Wow, sounds like she has quite a popular blog - I guess you could say she's blopular!

TechHerding.com

I must have 200 blogs in my reader list, and when I see a new post from Dooce I click on it immediately.

There's no finer endorsement in blog-land.

Heather somehow combines opinion, personal information, images, whimsy and insight into something that really connects with me.

To be accurate, she's not 59 out of 1000. She's 59 out of an estimated 79 MILLION blogs in the world.

Whoo Hoo!

I think Heather is fantastic. Hers is the first website I check everyday. I admire her blogging, and would miss her if she decided to stop, even though I would certainly understand her need for a "regular life".

I wouldn't say they are all women. I read it. 29yr old married male.

Aren't those pics behind you supposed to be vertical? Just kidding. :)

Heather,I love your blog. It is the only one that I read everyday. Thanks for all the entertainment. Somedays you are the only one who can make me laugh.

Sarah

WOW, I am SO glad you stuck with it too Heather!

Kristine

Way to go Heather. You keep it real and I appreciate the realness you write about. Your blog rocks. Keep up the great work.

Heather is positively brillant!

Heather is amazing. I am proud to be living in the same state as her. I hope she does some local events so that she can share her brilliance with all of us. Frankly, I would love to see her speak and know many many more would like to as well. I have the perfect venue for it if she is interested, and reads this comment, I would be happy to help make it happen.

Love the blog and the pics!

Christopher

She's bomb diggity.

I follow Heather's blog through Bloglines and just on that service, as of this morning she has 7,400 subscribers. In the blog world that is beyond huge. For just one subscription service? Please!

Why does she have that? Because she is brilliant and most importantly she is honest. One can blog all day about their personal life but if the reader doesn't feel the posts are genuine then no connection happens. When we are fortunate enough to have her leave comments open, the count on them will go to several hundred in a matter of a couple of hours. Comments are what feeds me as a blogger and I should be so good as to be able to generate that kind of response. Read Dooce, you'll be glad you did.

I think you gotta give Chuck his due, too. He's a rock-solid sidekick.

Shelly

I just stumbled across her blog one day.. and I go back every day to read.. She is just a great Writer no matter what the subject ..


I also pre-ordered the book of essays she edited cant wait to get it in may!

I gotta have my Dooce! CANNOT live without it!

I have to start every day with my dooce and Daily Chuck. She is the blogger everyone who puts text to screen wants to be

Each morning, I work my way through a bunch of blogs. But Dooce? I save her for last. She is my dessert!

Jessica

I stumbled across Dooce.com one day, about six months ago, when I was looking for a platform to use for my own blog. I have gone back every day since. At first I thought it was a little odd to be following the life of a total stranger, but I am glad to see I am not the only one. :) Thanks, Heather!
