I love the forum too, with its exchange of opinions and ideas, but love the blog for your insight into fashion. I'm not as likely to read all links because of time (I am already extending my lunch hour here at work!) but when I do I enjoy them also. Thanks to all three of you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/3#post-1692520 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 16:35:38 +0000 skylurker 1692520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that's the truth Angie, starting conversations with the smart ladies here is the biggest incentive to join the forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/3#post-1692510 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 16:13:30 +0000 Elizabeth P 1692510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I rarely comment on the blog posts because they feel so public.&nbsp; And for some reason, that bothers me. &nbsp; I know the forum is as well, but I have several friends that read the blog faithfully and don't bother with the forum, so I'm sure there are thousands of others.&nbsp; </p> <p>Just know I do read it faithfully, look forward to it every day, hang on every word, and really really appreciate all that you (and the team) do to make this a very very special place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/3#post-1692489 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 15:18:12 +0000 Angie 1692489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you are another who comments on EVERY post I write, and I couldn't be more grateful for your support.

It tickles my toes that you appreciate the heart of YLF - which is the blog content<b></b>. You are one of those who comments on EVERY post and I can't thank you enough. And FWIW, I can't be happier that you are participating on the forum because you enrich it in a special way. Much love to you.&nbsp;<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1692441 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 13:28:12 +0000 Lisa 1692441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always try to pop on back to a blog post when I ask a question because I know you'll answer it for me. &nbsp;I've never had a question go unanswered in all of the years I've been with YLF. &nbsp;And I really appreciate. &nbsp;You and Greg are truly special Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1692380 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 09:20:02 +0000 Inge 1692380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's so very thoughtful of you to say, Suz, and thank you so much. There is NO need to apologize at all!! <br />And for the record: Please never feel obligated to comment, YLF should remain fun, not hard work:-) We just wanted everyone to know that we do read every single comment (and absolutely appreciate each and everyone of them), and will always try to answer any questions that come up in the comments.</p> <p>Also: I totally get what you and Beth Ann (you cracked me up with your last sentence:-)) are saying: that's the fun and "danger" of posts like Link Love, isn't it:-)</p> <p>Style Fan - Just so you know: your "Thanks" is always much appreciated!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1691719 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 18:28:39 +0000 Style Fan 1691719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also read Inge blog posts but don't always comment because I haven't read the links.&nbsp; Sometimes I just write "Thanks" but that seems silly.&nbsp; I do read the links though and appreciate Inge's work.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1691592 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 14:01:07 +0000 kkards 1691592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>like so many others, i often read the blog posts without commenting because i feel like I'm &nbsp;"late"….thank's for clarifying that there is no late.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1691587 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 13:57:29 +0000 Beth Ann 1691587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>P.S. &nbsp;Skylurker -- I'm so glad you're participating in the forum. &nbsp;You add a special sort of flair and a thoughtful, unique voice.</p> <p>Inge: &nbsp;Suz is right -- I always read too, but have clicked so many links that, by the time I'm through the marvelous list, I'm thinking I should maybe go make dinner or do a load of laundry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1691586 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 13:55:17 +0000 Beth Ann 1691586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie, for a behind the scenes look at blog comments. &nbsp;I read every blog post, of course, and comment on most days. &nbsp;On super busy days, or when I'm out, I hate to post comments with my thumbs on my smallish iPhone 5S. &nbsp; &nbsp;I have always assumed that to comment the next day was just "too late."</p> <p>My DH teaches entirely online -- I know what it means to answer emails all day -- on vacation, etc. &nbsp;He strives to answer his students in a timely manner, since they're often doing their work on weekends, or after long work shifts. &nbsp;He also wants them to feel like they're getting the best, most helpful interaction possible. &nbsp;I am proud of his commitment to excellence, and I benefit from yours everyday!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1691574 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 13:28:19 +0000 Suz 1691574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Inge,</b> thank you for pointing that out. It's the ones you post that I comment about least...and believe me, that is not about YOU!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I will tell you why. The link love post is one I find very interesting but often I like to follow up on the links before saying anything, and then either I get sucked down that rabbit hole and forget to come back, or by the time I have absorbed and thought about it, it feels "too late."&nbsp;</p> <p>I do try when I can to post in response to blogger outfits posts because I know what a thrill it must be for those bloggers to appear on YLF's carefully curated site and how important it would be to get some feedback; it only seems polite.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway, my apologies for this and I will aim to say at least "Hello,I read this!" Because you are doing us a very valuable service, keeping our minds fresh and the conversation going.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1691567 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 13:03:42 +0000 Eliza 1691567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie- Your attention to YLF details matches your that of your focus on outfit integrity. I should be used to it by now, yet every time I see how you respond to your blog posts, I am impressed with how you do stay with it all the way through the replies.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1691535 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 11:31:37 +0000 viva 1691535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie. I always read the blog but don't always comment - I'm not sure why -- so I'll comment more. You know that I always have an opinion. :)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1691512 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 10:41:20 +0000 Inge 1691512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: It goes without saying that the same goes for all posts written by me. So Debbie, never hesitate to comment whenever you want;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1691489 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 08:50:56 +0000 Sal 1691489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did understand how the blog worked and I admire your dedication and genuine approach. I read about 95 percent of blog posts and I guess comment on about half. I started with the archives and occasionally delve back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1691458 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 06:26:00 +0000 skylurker 1691458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I come here for the blog content, I find it interesting, useful, entertaining, and I like your take on things : pedagogical and positive. I also love your style and enjoy your outfit posts.