Great post. I think many readers us...Hi Kathysue,<br /><br />Great post. I think many readers use blogs as research and commenting honestly doesn't dawn on them. Other blogger's however know that it is confirming and/or nice to discover that you've gotten some comments/feedback. <br /><br />I also think its impulse...sometimes an image or short post just strikes a nerve or hits home for someone and they can't resist commenting. <br /><br />I have a ton of blogs in my reader and I do go through and scan. As much as I'd like to, there is no way I could comment on everything. I'm trying though and will continue to try to leave as much comments when I can. <br /><br />SarahAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11876264661747248799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-27473195839997266652010-06-20T08:06:02.545-07:002010-06-20T08:06:02.545-07:00Good questions and observations and I've some ...Good questions and observations and I've some of these same thoughts myself!<br /><br />I try to comment back within a week to everyone who has visited...sometimes I fail miserably. Personally, I would rather have 5 sincere and thoughtful comments about my post than 50 "love it"!!! Not including posts of just a picture or request of love it/hate it...then sometimes a word or two is all that's necessary.<br /><br />I really enjoy getting comments but realize not everyone has time to do more than read on certain days, or perhaps they are just to spent to articulate what they are thinking...this I can relate to often!<br /><br />I think it is all a choice of where we read and comment and if you're not enjoying a blog or it bothers you that the blogger never reciprocates a comment...move on! That's what I do mostly. But, there are a few blogs where I comment simply because I enjoy the content and they are so well written and yet the blogger has never commented on mine...and that's ok too.<br /><br />I think you just have to decide what your prefer and abide only by your own blogging rules!Acanthus and Acornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603547994268012876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-65709421948804399012010-06-19T18:08:09.973-07:002010-06-19T18:08:09.973-07:00If I look at a blog often, I don't comment eve...If I look at a blog often, I don't comment every time.

I really appreciate comments and make a point of returning the favour to bloggers that comment on my blog. It is strange to see how some blogs take off and will get 100 comments for 1 picture and two words, while others can't reach this. I've always appreciated your comments on my blog, thank you for always being so kind!<br />NancyMarcus Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12577555757744365954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-89505074696448321062010-06-19T17:33:30.112-07:002010-06-19T17:33:30.112-07:00Comments are lovely as they let you know your work...Comments are lovely as they let you know your work is being read!

I do enjoy reading comments, it's a bit of validation that I'm not just "talking to myself"!<br />There are several bloggers who rarely leave a comment, but will e-mail me directly with their thoughts. It is hard sometimes, there are so many wonderful sites that I love to visit, but I do my best to keep up.

Seeing your face together with your sentiments is a match made in heaven.<br />Wow it seems you got a wonderful response on this subject. I know I am struggling with leaving enough comments myself. So often I feel sad that I haven't visited or commented enough. I would have to say that is the down side of blogging for me. It's challenging to spread the love as much as I'd like to. I've been struggling with balance since I've started blogging. I have to say that I'm blown away by the generosity of bloggers and commenters in blogland though and feel infinitely blessed when someone takes the time to leave me a comment.<br />So much love to you and your family on this Father's Day Weekend!

I feel that turnabouts fair play as they say. Some days after working a 12 hour shift, I'm waaaay to tired to comment as much as I'd like to, but I try to make up for it later on.<br /><br />I agree that blogland is baffling. So true that some posts get so many comments, yet thought provoking, heart warming posts almost go unnoticed.<br /><br />Sometimes I do think the easier to read, the easier to comment. People are just too busy and if they're like me, often feel guilty about spending too much time on the computer! Sometimes we just want to speed read through our google reader/bloglines.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674115090218386723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-29064009704289337432010-06-18T21:08:51.128-07:002010-06-18T21:08:51.128-07:00Hi Kathysue!

Your blog is beautiful and I am so glad I found you!<br /><br />I try to comment when I read a blog. I tend to do it late at night when my daughter is in bed. I have a small group of followers so it is easy for me to reply to my comments and for me to comment on those I follow and enjoy. I just don't know how people do it when they have followers in the hundreds! <br /><br /> I started my blog to keep a journal of our life. It is mainly for me and my family, but I have been blessed to have met some wonderful women and make connections along the way. I have been inspired by so many and hope that I can do that even a little bit with my blog! <br /><br />Great post and have a wonderful weekend!<br /><br />KathrynJemsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06363175271078259922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-52175467868628943772010-06-18T20:44:46.389-07:002010-06-18T20:44:46.389-07:00I love to comment on blogs I stop by for a visit a...I love to comment on blogs I stop by for a visit at.

I agree that some blogs I just don't get the dozens of comments and others where you see the time and care that went into them get a handful. <br /><br />I admit to having a very hard time keeping up with those who post every day and others several times a day consistently. I'm bad at whose name goes with what blog; I think I need a cheat sheet. Sometimes the content just doesn't appeal to me and other times I have to restrain myself from gushing.Beach House Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14304023289393977207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-14763915137918720832010-06-18T19:49:12.906-07:002010-06-18T19:49:12.906-07:00Kathysue, I am packing madly for Savannah, but wil...Kathysue, I am packing madly for Savannah, but will come back over the weekend and comment on this after I've had a chance to read it again and also what your other readers had to say.

I love reading comments to see how people think or feel about a particular topic, item, etc, but I don't concern myself with how many comments I get. I blog because I love it and not because I'm keeping track of numbers. I genuinely like reading what each person writes, whether it's many or few! Have a great weekend!Hamptontoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728092071090568167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-13226397068928121292010-06-18T18:56:28.775-07:002010-06-18T18:56:28.775-07:00Thank you for visiting me on Heart Choices.

You were just so quick. :)<br /><br />But I'm glad I stopped by because you have a beautiful blog and I love this topic. I love comments! I love blogging and I've met so many good friends through it. I've had the opportunity to meet about a dozen bloggers in person so far. But I know that number will rise because every time one of them visits Arizona, they stop by to see me. And I love that.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />DebbieDebbie Petrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235978883396499354noreply@blogger.com
