  HI!  I missed some time on here, and have to go to work now, but will be back tonight.  Will look for you then.  (I missed out on some good posts.)

• satyr said on Feb 15, 2007....

  Hi HSG, welcome to SoulCast.  It is a great place and kind of addictive.  ALIENated wrote an excellent post for people new to SoulCast. 
   
  http://www.soulcast.com/post/show/47920/The-Rest-of-the-Story
   
  You are not alone by any means in going "undiscovered" for a while.  Make some comments to others who post about things you are interested in and rather quickly you will be building a network of online friends who will read and comment. 
   
  I hope you enjoy.

• truthsayer said on Feb 15, 2007....

  There you are.  I see you now!
   
  Truthsayer hands HairSprayGirl a warm cup of coffee, and a chalice of Hope, "Do you want some brownies or Tootsie Rolls with that?"
   
  brb, as I search my bag for non-chocolate wares, just in case...

  Welcome to SC!  :)
   
  I' glad to meet ya mwah, mwah, mwah!

• gingersoul said on Feb 15, 2007....

  HSG....see? You made it.....lol...
  An eye catching title......some whining and you are on our radar now.......
  it takes some time for everybody.....
  but yes, the best thing is simply commenting, go around a lot, let the people get used to your name....
   
  Welcome aboard......its great here!

• HairSprayGirl said on Feb 15, 2007....

  Thank you! Thank you ! I guess I was feeling a little sorry for myself. But I am happy to see I have some friends! lol..

• wombat said on Feb 15, 2007....

  HSG:  I made it home from work and am around as promised.  Had to walk in the cold and the snow, but my yaktrax on my boots worked out great!  I actually enjoyed the walk.
   
  You want to know what the main problem is getting replies when you are new?  It's because the ones who have been around awhile have so many conversations going on and so many to check that it's easy to miss an interesting post.  At least that's what happens to me.  When I catch a new name I try to welcome them, (even tho I'm not exactly ancient around here) or if they have a post I just have to comment on, then I remember them and look to see what's new with them. So, guess I'll see you around!

• pickersplock said on Feb 15, 2007....

  I think Satyr summed up things quite nicely! Welcome!

• husbandhater said on Feb 15, 2007....

  Sometimes you have to yell in a crowded room to get noticed. This is your yell huh! Welcome to the SC. Tread around and you'll discover more friends.

• Zayda said on Feb 15, 2007....

  Satyr said it well; make comments on other people's blogs.  Find other blogs that interest you and comment on them--contribute to the conversation and people will find their way to your blog and even subscribe to you. 
  
  Welcome to Soulcast and enjoy yourself!
  

• mom said on Feb 15, 2007....

  Hey SweatPea- We are here, and once you become established as a regular you will never have to worry.  So many people are coming on and joining and we don't always see them right away.  So you go into other posts and make youself known and pretty soon whoop dere it is!  No one is ignoring you, I promise.  Sometimes we just don't know that there are new people on.  But you got our attention now! :)
  So come on in and sit down and tell us all about you. :)

• copsunited said on Feb 15, 2007....

  Quit your bitchin'. There are many like you with nothing to say and
  PO'd that no one will listen.
   
  Read some of the blurbs today. You'll get some insight as to what it takes
  to make it as a "favorite" on today's version of Soulcast. Many clues here and
  some are downright  educating. Read some before complaining all that much.
  What have you said recently that we all should miss supper to read?
   
  No, I am NOT picking on you..just telling you..get off your mental duff and do some
  thinking.. Great article by..Vicarious ....look at it and the comments..it's
  pretty clear after that.

  I  am  going   around  the   community   reading  people  blogs.  I   reading  yours   now    there   are  alot   to  read,  it's   not   personnel   at   all.

• Lucytorial said on Feb 15, 2007....

  Cops jeeze you'll scare the game!

  Hi HSG - I actualy prefer to read and reply than just post and wait - obviously ginger is right! WINGE we all love it because it takes our minds of our own shit.

  Radar is on, see you and reply to you around the place! :-)

• jen01 said on Feb 15, 2007....

  hi there,i know how do you feel about that. i also don't have that many replies for my post.from my observation, we need many friends to get such. well, don't give up and write more in such quality postings. i beleive that if we do that many other reader's will appreciate it :)

• MissMimi said on Feb 16, 2007....

  Sorry to show up late to the party. Welcome!

• polarheart said on Feb 16, 2007....

  hello again hsg!
   
  i did welcome you once before, but am happy to do it again!
   
  a lot of people blog once or twice then disappear off the scene.  i like to see if someone has stick-ability before i subscribe to them, but that's just me!
   
  will keep an eye out for you.  as i said once before to another newbie: you gotta give give give and you'll get get get!
   
  comment as much as possible, that's how people (the regulars) get to know you and what makes you tick. . .to me actual posting is secondary to getting involved in conversations.
   
  I also gave you ALIENated's post to look at (like Satyr) above - did you look at it to see how it all fits together?
   
