Don't feel bad. I have 2 and _one_ of them is my daughter. I have two daughters and a wife. What's with that?

If it is any consolation to you, I started following you before I started following Patrick. I also don't follow Mark yet although I do read his blog occasionally .

WillyJ,
AS CMR doesn't have any Archbishops following us, we're willing to make a trade. Your archbishop for three CMR readers to be named later.

You can keep your mother. Trading her would seem a little unseemly.

2009-11-19T03:56:25.789-05:00

Well, I've been a CMR google follower long before.
My own blog has about 50 hits a day, while I have a grand total of two Google followers. One is an Archbishop, and the other is my mother. No problem.

I have a Google account, but I'm just too cool to use it to "follow" anyone.

I come here directly too. Thanks to Firefox's spiffy "smart address bar," every time I type "m", CMR appears at the top of the suggestion list. So I hit the down arrow button, then [enter], and here I am.

I too had the habit of opening comboxes to read them later, but actually now I think that's bad for your brain because it kind of gives it a shock to see comments for one post you've read five other ones. So thank you for your efforts to keep my brain healthy.

I'd say the worse comment section is AmP's. I hate having to go through the trouble of logging into Twitter and then telling the comments app to not publish it to my Twitter account. Fr.Z's comment section is pretty bad too, in that I can't even post in it (I don't like giving away my real name, not even to good ol' Fr.Z - the Internet just makes me paranoid).

2009-11-18T20:31:10.508-05:00

OK, I'm a new follower, but seriously, you think Patrick M's mustache -- which I totally like -- is a Burt Reynold's thing? I don't see the resemblance, but then I don't think he sounds like the host on Catholic Answers Live either. Maybe I'm just weird. I'm hoping I don't start posting here, I need to be looking for a job!

FYI - American Papist has 2,312 people who subscribe to his blog in Google Reader...we have about 200. We are no threat to his fiefdom.

2009-11-18T16:03:57.924-05:00

I guess we sit somewhere in the in-between. Between the Google followers and the Networked Blog followers, we sit at about 120. You guys should watch out...we are coming for you.

Mark doesn't mock me - yet.

2009-11-18T15:41:44.641-05:00

I already do! the only drawback is that I love the actual site. It is so much purtier than the plain google blog.

How about a Facebook link?

2009-11-18T15:36:36.684-05:00

How about a Facebook link?

266! I am sorry Father. Look out Mark!

2009-11-18T14:30:45.635-05:00

Oh boo frickin' hoo Patrick! You're cryin' over 234 followers? I got one! One lousy stinkin' follower, I tell ya! (Whoops! Let me rephrase that. I mean one precious, adored, much loved follower. I don't wanna lose her.) Be grateful for what ya got, kid!

Okay, so that was fairly painless. I'm in.

2009-11-18T13:27:27.691-05:00

I started following you guys as soon as I found you...and I drive my husband crazy every night telling him what you have posted...
Being that I have all of 19 followers...I'm not feeling bad for any of you!

"Christina, how does one set up Google reader to allow followers?"

Ummm, I don't know. Actually in trying to find out the answer I found out that I'm apparently following 10 blogs (of which yours is one). I wonder when that happened.

I have only four. No one is crying for me! Okay,...

2009-11-18T13:22:24.493-05:00

2009-11-18T13:02:15.998-05:00

I've been following you guys, like, forever. You're my favoritestest blog. And I'm not just saying that because I have a guest post, either.

If you'd like, I can loan you my 82 followers for a few days so you can catapult past Shea.

2009-11-18T12:51:44.333-05:00

Well, just tried to comment and it was lost somehow. It figures with my technological know how. I actually used to be current but somehow over the past 10 years have become old I guess. Have been coming to your site directly for awhile and didn't even know I could be a follower without having my own blog! So I just signed up as one of your followers, you are the first site that I am officially following, even though there are several sites I check directly. Thank you for your web site! It helps lighten my day and keep me somewhat informed from a catholic point of view. :) God Bless You! God, please don't let this get deleted when I try to post this time. In Jesus Name, AMEN!

2009-11-18T12:51:08.649-05:00

Christina, how does one set up Google reader to allow followers? Or is that something automatic? Thanks.

Sarah-Kala,
We're extremely dissapointed in you but feel that in admitting your terrible mistake you've made some remarkable steps today and we're proud of you.

2009-11-18T12:04:14.960-05:00

I don't do the google following, but I do subscribe to you in the google reader.

You have 892 google subscribers if that makes you feel better...if you don't notice that Mark has over 2,000.

But the good news is Father only has 770.
