Yanno, there is one thing I really hate about Blogger and Wordpress.
On LiveJournal, when someone comments, you can hit “reply” and they see your reply.
Here and on WP I don’t even know if I SHOULD reply. It just sits there on my own page when I do. No one knows I have. Do people check back to see if I did? Do they get upset because I didn’t?
Argh!
It creates such a conundrum for me.
How do y’all feel?
Do you like replies to your comments?
Expect them?
Get mad or feel neglected if you don’t get them?
Does it matter which site you commented on? I mean, knowing how much better LJ handles them do you look for replies there more than on Blogger or Wordpress?
I know when I comment to people I’m actually surprised when they reply. Lol.
For so long I had just these little blogger blogs and maybe ten readers a day. Thirty on a good day. I never GOT comments!
Now that I all of a sudden have hundreds of people reading and at least a few comments on each post I’m confused!
So…
Comment. LOL.
Let me know what the damned etiquette is, someone, puhleeeese?

As you wish, Mistress! Lol…(^v^)
Ummm…I find it a pain to go back and see if anyone has replied to my comment on anything other than LJ- half the time I can’t remember the title of the post and half the time there isn’t a reply anyway!
I’m a comment whore. I absolutely love getting comments. In fact, that’s what gets me out of bed some mornings- checking to see if there are comments on my recent post! But I’m terrible at replying to comments. Sometimes I just don’t know what to say or don’t have anything to say and other times there just isn’t enough time in the day to do it.
Generally, I find that about 10% or less of people who read a blog leave a comment and I know the kind of posts that will generate comments. (See, I think about things too much! Lol.)
Personally, I can cope if I don’t get a reply to a comment I’ve made, but if I have asked a specific question, I do like to have it answered.

I told Taylor about the “as you wish Mistress” comment and the look on his face gave me an even bigger one. Hehe.
I tend to not comment on blogs often. Not sure why other than I read them from a RSS reader and commenting means I have to actually go to the site. Am I lazy or what?
Maybe that’s why I’m so unsure how to handle the ones I get.
It’s good to know people don’t really expect an answer or get angry over being neglected, though.
I’ll have to keep in mind that questions deserve an answer. I think I usually do but… sheesh… sometimes I run out of time and forget I even got a comment. Lol.
I was just getting myself all in a tizzy, thinking too much, about people being hurt and offended by my lack of answering so, again, it’s good to hear they’re generally not.
Whew.
