Thanks for the tip!<br /><br />Your point about the blogger needing to encourage commenting by responding and interacting is well taken!Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01083171991057163068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988770883823250765.post-64848232275378470422010-01-08T08:03:26.190-05:002010-01-08T08:03:26.190-05:00What blog reader are you using?

My personal blog pet peeve with readers are bloggers who only allow the first two sentences of a post to be included in the feed. That's not usually enough to pull me into a post so I'll click over to the site. <br /><br />As for comments, I feel like there are some places where I comment and so where I don't. The places where I do comment, it's because the blogger makes an effort to interact with commenters--responding to comments, visiting your site in return, etc. I do try to engage in the comment stream or the converesation the author has started. I know comments always brighten my day as a blogger, so I guess commenting on other posts is my way to pay it forward.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18232262261483229338noreply@blogger.com
