It's plain rude to never acknowledge the people who read what you write. My biggest pet peeve is when I comment and never even an acknowledgment! It's the readers of your works who make a blog popular. You have always been so kind when I respond to your excellent writings. I am going to stop reading blogs who never say THANKS!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253477173808426796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-19909566880535987382013-02-18T09:32:39.518+11:002013-02-18T09:32:39.518+11:00Thanks all for chiming in and adding to this conve...Thanks all for chiming in and adding to this conversation - you are all in my superbloggers category.<br />GeniAushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074874999181040071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-50635049170823947952013-02-18T04:07:49.250+11:002013-02-18T04:07:49.250+11:00Thanks for the re-publishing Jill. I wasn't in...Thanks for the re-publishing Jill. I wasn't in "the blogosphere" first time around and, after 12 months of blogging, have now come to realise that different people have different expectations e.g. My purpose for setting up a blog was to pass onto family the "stories" (oral history) to put the flesh on the bones of my decades of building, and sharing, our Family Tree. So I was shocked, surprised and delighted when "strangers" began commenting and, of course, always replied to their kind remarks because, not only do I find them interesting, but reckon that's what you do when somebody "speaks" to you... just good manners.<br />On becoming more familiar with blogging, I began making comments on other blogs and was most surprised to discover that some never ever reply to any comments and then others select only a few whom they seem to judge as being more worthy of a response... although that may not be the intent. <br />So, as "they" say... "horses for courses". To have one's comments constantly ignored, and not even a "thankyou for dropping by", gives the message that your views are not valued so, of course, interest wanes especially as the blogosphere is "chocker" full with incredibly interesting, and informative blogs, and never enough time to read them all. Thanks again Jill and happy cruisin' :-)...

It just makes you feel like real people are reading your posts. I have been leaving comments as I read. I don't comment on every post I read, but I try to comment on the ones that's spark something in me.<br /><br />BettyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16149186891188677587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-85802454671719374362013-02-17T10:28:34.981+11:002013-02-17T10:28:34.981+11:00I think we bloggers have all come to realise its p...I think we bloggers have all come to realise its potentail to create a community of friends. Comments are so important to building up those bonds, but as the blog writers we also need to respond to the comments so it is a dynamic process.Cassmob (Pauleen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18397134336319778519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-8091714302618942042013-02-17T09:06:57.620+11:002013-02-17T09:06:57.620+11:00Hi Jill - Hear!

But I'd be very disappointed if people didn't respond mostly because I recognise my failings and weaknesses and often ask others' advice and hope that others might spot the glaring errors I miss. I learn so much from others' blogs and from their comments. Different perspectives and all that. My world has been so much richer for blogging...I feat thought that I will get a numb bottom from all the time I could spend here in the blog universe ;)Alex Dawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083753053051713061noreply@blogger.com
