Blogger Etiquette

One more...I just seem to have a 3 post minimum when I finally sit down and do it!

What is the etiquette say for blogging: When someone kindly comments on your blog, should I be going to their sites and commenting? I am reading the other blogs and just don't know if I should be commenting to let them know that I am reading. I know that it is fun for me to read what others say about my thoughts (i.e. blogs), but I just wasn't sure what everyone else thought about comments on others.

Just curious...

So glad you posted this. I will ref it on my blog too. I usually go visit and comment if it is a blog I plan to add to my bloglines.

You gals are probably referencing me! I'm sorry if I've stepped on your toes. I did a search for SAHM blogs and found Robin's and started reading. When I saw your comments on her blog, I followed the link in your profile.

If you'd rather not have me reading, I'd be glad to stop. I just felt a real connection with you gals.

Thanks for the prayers for my mom, by the way!

I don't mind commenting on others...just curious as to what 'should be' the norm. I think it is great that we are able to connect with other people by their blogs! Don't stop! I am happy to have this outlet available to me!

I would agree with Robin. I don't think you should have to feel like you need to comment on everyone's blog that comments on yours. But it's a nice way to let them know that you're reading theirs also and can form a little bond if they're someone you connect with in some way. I think most people who blog, like to know that people are reading it.

Great blog, by the way, I've enjoyed reading it.

As long as you read my blog and comment, we are ok! :)

I've just started blogging and reading blogs. I try to comment if I think I have something to say. I think that's part of the point of the whole blogging thing. However, I don't think you should be obligated to comment just to let someone know you reading their stuff. Just my thoughts. I like to read other blogs, it helps me put my life in perspective at times, seeing I'm not the only one trying to lose weight or going out of my mind or with a messy house...etc...thanks!

I actually love to have people leave comments on my blog. I feel connected and like people are listening to me. Also, when I read someone's I try to leave a comment just so they know! It's kinda fun!
