I often re-check the comments section, just to see whom else has felt led to say something. But then, I am 953 years old and my brain works with a pre-computer paradigm.LinBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15999430801003441981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156414460800826239.post-2150759300792476282012-01-08T22:58:13.397+00:002012-01-08T22:58:13.397+00:00Hello!

I was having the same dilemma; I installed Disqus about a month ago and I love it - unlike the default Blogger approach, I can reply to individual comments directly (I can even just reply to the notification email) and people can opt to see only the messages I'm sending to them. I'm totally converted.Sarah Rooftopshttp://www.sarahrooftops.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156414460800826239.post-34938767589052638602012-01-08T03:39:46.573+00:002012-01-08T03:39:46.573+00:00I use the "notify me of follow up comments&qu...I use the "notify me of follow up comments" option quite a bit. I think that if you really want a reply you'll either make the effort to come back or will keep that post unread in your reader so you can remember to come back.<br /><br />It's good for you to reply to comments here because others may of been wondering the same thingNinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441124599291749634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156414460800826239.post-51614646571280935582012-01-07T21:50:01.596+00:002012-01-07T21:50:01.596+00:00If I have the option to receive further comments b...If I have the option to receive further comments by email, I generally take it.

I would love to respond to everyone but I just don't have the time. When I leave comments I don't expect a reply unless I've asked a question. When I do ask a question I normally bookmark the page then check it a few days later to see if I've gotten a response. One thing I've seen other bloggers do is reply to comments by leaving a comment on the commenters blog, thanking them for their comment.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870435785776540136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156414460800826239.post-24302106393604943002012-01-07T17:42:46.528+00:002012-01-07T17:42:46.528+00:00I never have time to reply to everyone but I'd...I never have time to reply to everyone but I'd love to because I'm always so chuffed to get a comment on my blog. If you have time then I think a quick email or return comment on a post is lovely but don't stress if you don't get around to it - people understand.<br /><br />Love your blog! <br /><br />Nicki xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06569770144344942918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156414460800826239.post-22299148219779807142012-01-07T11:36:18.420+00:002012-01-07T11:36:18.420+00:00I reply in the comments, assuming anyone who is re...I reply in the comments, assuming anyone who is really interested will tick the "notify me of follow up comments" bit, and try to visit the commenter's blog and comment back.Alicia Foodycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931796992646884249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156414460800826239.post-3913722988505820402012-01-07T11:11:21.658+00:002012-01-07T11:11:21.658+00:00I have been mulling over that too.

Then you can choose if you want a notification when the post get other comments. It's not ideal as you may get a lot of notification where people just says thing like "Nice" or "Lovely", but you will see when the blog owner answer your own comment. If I get this option on other blogs I usually don't care to get notfication if my own comment has been just an exclamation, but some posts, like the one you made on being snotty against crafters, often makes the comments by other people very intersting to read and I like to get the notifications on those too. <br /><br />I try to answer all my comments too- as you say one feels very happy for each and ever one. I also think that a reader needs that feedback too. If I comment on a blog and never, ever, gets and answer, then I eventually stop commenting. I may still read it, but if the blog owner isn't interested in my comments, which a non-answer makes you feel, then I stop bothering commenting. I read many blogs and prefer to comment on those were I get some feedback. :)<br /><br />Happy 200th post, btw!Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380497568603304818noreply@blogger.com
