Sallie informs us
all that this week is "National Delurking Week."
Like Sallie, one of
the hardest parts of blooging for me is keeping up with and responding
to comments. I appreciate and read them all even if I don't get a
chance to respond to them--either via email or in bloggyville. And, I also read several blogs but don't really comment (often).
Nevertheless, in honor of Delurking Week, I have two questions:
How do you handle comments on your own blog? How do you like/prefer for bloggers to handle your comments on their blog?
At first, I tried to respond here on my blog--so that there was a conversation going on the post--I like that. Then I realized that I rarely go back and read responses to comments on the blog where I posted the comment--especially if it is a day of surfing. So, now I either go to that person's blog and leave a comment or I email a response to their comment. This method leave a little hole on my own blog though because it might seem as if I don't reply to people's comments (which sometimes I don't, especially if it is a busy week).
I know of one blog I comment on that I as soon as I comment, it signs me up to be notified by email when a comment has been posted on that post. I like that insofar as the blogger can comment on the blog and the commenter gets the emailed response--two birds one stone. I don't like it as a commenter when it is a hot topic and I keep getting unwanted emails that I didn't know I was signing up for.
So, back to my questions. . . .
How do you handle comments on your own blog? How do you like/prefer for bloggers to handle your comments on their blog?
Oh, yeah, and don't forget to do some delurking as you travel around bloggyville this week.
