i posted this here because i think more people come to the diary section than any other. and i hope yall dont think im bein too brazen or anything posting this...but i noticed today that there were a lot of 0 answered posts in the new people section. i feel absolutely terrible about this because i know how unwelcomed i would feel if it was me posting and 30 people viewed it from a week ago but nobody bothered to answer. maybe this is part of the reason some people dont bother to stick around?

You are right, if I didn't get a welcome, I wouldn't feel very welcome either. I just kinda forgot, thanks for the reminder, I'll try to remember to say hi to the newcomers!

That's a good point. Thank you for posting this. I havn't been to the new member section since I joined, so thank you for the reminder

Hi,

Your post was interesting to me. When I started journaling, I assumed I would not get posts from others. I am doing this to help sort out what I'm doing for myself, and if anyone can benefit, that's all the better.

I have to admit though, that I do love it when I get a post. It was a nice little extra.

Thank you for sharing.

Your soo right wonderwoman!.....I know I was so happy when people posted to me. That is why I am on here everynight/day and have motivation b/c I have some one responding to me....so I will go to the newcomer section and start my welcoming!!!!

Doh!! You're absolutely right.

just a reminder
