i started blogg...i feel like sharing something too.<br />i started blogging for many reasons and most importantly to view my thoughts in black and white as to whether i am coherent or chaotic in my reasoning. <br />But just like anybody i too started looking for inputs from fellow bloggers.<br />Often i feel forsaken.:(<br />i don't follow many only a few but i am loyal to that limited few.<br />The day i get a single comment i feel rewarded in a way that there's somebody out there who has heard what i've just said. Sometimes there is an added bonanza when a different perspective is offered to me. <br />Sometimes i feel lonely and other times i try not to care.But that hunger for comments remains. <br />i am glad to have met a sensitive and lovely person such as you although the meet is a virtual one.But somehow this virtual feels better than real trust me for i have many real frnds who encouraged me to blog and now are nowhere in sight.Sure i see them on facebook and social networking sites making a huge impression but on my blog there is only one.i feel happy to see her comments and secretly wish she gets more leisure time to provide me with more.<br />It could also be that i am a hopelessly boring blogger so i can't blame frnds completely. <br />i hope when you have the inclination and the time you could visit me too and help me with your inputs. :)Shivani Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08693724458955705943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743443639212501852.post-16620026971042691272011-07-13T11:19:17.477+02:002011-07-13T11:19:17.477+02:00Blogging is about sharing and without comments or ...Blogging is about sharing and without comments or connections it loses it luster.

I’ve also thought about doing a post on commenting, hoping it would help others connect and maintain connections.<br /><br />Okay, so here’s what works for me. <br />I’m not remotely interested in blog hopping, but I am in making and keeping faithful blog friends. Which means that if they leave feedback on my site, I always go over to theirs and return the kindness. This is the best way to build a rapport with readers and followers. Of course it does take time. Not only is it time consuming to reply to the comments on my blog, but it’s equally time consuming to visit my friends and keep up with theirs. However, it’s well worth the effort because I have established meaningful connections and wonderful friends. <br /> <br />Not often, but every so often, I’ll visit a stranger and if I like what they’ve written, I’ll leave a comment. But if they don’t take the time to “return the luv” I’m out of there :) Because I no longer have time to spend on those who think commenting is a one way street - as I’m sure you don’t. <br /><br />It’s interesting that I have a friend whom I know up close and personal who seems to think that her blog is so awesome that she doesn’t have to reply to comments, much less visit the blogs of those who’ve left feedback. I’ve tried to help her but, oh well, maybe she’ll live and learn like everyone else:)Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273349436461781371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743443639212501852.post-71225164510675747992011-07-12T21:03:08.502+02:002011-07-12T21:03:08.502+02:00It's rare that I write anything about myself. ...It's rare that I write anything about myself. Normally it is just poetry...but when something good happens, I want to share it with everyone! <br />I started blogging just over three years ago and only had one follower, but then they came and liked what I was doing.<br />I've been around blogger for a lot longer than that though, I used to have my own site but that got too hard to do.<br />Even on here, I once did 100 posts in 100 days! But I love hearing from other people and staying in contact with them.<br />I love just browsing around and finding something new....all of this because I broke my ankle and started looking around one day!Alice in Wonderlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15068858292644394838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743443639212501852.post-57164248550792624642011-07-12T09:30:42.366+02:002011-07-12T09:30:42.366+02:00I write because I have to do so (I'm compelled...I write because I have to do so (I'm compelled), but I also enjoy the sense of community that I get from commenters and the conversation that begins once I hit "post."Jen (emsun.org)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15262746716973961624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743443639212501852.post-30357194585926135322011-07-11T21:03:36.207+02:002011-07-11T21:03:36.207+02:00Like you, I never though much of comments when I b...Like you, I never though much of comments when I began to blog. But it does gnaw at you, doesn't it? It's part of the human experience. Part of being accepted and acknowledged.<br /><br />I like popping in every now and then, and always make it a point to leave feedback behind. And not a short post. No, no! If I haven't got the time, I will come back and read your column again and leave you the feedback you deserve.<br /><br />Many thanks for existing.<br /><br />Greetings from London.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743443639212501852.post-15795565869774334862011-07-11T17:47:39.854+02:002011-07-11T17:47:39.854+02:00I think we Bloggers all love comments.

Seems like everyone would like to chime in. In "real life" we all chime in, huh? Thanks, Being Me, for leaving your comments. They bring a little smile to my face and a little excitement.

That's one of the blogging principles to my opinion.<br />Everyone loves comments.

I only started blogging to just have a voice, to write and get things out there. However, when I started seeing followers I sort of freaked out. I started writing about things that I thought readers would like. I started worrying about people who actually know me reading the blog.. <br />Now after a year of blogging I just write with no regard to who is actually reading it. I think this is the best way to actually write and to actually get followers. I dont place ads, do giveaways.. any of that stuff..
