I am a blogger, but I tend to agree with what Shari and Ann Marie stated in their comments. Blogging is about fun, when you spend so much time responding to comments, it no longer is fun. Yes, if questions are asked, respond, that's a given. But, I draw the line at responding to each and every comment just because a comment was left.<br /><br />Now, from the viewpoint of a person who comments on a lot of blogs on a regular basis: I do not expect a reply to each and every comment I leave. In fact, I feel privileged if I do receive a reply. I do not think a person is rude for not replying. Thank you for your wonderful blog. I get so much enjoyment from visiting you here.<br /><br />P.S. No reply necessary. :)Carol R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09529240696964110496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-44393103068217628502009-07-13T17:48:44.231-04:002009-07-13T17:48:44.231-04:00CUTE new do!!!CUTE new do!!!Carolynhttp://sillyhappysweet.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-50563212556900395912009-07-09T11:39:02.169-04:002009-07-09T11:39:02.169-04:00I love your hair... it looks great!

I really, really do try to respond to all but sometimes it's just not possible. I try and make sure I pick everyone to write back to at one point or another. I feel bad when I just dont get around to each one. But I do read them and love them. I dont mind if people dont respond to my comments all the time. But every now and then would be nice. Some gals just dont ever respond to you so I stop leaving comments. After I've left say.....4 or 5 and nothing.... I move on. If someone has left 4 or 5 comments I for make sure I respond to one or two of them. Ok Ive rambled on long enough. I've got comments to respond too. lolol<br />Did I tell you I love your new do??Red Geranium Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12880508799091623747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-10404297775570803012009-07-08T01:13:51.070-04:002009-07-08T01:13:51.070-04:00No need to reply but I love your blog.

I just heard a piece on public radio about Facebook and how people shouldn't feel hurt if they don't get comments from some friends because you don't know what's going on with the other person. Facebook is about having fun and shouldn't be the source of bad feelings.<br /><br />Seems like the same thing applies here. Sometimes a response to a comment is not necessary, and sometimes it's hard to do. <br /><br />Heck, I have trouble blogging once a week because of the time factor. I started my blog to have a record of my quilting and I want it to be fun for me, not an obligation or more work. If others enjoy it, great. If not, that's OK too.<br /><br />I lurk on lots of blogs because I enjoy reading them, comment only when I have something to say or something really strikes me, and expect no response back.<br /><br />Love the hair!Ann Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01373133483861905896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-47666209309666792862009-07-07T20:40:59.685-04:002009-07-07T20:40:59.685-04:00Hi Karen - this generated a lot of comments with l...Hi Karen - this generated a lot of comments with lots of good advice - be true to your personality and find a way to be who you are - make a decision on what you want to do with your comments - do it your way... Maybe do what you can when you can and trust that people will be understanding because we are real women with real lives and don't exist to make others happy in blogland...<br />And I just love the new do... you are so pretty! And I understand about the grey - I started going grey at 17 and now I'm in my forties (sigh)and want to stop dying it but my husband and friends were horrified so will persevere for now... but if a grandchild comes along I'm drawing the line!<br />Hugs - ShariSharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18308423156191499365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-1327813496272320502009-07-07T10:12:20.543-04:002009-07-07T10:12:20.543-04:00I am also relatively new to blogging and I do try ...I am also relatively new to blogging and I do try to reply to comments, especially a new person.

I'm new to your blog and blogging.
Firs...Hi!<br />I'm new to your blog and blogging. <br /><br />First, what a great hair cut! It's a cute cut and must feel SO good for summer!<br /><br />Here's my comment on commenting... I don't have a lot of traffic on my blog, so I am able to respond to comments. I know some people check back and some people don't. To me it's sort of like finishing a conversation with someone. And I do want to get to "know" people.<br /><br />But the flip side is - some bloggers simply have so many comments it is overwhelming. I am not offended if they don't respond to my comments. I just like looking at pictures and projects. It's WAY cheaper than magazines!<br />Annsewmuchfun4https://www.blogger.com/profile/09841972052152898574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-72801754664815473302009-07-07T00:12:37.907-04:002009-07-07T00:12:37.907-04:00Hi Karen!

Love the cut and color!!<br /><br />I do answer all the comments that are left, I feel that is how I've gained some 'real' relationships. <br /><br />There are times that I don't respond on the very day, but I do respond. <br /><br />If I don't get a reply to the comments I've left elsewhere, I do not think poorly about the person, blog or post. I know that everyone has different reasons for blogging or just don't have time to reply to everyone. I usually reply with a comment, not a question, so if the blogger doesn't get back to me, no big deal. With that said, I feel like when a comment is reciprocated, it is a two way relationship. <br /><br />I think that 'visiting' through charming blogs such as yours are like when you go to a fun independantly owned shop verses a national chain store. There are personal touches and character that make it uniquely yours.<br /><br />Love all that you post, so don't feel pressure to stop posting just because you aren't able to keep up with the comments!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14683211917205104048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-5482690262224043692009-07-06T22:01:52.392-04:002009-07-06T22:01:52.392-04:00I am your 30th comment tonight so you do not have ...I am your 30th comment tonight so you do not have to reply. I read about 100 blogs and thank goodness they do not all post every day. I comment on probably one 5-6 each day. I post 2-3 times a week and the most comments I have every received is 9. for that reason it has been very easy to respond to each. I love getting responses but don't all the time: no problem. I read blogs that interest me or that stimulate my creativity. But the bloggers are not required to spend their sewing time responding to my every comment.Gari in ALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07695711731891676422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-15854466886448741902009-07-06T21:34:50.303-04:002009-07-06T21:34:50.303-04:00I love it!!!!!I love it!!!!!Judyhttp://dailyyarnsnmore.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-41543181940543617872009-07-06T20:44:47.467-04:002009-07-06T20:44:47.467-04:00Love that do you gorgeous thing!!Love that do you gorgeous thing!!RGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07678323038280327713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-1357293562923663282009-07-06T20:34:02.597-04:002009-07-06T20:34:02.597-04:00Love your new hair cut and color!

And it's no way possible to respond to everyone. <br /><br />I too, struggle with the proper blog-iquette with this, but try to always acknowledge a comment on my blog with visiting their blog or sending an email to them. And believe me -- and this is huge! -- I have met/maintained some incredible friendships just through comments made to me or by me. (Ahem. *grin*)<br /><br />But honestly, if you are someone who is getting 500 comments per post -- are you replying back to every single one?

I didn't realize at first there was anyway to respond to comments so I simply visited their blog too and then I upset a few people (by not responding) and a more experienced blogger explained. Now I try to respond to everything and also visit blogs and it can be daunting. If I go a long time without replying I post on my site....hey I'm busy with this, this and this.
