Time For A Blog Commenting Challenge
I have been a terrible blogger of late.
Not so much in the writing side of blogging.
More in the commenting side of blogging.
You see, no one understands the true value of blog comments more than a blogger.
So in my mind, part of a bloggers role is to reach out and encourage other bloggers by commenting on their blogs.
I think it’s a fine line because some bloggers get worried their comments will only be construed as self promotion.
But it’s all about community isn’t it?
I find blog commenting is bit like blog writing. When you’re in the habit of doing so regularly, it tends to just “happen”.
Get out of the “habit” though and it becomes easier to just read blogs quickly and move on to the next one.
Once upon a time I did a lot of blog commenting. I’ve always got something to say so it’s not that hard really.
BUT, I’ve gotten out of the habit and fallen into the “read and move on” category.
I’m still READING.
I’m still appreciating what the blogger has to say.
Just, perhaps, not really letting them know.
So, I’m setting myself a challenge.
Comment on 100 blogs in 1 week.
At 14-15 blogs per day, it won’t be an easy challenge.
I’ll be posting next week on how I went.
Anyone else want to set themselves a blog commenting challenge?

WOW! 100 blogs a week…I don’t think I could do that but I do want to try leaving comments too. I need to start small because I will feel guilty if I can’t make my goal. So I’m going to start with commenting on35 blogs a week–or 5 a day. If I easily manage that, I’ll add more. I think it’s a great idea. You’re right…comments *do* mean a lot!
That does sound like a huge challenge. But you’re right, comments really do mean a lot to bloggers, so good luck with achieving your challenge.
lol I used to be a far better commenter than I am today - but I was also a better reader then too - with over 1000 posts to read in my reader, it is enough of a challenge to open my bloglines!!
