Looking for a Few Good Followers

Dear Readers,

Today marks (La) luna's five-month birthday, and I want to thank everyone for your continuing interest and participation in the blog. I also want to take the opportunity at this five-month mark to ask those who visit the blog anonymously (the lurkers) to please click the "follow" button located in the right-hand sidebar near the top of the page. It might seem unimportant, but followers mean a lot to bloggers. They are one of the few indicators of how well we're doing, how well we're connecting with readers. I'd also like to encourage more of you to leave comments on the individual blog posts. I greatly appreciate the comments that are left and because of this, I answer each one. I've written this before but it bears repeating: the readers are a big reason (La) luna has evolved into such a wonderful blog, and I would love to hear from more of you out there in cyberspace, so please hit that "follow" button!. Thank you

  2. happy birthday! I love this five-month baby since the day I saw her (in case this blog has any sex, of course). So thanks to you for fathering she!
    I became a follower and I know how important for bloggers it is.

  19. It doesn't work. It says:

    "We're sorry...

    We were unable to handle your request. Please try again or return a bit later."

    Still I usually read every post on here.

  20. Jon, which post are you referring to? Megaupload does this sometimes, but if you try later it will usually work

  32. I'm a dedicated follower... but have to remain anonymous while at work. Big brother is always watching. Since my indie record store went out of business this is the closest thing to talking with the staff about obscure musical gems. A sincere thanks for taking up the mantle and keep up the great work. I thought I knew a lot about music but you have turned me on to some fantastic sounds I never knew existed. Cheers to you!
