And to everyone ...Scott, thanks for the comments. And to everyone else who've made comments to this post (positive or negative). I have been taking it one day at a time since I wrote this post. Ultimately, I think the real issue is that I just feel like this is a frivolous use of time. I know there are some people who enjoy it so that's great. I have so many photos yet to post. But I kind of am operating at this point, day by day, that I'll just go out with a bang and post all the greatest photos in the queue and when I've done that then I'll be done with this. Again, thanks for your comments. Until I shut down, though, I will take your good advice and respond with a thank you when someone takes the time to comment! Happy Treasure Trails!

I just found the blog fairly recently.<br /><br />I have a non-sexual blog on which I have been posting for 5 years--not every day, but several times a week. I've accumulated 37 followers over that time. Several followers comment on almost every one of my posts, and I reply back to every single one of those comments. I know it's a lot of work, but to develop a following, you've got to be very interactive with your readers/viewers. I've commented on some of your posts, but I don't notice a response from you; maybe that's why (in part) you've failed to gain a big, satisfying following.<br /><br />Anyway, I (for one, anyway) will miss the blog's passing.<br /><br />-ScottAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381639613453790924.post-62932912556358443272013-07-15T04:54:13.934-07:002013-07-15T04:54:13.934-07:00You shouldn't feel so awful, this site is one ...You shouldn't feel so awful, this site is one of the best and think you said it yourself when you said you had created a site to be viewed and appreciated, not an interactive one! I have to say that this is the first time I have ever commented on any site and feel very, very sad that you are going out and that you are disillusioned - please don't be - The Treasure Trail is truly great.<br />RobertAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381639613453790924.post-22134835113096490492013-07-13T19:19:45.648-07:002013-07-13T19:19:45.648-07:00Sorry you feel unappreciated.

I've done this blog for so many years and the only joy was collecting and selecting photos. What I would prefer is meeting and conversing with people. I don't make money from this. Many other blog sites have popups and other things. I still love their blogs. But I really am tired of wasting my time with this. I've done it for years. And it has never been successful. <br /><br />I don't even know if you ail receive this response? <br /><br />But all of your comments are appreciated. Thank you for taking the time, dude.<br /><br />Thank you to those of you who have written.<br /><br />I really find this website completely unfulfilling at this point. But I would love to go out on High Note, as they say. So, until I retire, I will show all the images that I've always wanted to (there are thousands thanks to my own searches and the wonderful lovely reader, Kevin, who shares one of my taste in men).<br /><br />Everyone who reads this blog should thank Kevin. He sends me photos every day. If you've enjoyed this blogsite, then you need to thank Kevin, too! Thank you, Kevin. You inspired and you our online friendship was the very best part of this blogsite.<br /><br />In a few days/weeks no one will be aware that I'm not posting anymore. Until that happens, I am going to post as many photos as I can that I love. Fuck trying to make it appeal to anyone. I would like to think that treasure trail will go out on a high note.<br /><br />I appreciate the very comments I've received. <br /><br />But I just cannot rationalize anymore why the fuck I'm spending so much time on this excrsize in futility. I am thrilled that several people have responded passionately. It does mean the world.<br /><br />But three weeks from now I'll be posting photos. And I'll still wonder, why the fuck am still doing this after so many years. I'd rather commit my energy to something will lead to success or at the very least, some sort of return.Mark Gauldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16415932730800286514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381639613453790924.post-61972529054552134472013-07-12T21:23:28.218-07:002013-07-12T21:23:28.218-07:00I love your blog, and I will miss it.

Still, I can easily understand how you feel, and that you have not been receiving anything to sustain you in your efforts. I could understand you choosing to stop, but I know there are many blogs which are updated only occasionally, and if they contain quality then there will still be interest. Maybe you can wind back your efforts to a point that is no longer a real burden, but still keep this creative corner going. I understand completely your desire for connection, and how elusive that can be.

You have created sort of a National Gallery of Art of photos of beautiful men, and personally I love your comments about them.<br /><br />You say, "you can go to all of the other better blogsites." What are you talking about? There ARE no better blogs than this one!!!<br /><br />OK, maybe we don't talk as much on here as you might like, but (a) I have done my part, and (b) the world needs blogs like this one where the main activity is just enjoying the visual glory of your posts, more so that commenting on them. <br /><br />I hope you'll reconsider. If posting daily has become a burden, you might ratchet it back to a few times a week. <br /><br />Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381639613453790924.post-1885384156051096592013-07-10T09:16:05.464-07:002013-07-10T09:16:05.464-07:00I will miss it here in the UK.
