enjoyed this post. As a fiction author while i’m in the middle of writin my story i like to ask my community for a name or situation to throw in the story and whosever i choose gets to read some parts of that story first before anyone else. My blog community loves those rewards

I am not a blogger at all. I enjoy reading what others have to say. I am the kind of person that keeps his mouth shut if I don’t know what I am talking about. I will say this. I feel appreciated now even though I usually do not leave a comment. Thank You!

Excellent read Kiesha.

On my blog I created a section in the sidebar that lists posts that I’ve commented on in an effort to share with my readers articles, such as yours, I considered informative, valuable and useful.

Although retweets are an excellent way to promote a great post, not everyone uses Twitter therefore, this is just another means to help promote a fellow blogger and a well-written post.

Hey Kiesha this is an excellent blog post – i really enjoyed reading it. Its funny to see how much stuff I already did without even knowing! Its all about having that community.

When you are replying to people’s comments, visiting their site, retweeting their posts they start to love you and want to comment even more.

I try to leave a question at the end of each blog post to encourage comments too. Otherwise they may not comment!

Also I tell them to retweet if they liked it!

I thank them for commenting too.

I think that being able to subscribe to the comments increases the community because they will be notified when a response is made.

Fantastic Post!

Thank you for a much needed reminder of what I’m supposed to be doing. When things get busy, sometimes it’s just easier to reply to a comment and not take it further.

Another thing I try to do is to send emails to first-time commenters, ones who ask specific questions and folks who said something really insightful.

Some might say that. Others might say obsessionist. Gives me something good to blog about.

Hi Eliza!
I’m glad you found this helpful. I can totally relate, I wasn’t exactly enthused about it, I didn’t think anyone would find it to be interesting. I’m so glad I was wrong and that I went ahead and wrote it anyway.

K. Praslowicz » Very cool. That camera looks ancient. I think my grandma’s grandma probably owned one of those. Are you a photo enthusiast?
