Read and Comment Day

April 28, 2008 by Lillie 

Chris Broggan has declared today, Monday, April 28th, “Read and Comment” day. Chris encourages bloggers to read other blogs and comment rather than – or in addition to – posting.

Find some good stuff and add to it.

I’m off to “find some good stuff.” How about you?

I didn’t know we needed a special day for it. I’m doing it every day now.

Hi Lillie,

Are you aware that the comment URLs are now “nofollow”? Perhaps it did that when you installed the CommentLuv plugin.

I see that it’s fixed. Well, I use the Firefox SearchStatus add-on to show nofollow URLs as highlighted. I don’t know if you if you use Firefox, but I don’t think there’s an add-on for MSIE, Opera or Safari.

Great idea. It’s true–I don’t leave comments as often as I would like to. There are days (weeks!) when I’m lucky I get to READ forget about adding my voice to the conversation (grin).

I regularly comment on blogs without needing encouragement or a special day to do that, Lillie. This is one habit I started quite some time ago and I haven’t let up. Good to see at least one other blogger recognizing the value of comment posting!

I admit that I often get caught up in life and work and forget to visit blogging friends. But today I decided to do that and the first one I went to was yours, Lillie. And, whatdoyaknow, it’s visit other blogs day! Hi Lillie!

Making posts and reading other blogs is something I don’t do together. There simply isn’t enough time for that. so I usually take one day just to browse around and find interesting blogs while making some comments.

I guess I don’t want that blog becomes my job – I want to be relaxed and do it with passion and feeling.

Oops, I’m a day behind. Ironically I was trying to use today as a day to go out commenting and I found your post saying it was yesterday! Always a day late and a dollar short :)

Wow! You sure are ambitious, Lillie! How do you do it, anyway? I’m happy to get a small blog post with a baby around!

I’m back to writing again, so hope to see you at my blog some time soon!

Have a great day!

Lisa

There was no need for a special day for it. I am a blogger myself but before I write my blog I read and comment on a dozen other blogs everyday..

Lillie,

Sorry I missed this! I’ve been so incredibly busy lately that I just haven’t managed to “make the rounds”! But, I love your blog and feel it offers so much value to your readers. I can definitely tell your heart is in it!

Thanks for visiting and commenting at Writer’s Notes whenever you can!

Well clearly I’ve found some good stuff because I’ve found this blog, and am having fun reading and commenting myself. Sounds like a good idea of a day to me!

Comments make your blog traffic higher if you put your blog links there .. comment also makes the people that read your comments could see your blog and share information together :)

Richard,

Yes, comments are a good way for people to find out about your blog.