  Keep going!
  Polar ;-)
   
   

• ALIENated said on Feb 16, 2007....

  You seem to be in the ranting stage ...

  Some used to rant about AdSense. Now they usually rant about seemingly
  being ignored.
  

• secretlife said on Feb 16, 2007....

  don't mind ALIEN....he's grouchy when he doesn't get sex.
   
  Welcome!

• MsBradford07 said on Feb 16, 2007....

  Girl, just give it some time.

• missapitbull said on Feb 16, 2007....

  I know what you mean I have gotten a few comments but not to many myself.  I am going to check out your post right now.

• Dicconzane said on Feb 16, 2007....

  Surfing and commenting is a good way to let people know you exist. That aside it's up to other people if they like what they read enough to want to read more.

• JadeLondon said on Feb 16, 2007....

  I've said it time and again: network, network, network! It is the true secret of success. I hope you find what you are searching for here at SoulCast. Welcome!

• waterstar said on Feb 16, 2007....

  listen to what these folks are saying - its kind of a threefold thing - posting is just one fold - reading is another - and commenting is the third. 

• copsunited said on Feb 16, 2007....

  HairSprayGirl.
   
  One of the first rules is that you have to go to a certain location
  and post nude pictures of yourself. Then if it's interesting enough,
  and why wouldn't it be, then you get some subscribers..but they
  always want more..just keep the dangling..you'll have contacts
  up the old...old...well you'll have lots of friends.
   
  Don't count me in though, I am a straight arrow. I would NEVER look at
  a nude girl..now way..no how...

• satyr said on Feb 16, 2007....

  Oh, and HSG, did I mention we have a bunch of dirty old men at this site too?

• Dicconzane said on Feb 16, 2007....

  I resent that satyr... there are plenty of dirty young men here too.

• pickersplock said on Feb 16, 2007....

  Cops, you made me laugh again, so did you Dicconzane.

• TheNakedProfessor said on Feb 16, 2007....

  I'm still waiting to be loved for myself.

• agentPit said on Feb 16, 2007....

  To get attention, you need to: write intimately, sexy or pervertly arouse. or something people couldn't resist to fight back, or smething very irritate to pull their attention... or something real stupid, totally retart... or something will trigger fear, sadden, solo.. (beware homeland security or SC may force to remove you for the safety of community sake) If you write something boring, too normal, too dull or not sexy... you'll like most of us, no respond and no attention. Isn't life is all about? :)

• mom said on Feb 16, 2007....

  First thing  to learn hon is that you don't ever trust the ones that says "trust me".

• copsunited said on Feb 16, 2007....

  You CAN trust me..I have a condom on each finger..really...

• mom said on Feb 16, 2007....

  lol, but he didn't leave one for his 3rd leg
   
  HSG_  I am disappointed that you have not come back and acknowledge that we are reading you.

• anonymous said on Feb 18, 2007....

  the first thing you should learn it to ignore copsunited.

• Kona said on Feb 18, 2007....

  Hello there I´m responding.

• danetteb said on Feb 19, 2007....

  Now look what you've done - everyone's commenting on your post   :P
  
  Welcome to Soulcast, and hope you enjoy your stay :)
  
  
  

• HairSprayGirl said on Feb 19, 2007....

  Well, I appreciate the comments. Some of you are very encouraging and some of you can kiss my ass! I was out of town over presidents day weekend so that is why I didn't acknowledge that you were all responding. Thank you Thank you Thank you !!!
  If you thought I was bitching,I wasn't. I simply did not understand how this whole thing worked,and I apologize for being so impatient. I'll try all your suggestions. Hope you all had a great weekend!!!!

• random_moods86 said on Feb 20, 2007....

  welcome to soulcast and i hope u find it very soothing like i do
   
  random moods
   
  p.s. stop by!!! and dust the negative people off!!!

• chadmandu72 said on Mar 08, 2007....

  Hey, you're lucky that you got some responses to this. I did the same thing, and while people have viewed what I've wrote, not a single rube has written any comments yet.

• copsunited said on Mar 08, 2007....

  Hey..sweetie..now you got the idea. Love to kiss your ass..really.
   
  Let's have a party. Before you take offense at everything..you have to get into the mode of accepting the personalities of the weirdos like me. Some one sent in an anon message saying ignore me..that might not be a bad idea..but you'll miss the
  opportunity to have fun and make a friend.
   
  I do have a good time , ask the others..I love to kid around..and sure..
  just post the nude pics and we will see..love your idea tho..Oh..when you ask the others.or observe for yourself..um..you'll see that some love me in a different way..they have shovels..picks, slings, arrows and suck. Do you remember the biblical reference to David and Goliath? Well the stone actually hit Goliath in the nuts...killed him..ouch..argh..but an observer from the hill yelled out.." Let the record reflect that the stone hit Goliath in the forehead."
   
