Blogging the bloggers

Ever Google yourself to see if you appeared somewhere unexpected, like in someone else's blog?
I did, and came up with some interesting bits. Of course, many Coast articles appeared, as did links to restos and other places that I'd reviewed favourably. Also found some music reviews done by a "Liz Feltham", who isn't me.
One blog I found interesting is attached to a site called Eating Halifax. The blog is called Dishing, and the writer spends a lot of time linking to reviews written by the three Halifax food writers, and commenting on those reviews.
I always enjoy hearing about someone's opinion of my articles, because food is a very subjective thing--a group of people can eat out and have as many different opinions about the meal as there are chairs at the table.
And when readers do contact me, I don't mind that they agree or disagree with what I've said, as long as they're not abusive but that's another entry. After all, the greatest gift to a writer is the ability to evoke a response in the reader.