<br /> I started participating in the forum lately and I don't know how I feel about that yet.<br /> I usually comment after reading the post (except when I'm on holiday).<br /> I often look up the archives, but I won't comment on older blog posts, you've got too much on your plate with the daily flux already.</p> <p>It's true the comments are unusually polite compared to other comment sections on the internet.<br /> And I'm convinced it's because you answer the comments, so people know they are read. Leave them alone and they will fight with each other (btw, I think it's a good idea we can't "reply" to a comment on the blog like I've seen it done on newspaper blogs) or they will start ranting in the open space like mad people ranting on the streets.</p> <p>To be honest, I would have stopped commenting after a while if you never responded, I'd feel too lonely and stupid commenting in a void. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1691456 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 06:08:51 +0000 Kate 1691456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you posted this, Angie. I very rarely comment on a blog post, since I usually don't have a chance to read it until late at night and figure any comment I might make has already been made many times over. I didn't realize you we're notified of each comment.</p> <p>However, I do read your blog every day--and have been doing so for six years. Just know you have a very appreciative reader here who has benefited greatly from your wisdom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1691449 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 05:17:26 +0000 Mac 1691449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for clarifying, in your typical thoughtful, caring-for-others manner.&nbsp; I usually post late: as a single mother to a toddler.... oh, who am I trying to kid? ;)&nbsp; I was never particularly gifted with time management, even before my life became more delightfully hectic.&nbsp; Anyway, I love these gentle guidelines and reminders. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1691440 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 04:27:37 +0000 Muffin 1691440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you sleep?! Thank you so much and to everyone who participates in this wonderful world of YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1691430 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 03:46:00 +0000 Debbie 1691430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are amazing! I had thought about commenting on the weekly round up post this morning but didn't. Now I know better. Love all you do for us!<br /> I am not sure how I could dressed without the blog! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1691429 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 03:42:53 +0000 unfrumped 1691429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this is helpful. I have made some late comments but often think that would be thought weird, and I can't get to it every day; or sometimes it's that I'm so behind the curve and then, hello, I get into a style or item discussed on the blog months ago and I'd like to say<br /> something but figured that's lame. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1691425 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 03:25:53 +0000 Nishaa 1691425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You rock, Angie.<br /> Like Suz, I also read older posts. In fact I'd search for a particular thing like wide legs and read all the posts and most comments, it helps when I'm trying to take a sartorial decision. I may have a question or two. I'll bother you now.<br /> Keep up the good work dear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1691419 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 03:07:45 +0000 aly 1691419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Angie. Processing every single comment is a massive job! You truly are amazing :)</p> <p>I have no idea how others would feel about this - but if you need to take a break (a proper break - a week, a day, a month, no blogging, no commenting...whatever suits you), I would make the effort to return regularly. You have built a beautiful community and it would be very sad if...well...it just got too much... Most of us get some version of a proper break from our jobs and really appreciate them. I understand that this could be very difficult for you - you even maintained the blog during your family holiday in Europe!</p> <p>(I have taken the liberty of saying this because I have made the mistake of forgetting that I am a human and not a machine before ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1691358 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 00:16:51 +0000 MTBGirl 1691358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have often wondered if it was too late to comment and so did not. A little while ago I read a comment you made somewhere that it's never too late. I am like Summer in that sometimes I'm early and sometimes I'm late and sometimes I'm really late. I often open YLF and sign on, and then hours later realize I never got a chance to "get my daily dose" and sign off hoping that I'll be able to get a chance later. Your dedication and ability is to be admired!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1691344 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 23:51:54 +0000 Brooklyn 1691344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must admit I often read the blog late. And sometimes very late because of seasonal differences. I had assumed it was too late to comment and will try to comment more. Thanks for clearing that up Angie. Your energy and dedication is very inspiring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1691330 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 23:22:23 +0000 Bonnie 1691330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've always thought that you were reading every post but couldn't understand how it was possible. Reading this forum post is like finding out that Santa is really real. You have an amazing love and concern for this blog and it shows in every comment you make. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-post-commenting-on-ylf/page/2#post-1691322 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 22:53:05 +0000 Runs With Scissors 1691322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thanks for this. &nbsp;I am one who is loathe to comment unless I think I have something "important" to say, which can become an artificially high bar in my own head (and was the reason when I first joined YLF several years ago I ended up dropping back out). &nbsp; And like others, if I am not early to comment I'll often not comment at all. &nbsp;</p> <p>I am also awed by your dedication in keeping up with the flood of inputs here on the site. &nbsp;It is a *huge* thing to be consistently dedicated to, but it's clear from the voices here what a difference it makes! </p>
