My rambling thoughts about replying to comments -
In the past, I replied to every comment. I always wanted to say "thank you" and continue the conversation when someone visited. But I started to wonder if folks see my reply to their comment. Because with Blogger, I don't know if someone has replied when I comment on their blog. (With Wordpress, I do know if someone has replied to my comment on their blog. There is a notification.) My blog is with Blogger so maybe folks don't know that I have replied to their comments? To reply or not to reply is the question. (I'm thinking I should even if there is no way for them to know! It's been strange not replying as I always want to say "thank you". Their comments mean so much!)

Loralee,
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed and appreciated every comment you have left on my blog this month! Thank you!
You are so welcome! I enJOY visiting your blog!
DeleteYou are right! Maybe I'm a no-reply blogger. I'll have to figure out how to fix that for my blogger. I don't go back and look to see if someone has replied either. And I, like you, would like to continue conversations. Hmmmm...... you have me thinking!
ReplyDeleteI know! Maybe there IS a Blogger feature like Wordpress!
DeleteI like how Wordpress doesn't email me. The little speech bubble in red just shows up when I am on Wordpress! :0)
I've loved every time you visit, too, Loralee. I still reply to my comments, and know that sometimes people return, but if not, it's fine. I tried to complete that little conversation. On regular Tuesdays it's easier to find people, but with so many posting, sometimes I can't find your post, or others. I liked your questions.
ReplyDeleteYou, Linda, are most amazing at replying to all your visitors! Inspiring!
DeleteI think I need to keep doing it even if the person doesn't know I did! It's ingrained in me to always say thank you...My mom still asks me if I have said "thank you" to so and so for this and that. :0)
We must think the same way! I feel I must reply & with a thank you, too. Guess that's from my mother too. Will be sure to come back often!
