Thanks to Maggie for the prompt (Blogging Advice and Questions). It gave me a reason not to do the other things I had planned.
- Do you respond to every comment, even if it is just an emoji?
Yes. Even a ‘like’ let’s the commenter know that you have read and appreciate the interaction. - Are there styles, colors, or fonts that make reading a blog more difficult?
Short answer: Yes. Not so short: It varies from reader to reader, so it’s difficult to choose on that will appeal to all. If the font is to small, I’ll usually skim or pass. - Under what circumstances would you block a user?
I haven’t had to block any bloggers yet, but I have unfollowed a few. I am impressed with the spam blocker that WordPress has. I have to go through the spam folder quite often to clean it out. I’ll usually—umm, I mean always—block the users offering to show their naughty bits. - Are there certain topics you refuse to engage with?
Depends. Sometimes a post is set up to gather opinions in a non-confrontational way, but it can be easy for people to become aggressive. Everyone is entitled to their opinion as long as they don’t use it as a means to harm or belittle others. - How do you feel about blogging awards?
YAY! It’s a nice way to acknowledge another’s work. - How old is your current blog?
Two years? Can I look that up somewhere? - Do you respond to prompts?
Like this one? - Do the number of your blog followers matter to you?
Not as much as having a group of supportive followers does. - What motivates you to follow or unfollow a blog?
A blog has to have value and be entertaining. If it is just a platform to rant on personal opinions, it’s not for me. - What is your blogging pet peeve?
On WordPress, trying to highlight a single block without getting everything.

It was nice to read your responses, Leon. I guess this was a prompt, so yay to you for responding. I agree about supportive followers Vs. a number of followers that do not engage.
