Thing #11 Commenting

I never really thought about commenting until I read these blogs about them. I know that I like getting comments about what I have written, so why don't I comment on others?! Well, I will now because it makes you feel good to know someone is reading your stuff!

I do appreciate if you comment on my blog, but am still unsure about just letting you know that I appreciate it with a "thanks"! So, if you are reading my stuff...know that I thank you for doing it!

I have commented on Jo's, Linda's, Susan Wilder's, Rhonda's and Nicole's blogs. When searching, I found several blogs that I liked, these two I commented on...

Rebecca Reads http://reviews.rebeccareid.com
and
Two Kitties http://twokitties.typepad.com

The comments I made were just about learning to blog and came across their sites. I commented about how I liked that they shared what they were reading at the time and that interested me. I made these comments because they are true. I do like hearing what others are reading. I complimented them on how I liked the way one listed their readings as "Books on my nightstand" down the side of their blog.

In reading about commenting, I found that to get people to comment, you need to write with meaning, maybe ask a question or leave your comments open ended. I also found that if you are passionate about it, write it. If you not willing to defend yourself, you probably should not write it or you are asking for trouble!
