		<description>Hi TOPolk,

Welcome to the BWAB community!  I love to see first time visitors/commenters.  :)

Yes, letting the blog author know we were there is often common courtesy, so even if we don&#039;t read every word, we can usually leave a meaningful comment...which I think they appreciate.  

I know I do.</description>

		<description>Hola.  First time reader/commenter.

As a long time blogger, I have to say that I&#039;m guilty of not reading every word of every post I comment on.  It happens to be the best of us.  However I think that more times than not, its an issue of wanting to let the blogger know that they have an audience opposed to not wanting to read it all.  We&#039;re all busy people and every post that we come across isn&#039;t golden.  But sometimes its nice to drop in and just say &quot;hey.  I was here.  I may not have read it all..but I at least skimmed it.&quot;

It happens.

		<description>Hi Evelyn,

That is funny...you going back to Vered&#039;s post.  :lol:

Sometimes it is tough to cut a post short, but other times, by breaking it up, it makes for a great mini series.  Knowing that our visitors are scanning teaches us a lot.  Although some bloggers are highly successful with long posts, it&#039;s got to be our call.</description>
