Hi Alex,

I hear what you’re saying. When life keeps us busy outside of blogging, or with other blogging endeavors, we don’t have a lot of time to read the comments of the posts we read and/or comment on.

With the priorities I’ve chosen for my business (plus wanting to have a life), I don’t have much time to read blog posts, so reading comments rarely happens.

There are a few blogs where I read the comments, but when I respond to a post, I always subscribe to comments via email so I do read the comments left by people after me.

@ Petra and Barbara – sometimes I too don’t comment and wait .. but then I think – no go back and comment, then it’s done .. it’s a time thing too. However as you say it’s worth going back and seeing what everyone says as here .. this has been a great commenters’ gathering -

thank you everyone! Hilary

Hi Petra,

That’s a good point – waiting to see how the dialogue goes. Often the commenters enjoy communicating amongst themselves, so it can be beneficial for the blog author to wait until they respond.

Barbara – blogging is indeed a two way street most of the time. I also think it could hinder the dialogue within the commentators by responding to each comment therefore stopping the flow.

Typically, I always comment back as long as there are just a few comments. But when there is a great dialogue – why intervene when there is a great discussion. That does not mean I won’t comment back at all, I just wait and see how the discussion goes.
