Are You A Commenter?
Would you be interested in taking part in a discussion? Almost all blogs give you the opportunity to leave a comment after each post. As a matter of fact, the practice is encouraged. If you are a blogger, one of the best ways to get comments is apparently to give comments on other blogs. It’s easy to be a “lurker”, but taking part in the discussion encourages the one who wrote the post as well as provides you with an excellent link back to your site. Personally, I’ve tried to take part more lately on the blogs that I regularly read, and one of the results has been more traffic to my site. Anyone with a website or blog wants that. This post was prompted by Chris Garrett’s post titled 10 Reasons Commenting is Good For Bloggers, where he points out:
Blogging is not just about saying your piece, it is also about going out and joining the conversation where it is happening. It’s about reaching out to people and exposing yourself (steady!) to new ideas.
To those of you reading my blog, don’t be shy. If you have a thought about something you read here, don’t hesitate to share it……I welcome the discussion.

I always thought the word ‘lurker’ was a funny one, it sounds like a nightmarish monster

ClarkeW, Thanks. I like making illustrations from scratch, silly or not. I appreciate your comments and enjoyed that post about your Top 5 favorite blogs.

Joe, I thought that drawing on your site was hilarious! What blogger can’t identify with that? 1200 pageviews with 1 unique visitor? Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the tip on the Cutline theme. I like it a lot! There a few things that I still need to modify but overall, it’s working out pretty good. Thanks again! By the way, nice blog!
