I like to read blogs where the comments ALL are in the comments section. Sometimes I have been more engaged by the dialogue that took place in the comment thread than the post that started it. I think a blogger who can help continue the conversation by monitoring and weighing in while the conversation is ongoing keeps me coming back. I don't see how that can happen if the conversation goes elsewhere (email or another's blog.

That seems like an efficient way to handle any comments that need a response.<BR/><BR/>To be completely honest, and I hope that I'm not sounding mean, I think that most comments don't necessarily need a response. This is jmho, though. When I leave a comment on someone's blog it isn't so that I will get a response from the blogger. I just felt like contributing to the discussion and giving feedback for what they took the time to write. Occasionally, I will comment in my own comments section, but not that often. I do try to get around to people who comment but I could be better about this. I don't even get that many comments, but I still find it hard to keep up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710842288933813336.post-5855631757392002252008-08-19T22:17:00.000-05:002008-08-19T22:17:00.000-05:00I respond by email if they ask me a question.

If I feel the need to reply back I either address it within the post I have written or in some cases will e-mail that person directly. I think I have even e-mailed you that way. (plus, its sometimes hard to comment about a comment on a monkey blog)<BR/><BR/>I think you shouldn't worry about your blog etiquette. Keep on writing and I will keep on reading. If someone is easily offended by you and your etiquette, they obviously haven't been a long time reader.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, and I left a comment on my blog about a comment you left on my blog, about some post last week.
