Blog Comment Day 2008

From John Smulo:

Though there may be 100 reasons why people blog, I’ve yet to meet a blogger who doesn’t appreciate comments. For this reason I’m starting Blog Comment Day on December 3, 2008. Here’s how it works:

  • On December 3, 2008 you will leave one comment on at least 5 different blogs.
  • Out of the 5 blogs you comment on, at least 2 of them will be blogs you haven’t commented on previously.

Right. This Wednesday, I’d love to encourage you to take part in Blog Comment Day 2008. If you plan to participate, do visit the link above and leave a comment. Great way to prepare yourself.

Anyway. Certainly there are blogs that do not allow comments, and blogs who’s authors do not dialogue with the comments for various reasons, but of the blogs that have authors who do engage with those leaving comments, it’s fairly safe to say that it is a privilege for the author to have that kind of connection with readers.

I don’t get a particularly large number of comments, but it’s great to get the ones that I do, and respond with other comments, or with emails, depending on the situation. So, if you need a blog to comment on, why not this one?

3 Comments

  1. Thanks for mentioning Blog Comment Day! I agree that it is a privilege for blog authors to receive comments. I know I feel this way. I think that with feed readers and everyone’s busyness that blog readers don’t always comment as much as they could. So I hope this event spreads some more comments around.

  2. Does “hello” count as a comment?
    I know I haven’t commented here before, even though I’ve been reading your blog for quite a while

  3. “Hello” certainly counts. I appreciate the comment, and the chance to check out your writings. You have good stuff there. Thank you.
