Making a Change

I love my blog, but don't blog for the amount of hits it received or how much traffic it gets. Maybe I have been at it long enough now to be past that aspect of blogging. I no longer ask folks to link back to a post I have written, be it for a give away or some weekly sharing event etc. I always appreciate awards and am humbled by them, but I no longer particiapte in them.
There have been times for me, when I do participate in some linky thing, that it has felt more like I am doing advertising for someones blog, than sharing something, be it a joy or whatever.
I will no longer be participating in any reciprocal linking.
Not always, but very often it just feels like its more about the amount of traffic than sharing or giving away.
