Hey guys. So one of my favorite parts of our community, this little online family is the conversations that happen in the comment responses to the blogs here. I have noticed that since we launched the new site, the comments have dropped dramatically. So I’m trying to understand why. Admittedly, I could have just been on a tear of writing terrible blogs. I understand that. But in case it’s something else, I wanted to ask. So here are some of my guesses as to what’s going on.
1) I thought maybe it was because there is a new way to comment and you haven’t learned it yet. If that is the case, then at the bottom right of each blog is a comment link. Hit that and you can comment.
2) maybe it is because I asked my great web guys to put all of the blog on the front page of the blog. Because of this, you don’t see any of the comments until you follow the link to the blog page itself. So maybe you’re afraid you’re the first person and you don’t like being alone.
3) my third idea was that maybe you were uncomfortable giving out whatever information they ask you in order to comment. Admittedly I don’t know what that is. If that’s a problem for you, obviously you don’t want to comment here to tell me that. So maybe hit me up on twitter and let me know. I’m @AgnewsDei.
There are probably a lot of other good reasons but this was all I could think of on short notice. And I didn’t want to let it go on any longer. I miss hearing your thoughts and ideas. Looking forward to hearing from you this time.
Thoughts?
Todd
*Update*
Hey everyone, thanks so much for already engaging on this. Please don’t feel any pressure. I’m not in any way saying you have to respond. I read blogs all the time and rarely comment. I know we are all busy and sometimes you just need to read and get back to your life. That’s great. I do love to hear your thoughts, but I’m not trying to squeeze comments out of you. I just wanted to make sure that with some of the new changes we’ve made that we weren’t impeding your participation in any way. Thanks again.

I don’t know why your comments are down because I wasn’t on here before but I was never one to NOT comment so I am in.
People do tend to be uncomfortable with change, so that could be part of it. Your blogs are never boring, so don’t worry about that. I didn’t comment on your last one, because I don’t know anything about special needs ministry, but I enjoyed reading the other resonses. If I am commenting less, which I’m not sure about, it’s because this graduate program takes up too much of my brain space, so anything I came up with would be on the fly, and probably not very good. Blessings…..
I’ll try to add more comments often.
I changed phones, and my new phone’s not set up for rss feeds yet so i’ve missed your blogs. The new site is a little bright for my preferences but that’s just because i really don’t like change. (God’s working on that with me.) Personally, i feel like you are the only artist i follow that blogs for the conversation and not just for publicity and attempting to appear like you are interested in your fan base. Hopefully i’ll get my new phone up to alert me of your threads soon. Until then, God bless brother.
I’m not a regular commenter, but thought I’d give you my 1.5 cents since you asked. :-). I like the new web page and layout. Right now I’m halfway through my third semester in grad school and just haven’t had time to read/comment on the blogs I like. I’ll try to do better. 🙂
I normally read blogs on my lunch break at work, but our firewall doesn’t like toddagnew.com, so I don’t get much time to read the blog anymore. 🙁
I’m not aware of what’s going on with your blog….maybe because I only comment after you’ve posted something on Facebook. Do keep it up…you ARE appreciated and your fellowship is edifying.
I came here from your TWEET about the blog. I’m really just getting to know your music and I really feel it is a rich experience … not just cheerleader fluff. Your vocals stand out among others. I’ve been listening to you on Spotify … and plan to purchase your new CD when it hits iTunes. Thanks Todd Agnew!
Personally, I don’t do blogs at all. I’ve just barely gotten on twitter (@Op4R) since I am starting a non-profit aimed at disaster relief. I am always fascinated with what others share though. Maybe this will become my first blog to watch 🙂
i watched the nba all star stuff instead…i hope you are laughing.
I love the new site. It is much easier to navigate. I love reading your blogs and thoughts wether the random ones or the deep thoughtful ones. I normally do not respond, just loving reading. Generally I love to write, but a blog would turn into a two- paged letter. So i avoid writing anything short. And it is hard to type a blog that long on a cell phone (no computer). Keep it up,Todd. You are a wonderful blessing to me and many others I know.
I’m not sure how I have missed all of this, but I’m here now, and I want to continue being part of this online community. Thanks for your insights.
Hmmm, I dont know cause this is the first time I’ve been to ur page. hehehe… 🙂
Hi, love your music very much. 🙂
I’m so BLESSED by your music Todd, it’s inspiring, ministering, healing, penetrating, complete in praise & adoration. Thank you for sharing your gift with us! Have a beyond blessed day in Jesus!
dear todd, i would have preferred to send a msg where the whole world doesnt see but where you are the one to actually read it…oh well… the first time i ever bought a christian cd was because of grace like rain. your voice was and is that of someone wounded and trying to find their way. it was the first time i ever heard a christian artist sing the way i felt. my encounters with christians is hypocrisy and fake. but my heart for God is sooo full and real. anyhow, to make a very long story short and to not tell the whole world my gritty life, i have always wanted to thank you for being you and singing the way you do. i look forward to getting to hear you live at HILLS ALIVE in rapid city this summer and maybe say hi. truly, steph
Hey Todd! Like the new look! I’ve been off the grid for a while and have missed the community here. Looks like I’ve been gone longer than I realized. I look forward to catching up over the next few days.
I still read every post, but I have to admit that I rarely post.
