Thanks for Your Comments

April 7, 2008 by Lillie 

In January, I thanked commenters for the entire year of 2007 at once. I decided I wouldn’t wait that long again – creating that list took a lot more time and effort than I anticipated. In January, I started keeping track of comments as I replied to them, so this list for the first quarter of 2008 was much easier to compile.

Thank you to the 172 commenters for 300+ comments that created wonderful conversations. I have learned so much from you and have been so inspired and encouraged by your words and presence.

I appreciate every comment – and every reader who doesn’t comment, but I want to recognize a few of the most active participants in the community here.

    Feel free to use that line, Renae.

  15. Gus Direct says:

    Wow, you thank people for commenting. I too am glad I found your blog, hopefully I can supply enough content to reward thanks.

  16. Lillie says:

    Gus,
    Comments make blogging a conversation, which I love.

  17. Lillie,

    What a surprise to finally come up for air after completing one of my writing projects and learn that I’m your top comment contributor for the first quarter of 2008! That is amazing, because I’ve really felt as if I’ve been neglecting all my favorite blogs lately due to being so incredibly busy! Knowing that is really encouraging. (Glad we kept that long comment thread going recently. I’m sure that helped!) :)

    I think it’s a great idea that you’ve decided to recognize your commenters quarterly! It will save you so much work at the end of the year! (You have so many commenters!)

    Always happy to visit and comment here! Your blog is very special–as are you!

    Blessings,
    Jeanne

  18. Lillie says:

    Jeanne,
    Thank you for being such an important part of this blog. I enjoyed our long conversation – and all your comments.

  19. Steve Bannister says:

    Hey Lillie,

    Thanks for the link. You have a wonderful blog with a wealth of information.

    I like the way you listed your commenters.

    Cheers,
    Steve

    Steve,
    I appreciate the compliment and your comments.

  21. thanks for including me!

    i recall now that i was going to follow your footsteps – so thanks for the reminder! i hope to have my post up by the end of the month.

  22. Lillie says:

    Isabella,
    I’m following in the footsteps of several other bloggers who regularly thank commenters. Welcome to the club.:-)

    Renae,
    Discovering blogging is a conversation rather than a monologue surprised me, and I’m glad to thank those who participate.
