If she brings it up herself, it's "fair game" and I would then say something like that you are an avid reader of her blog and enjoy following it. From there, she might either continue the conversation and even ask about yours (bonus! lol.), or on the other hand she might choose to say "Thanks" and move on. Either way, the ball will be in her court.<br /><br />Like I said, though, that's if you're in a big group and she brings it up first. If it's a big group and she doesn't bring it up, I honestly wouldn't either.<br /><br />As for if you find yourself in a small group (maybe 3-6 people chatting), and the opportunity presents itself, like there's a lull in conversation or something, I would TOTALLY say something like, "You know, __________, I really like your blog." Then again the ball is in her court to name drop her web address and talk about it, or change topics if she doesn't feel like discussing it. But at the very least you have taken the opportunity to compliment her on her writing. And who wouldn't want to be complimented on their work? I would hope and think she takes any mention you make of her blog as such a compliment!<br /><br />P.S. My thinking comes from those "Sisters" I've met, and my initial fear--do I make recognition of how I "know" them or not? And I didn't feel it was appropriate in the large "let's all share our names" crowd, but very welcome to bring up when it was just a few of us sitting and talking with "J."<br /><br />Anyway, just thoughts.Juliet Caphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375907492021504307noreply@blogger.com