  JD..the dumb shit..but not a bad sort..look out though..I bite sometimes.

• copsunited said on Mar 08, 2007....

  Chad.. a rube is an old carnival comment on the stupid people that  participate in the rigged games. Review your comment..rube.
   
  Did you say anything that was interesting??? Did you piss and moan?
  Oh well..get with the program here..
   
  JD the Cop..Mr. Unpopular himself.

• chadmandu72 said on Mar 08, 2007....

  If I didn't mean rube, than I wouldn't have said rube, rube. Obviously, the title fits you.

• copsunited said on Mar 09, 2007....

  Ah..thanks chad. You are a pleasure to encounter. May all
  your camel twat kids have serious injuries to their brains
  as you have had. Look what it's done for you and your
  asshole..big enough for your head to make a new home..Rube
  or fuckhead..all the same to me.

• chadmandu72 said on Mar 09, 2007....

  And who are you, pigfucker? God? Don't think so, and I really don't want to hear from you anymore. I'll keep calling you pigfucker because you don't seem to call other people by their screen names. Don't assume you know more than the person you're talking to, you pompous dickfungus. Good thing to see you know about camel fucking. Hey everyone, pigfucker here knows how to fuck a camel. Have fun with that pigfucker, cause if you have anything to do with the cops, that name suits you. Go spread your camel fucking wisdom elsewhere, no one likes a fucking snob.

• HairSprayGirl said on Mar 09, 2007....

  Whoa there boys. Take your verbal quarrel elsewhere. lol. When I read the tags I thought someone was calling me a dickfungus! How rude!!! And this post was when I first signed up and I understand that SC is everything but disappointing. I don't need to be interesting though and I don't have to get used to weirdos. That's the type of "fun" I try to avoid. But thanks anyways.

• chadmandu72 said on Mar 09, 2007....

  Sorry, HairSprayGirl, I'll apologize for myself. Can't say anything for the other rude person here. See, I'm still learning how to use this forum. I wanted to respond back just to the other naughty bad guy, but I kept coming here. Had I known the proper way to respond, I wouldn't have soiled your fine area on Soul Cast. I hope you hold no ill will against me (again, can't speak for the other uncouth person), and that I'll take my "colorful comments" elsewhere.

• pickersplock said on Mar 09, 2007....

  Uh oh, here we go again!

• polarheart said on Mar 09, 2007....

  HairSprayGirl, do you know that you can edit a post and put it back into Draft mode even after people have commented? Thereby "closing" it to public view.
   

• HairSprayGirl said on Mar 09, 2007....

  I didn't know that polarheart. Please,teach me! :)
  Apology accepted Chad. I need to learn how to do what polarheart said. lol.

• Zayda said on Mar 09, 2007....

  If you want to remove this post from public view, click the edit button by the title. Then, scroll to the bottom of the post. Just under the space where you put the tags you will see the following:
  
  
  Make this post:
  
  
  Public Draft
  
  
  There will be a radial button (a clickable button) in front of both words. By default, "Public" is chosen for you. If you click in the circle in front of Draft and then click the Update Button, your post will remain in your blog but be viewable by no one but you.
  
  
  But the "ugly" tags will stay on the post. They just won't be viewable by the public either
  
  
  Another option if you want to keep the post open is to just delete the nasty comments.
  
  
  Or if you want to keep the post open and want to keep the comments, but want the bad tags removed, they can be removed if enough people (and I don't know how many it takes) click on the X beside the tag to mark it as a bad tag.

• HairSprayGirl said on Mar 09, 2007....

  Yeah,I'd like to know who called me a snob!!!!! lol.

• copsunited said on Mar 10, 2007....

  Oh my...snob is not one of my epitaphas..nope...
   
  I was funn'n ya..was having a good time..some one called us
  all Rubes..I took exception to that. We got some nut cases..just
  like congress (Newt Gingrich for example)..but Rubes? No.
   
  We have a few people here that actually read and understand the
  English language . To be lumped into one huge mass and called
  a gathering of "Eagles"..now that's okay..but Rubes???
   
  Oh well..if I upset you..too bad..it was not directed to you..HSG you got
  some readers now.. happy?? LOLOL
   
  JD

• Just4fun78 said on Mar 22, 2007....

  Well I see you have met cops! = ) He and others are what make Soulcast. I am new here too. I haven't gotten many comments either but you are well on your way! Welcome! It's quite exciting in here..and addicting!  

• HairSprayGirl said on Mar 23, 2007....

  Yes,very addicting!  I can't wait until the end of my day,or at least until lunch to come check out SoulCast. If I miss a day I pretty much consider that missing a LOT!

• copsunited said on Mar 23, 2007....

  AH..SO ..you finally are getting the idea.
   
  Welcome again. now you see how it works. You are welcome.
   
  If I pissed you off..well..sorry about that. I do like most people
  and i love to tease a lot.
   
  No, you don't have to pick your skirt up again...but thanks anyways.
   
  JD..the cop
