International Blog Delurking Week 2021
It may or may not be International Blog Delurking Week. The first full week of January (January 3 – 9, 2021) is when we’re supposed to slither out of the reading closet and check in with an “I’m here” comment. I’m not sure if anyone does this anymore. Back in the olden days, people would pop up out of the woodwork. Nowadays, not so much.
So let’s see what happens.
So welcome to International Blog Delurking Week. I make a badge every year to mark the occasion, and I give you full permission to right click and grab it for your very own.
My reward for remembering to do this (when I could have just as easily forgotten) is that you have to delurk for this worldwide holiday, which is super serious and important. Right?
It is fairly easy. Leave a comment in the comment section below admitting that you’re here. You can simply raise your hand and meekly admit that you’re here with a simple, one-word “here” comment; or you can proudly raise your hand and tell us all a bit about yourself (my preferred method); or you can tell me what type of cookie you’d be if you were a lump of cookie dough (see, I’m trying to make it easy for you by even providing a comment prompt). The point is that I want to know about the people who read me, since there is a huge discrepancy between the number of readers in actuality and the number of readers I actually know are reading. Or a tongue-twister like that.
And that’s all you have to do to celebrate.
So (clears throat to nudge you along), who is here?

I’m here and have been for…a long time now. Chocolate chip cookie dough.
Ha! This is great. I read IF blogs for years before I ever commented. The idea of commenting was so scary to me. But I am here. 🙂 And now I comment and blog myself. And I am so thankful for this community. I just might use your badge… I’m always curious about who’s reading.
I’m here! This post makes me miss the days when I blogged and commented regularly.
Ginger snap cookie 🙂
Thanks for your blog and all the thought-provoking stuff you post.
I’m here. What Sharon said. Chocolate Chip Cookie, duh.
Hello!
Here since 2007, even before I started my own blog in October that year (with your encouragement). 🙂 And I’m definitely chocolate chip. 😉
I’m here. I started reading this fall. Chocolate chip. 🙂
Regular reader, occasional commenter. I’ll go oatmeal chocolate chip (because this time of year I’m trying to make healthier choices…)
Hello! Chocolate chip cookie dough 🍪
Here for almost a decade now. I’m going to go for a ginger cream biscuit (I can’t bring myself to call it a cookie) – lotsa fat and sugar, but irresistible! lol
2009, yikes it is more than a decade. Have I told you often enough that without this community my (DE) daughter wouldn’t be here? Forever grateful. Even while not blogging anymore and not commenting very often.
Here 🙂 Have been blogging since 2006 and found you in the last year, I think. You’ve kept me saner and my files safer <3.
I'd be a baklava-style pastry cookie with pistachios…
you know, I’m still wondering what my answer to what cookie I am should be. Smart cookie – tough cookie – fortune cookie…
(but by now I am more coockoo than cookie… 🙂
I’m here! I found your blog several years ago linked through another blogger who doesn’t post anymore. I’ve never blogged, but I enjoy reading your frequent posts. I also love that you appreciate your readers. I comment sometimes and was surprised the time or two you replied. Happy New Year!
