I do try to reply to comments to my post but it's usually just authors saying thank you or people commenting bc there is a giveaway. Even so,I do try to acknowledge each comment although I sometimes feel like they may not see it and my replies are pointless but your post made me want to try to reply to each comment regardless if they'll see it or not. Now as for other blogs I visit,like my own blogging I haven't done many visits to blogs recently but if I do I try to post a comment when I have something I think worthy of saying and a few times I have just said hi. While I'd like replies especially if I took the time to write something I think was worth saying,I'd like a reply but don't always get one. It does make me smile when that happens. Now I've actually had trouble with commenting on fb pages and seeing the owner reply to every one or just about every one and it left me feeling unwanted.purpleshadowhunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074233523696238569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961332566292942537.post-37736599188340719082014-02-05T10:20:32.374-05:002014-02-05T10:20:32.374-05:00I don't either.

Argue with the writer :) LOL Sometimes, it takes me a day or two to respond because I tend to do them in bulk. I do reply to everyone though, even if just to say thank you. It's hard to keep up when I get slammed :) Thanks for the comment, Beth!

I comment back on my own comments when people ask questions, but if it's just a "nice post," I don't usually reply.

I tend to answer once a week unless it's a burning question. Moderation helps me keep up with those. I love comments and publish everything but spam. Thanks for the note, Heather!

Unfortunately I haven't had a lot of time lately to visit new blogs but once my schedule clears up, I plan to make it a priority for at least a couple of hours a week.

I'm kidding! I think a blogging schedule helps. While not every day (I only do 5 days a week and still miss now and then), maybe a post every Tuesday and Wednesday would help. Just some kind of schedule so your readers know when to check back or when to expect new material. :)<br /><br />We'll get you outta that shell yet :P Hugs! Thanks for the awesome comment, L. K.!

Since you've been so interactive, I feel more comfortable posting comments on your site. It just feels very open and friendly.<br /><br />I don't do a daily blog, but when I do post something on my website and it receives a comment, I'll definitely respond. Like you said, it's just polite.<br /><br />But you've made me think that maybe I should break out of my shell and comment. After all, when you commented on my blog, I felt like a rock star. Someone took the time to visit my site and comment. I should pay that forward to others.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05662020315432796689noreply@blogger.com
