My only question is: If there's no email address attached, how do you respond? I've tried responding in the comments, but I'll be honest: I rarely go back to look at posts I've already commented on; what makes me think someone would come back and read mine? Anyway, I guess the point it, I cut bloggers slack when it comes to comments. For most of us, this is a hobby, and we're having fun with it and doing the best we can!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01899277351488775904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-24194818079957679812010-06-24T15:32:11.951-07:002010-06-24T15:32:11.951-07:00I L-O-V-E the Dragon swing.

Taylors face is priceless in that pic!<br /><br />On the comment question...<br />I think it depends...I try to answer and find myself doing it through Twitter, Facebook or email. I never comment back on my actual comments because I don't think that people look back.<br /><br />BUT...you know I am a BUSY girl. It gets hard enough JUST to post let alone respond or comment on other blogs, especially from my phone. <br /><br />So long winded answer is...I LOVE comments but I am not offended and dont be offended when I/you don't hear back. :)Mandy @ In the Fashion Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10401700586249090420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-15491789050631018182010-06-23T19:52:27.263-07:002010-06-23T19:52:27.263-07:00just found you via blessedlittlenest :)

I love it when readers write something thoughtful, encouraging, or even constructive criticism. I love it even more when commenting turns into a full dialogue and sometimes an email friendship of sorts. <br /><br />How are you liking The Help? It is one of my favorite books I've read this past year-- they're turning it into a movie, too!marielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08488886995462824868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-27178584316461692512010-06-22T23:34:37.414-07:002010-06-22T23:34:37.414-07:00OUT OF DIAPERS!!!

Congratulations mama that's most awesome!! <br />I had been leaving comments on peoples blogs for almost a year before I got my first email response from a blogger so it's not something I was even aware that bloggers did so I never got in the habit of doing it - what I do instead is visit the "commentors" blog and leave a comment - it's the kind of quid pro quo I really enjoy!!!elsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02819567910100552668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-52446886143845663962010-06-22T19:45:38.060-07:002010-06-22T19:45:38.060-07:00Sounds like lots of fun :) Its good to get away f...Sounds like lots of fun :) Its good to get away from the computer sometimes...Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384277110904485746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-43871099703783163372010-06-22T19:36:53.944-07:002010-06-22T19:36:53.944-07:00I try to respond to every comment I get, but somet...I try to respond to every comment I get, but sometimes that gets hard, especially as I try to balance family and life with the increasing amount of time I spend on my blog.<br /><br />I go back and forth on method, too. Sometimes I will email, other times I will respond in my own comment section. I like to respond in the comment section if it's something I think other people will find value in, of course. One thing I worry about is the comment count. If I replied in the comments to every comment I get, my count would be artificially high and I don't want to give off the impression that I am doing that intentionally. Another blogger once suggested this as a technique to looking bigger than you are, and it left such a poor taste in my mouth that I make sure to limit the number of times I reply in the comment section.Juleshttp://www.pancakesandfrenchfries.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-76387242489210419272010-06-22T16:38:09.896-07:002010-06-22T16:38:09.896-07:00Yay no diapers. :)

I usually just comment on my own blog under the comments section and I'll comment if someone asks a question or wants to know something. If I see a comment from someone new I usually click on their profile and visit their blog and say Hi...other than that I don't know...but I'ma newbie to blogging. <br />xoxoCrooked Moon Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241093683989459876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-88900638645055004912010-06-22T16:28:04.724-07:002010-06-22T16:28:04.724-07:00The fact that some bloggers personally respond to ...The fact that some bloggers personally respond to all of their commentors is fairly new info to me. I couldn't believe it when I heard it. Personally, I never respond. I don't know how, and I didn't think anyone was waiting for a response. I certainly never expect a response when I comment on a blog. Then again, if it's someone new, or I haven't stopped by her blog lately, I do pop over to her blog and give a little hello. Is that what you mean? Either way, I am apparently not very polite in blog land. Maybe that's why I only have 32 followers, and my peeps have hundreds. Of course, I don't even blog every day, so my opinion might not count. Boy, this is long. sorry! :)On the Bright Sidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15304918765515292853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-41145366972118032492010-06-22T15:42:24.682-07:002010-06-22T15:42:24.682-07:00I love the picture of Taylor!

To answer your question on my blog...Love your post.<br />To answer your question on my blog, that little tub full of sponges is an antique Chinese washing tub, so I thought it would be cool to have it in the laundry room. I got it from Wisteria, thinking it was bigger than it was, saved it in a closet till the perfect moment.<br /><br />As far as comments on my blog, I feel just like you do, with one exception. I do try to answer comments, but I've felt discouraged when their emails aren't listed or whatever. My problem is how long it takes to read all the blogs I love, comment on them, and still answer all the comments on my own blog. It gets involved. I'm trying to find a happy medium, still with no success.<br />And congrats on the diapers. Lucky you.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01313127576303289593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-28704726881145706842010-06-22T13:02:18.319-07:002010-06-22T13:02:18.319-07:00i'm with you on the commenting. i blog becaus...i'm with you on the commenting. i blog because i like the connections i make. i try to keep the correspondence going by checking the persons blog that left a message and commenting on one of their posts. if no blog then i try email. it's hard because we are all busy with families and such, but i try the best i can to connect.<br /><br />have you read blogging for bliss? awesome fast read from an amazing blogger. highly recommend it. she touches on just this sort of thing.<br /><br />have a happy week! can't wait til friday.<br /><br />gotta run,<br />peace out girl scout.Heather @ Life Made Lovelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15735627545669231663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-73190383924481409322010-06-22T11:15:43.540-07:002010-06-22T11:15:43.540-07:00Just a quick HI, Andrea!

I really liked it, and missed the characters when I finished. I made the caramel cake icing off of the author's website to take to book club (along with your creme brule french toast), and it was delish!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11602098346549973517noreply@blogger.com
