 at 1:21 am, M.A. Smith Says:
Well, I’m late, but I’m commenting to say “Hi”. I would have commented on the 10th if I had had internet access then, but I only got it back today (the 18th).
February 6th, 2008 at 1:28 am, Michael Moore Says:
Ayee! How far behind am I on my online reading? I am the last delurker by weeks.
