I’ve only just found your post, but its so interesting! My blog is (mostly) about knitting, and I tend to prefer responding to comments by email or twitter directly back to the person to have that one-on-one contact – and my comments on other’s blogs are responded to in the same way, if they respond. If there is a question raised in the comments, I tend to answer it in the context of my next blog. I’d be interested in replying in the comments section though, just to see what happens – I know that most blogs I read, I don’t go back to see who responded there, because I forget where I leave comments! This new RSS for comments would get around that though…

@ Marie Ann Bailey You need to try some voice to text software like Dragon Naturally Speaking. Headset on, kneedles and yarn in hand and off you go - knitting and typing! Knitting blogs - I am not going to look. I am not going to look. I am not going to look. Ok, just a peek. *And she resurfaces three weeks later.

What a great post! I am a knitter and a blogger, but I blog about writing. (I can read and knit at the same time, but I haven’t learned how to write and knit at the same time — yet.) I can imagine knitting bloggers to *seem* like they are not responding to comments as some may prefer to respond via email. And not all comments may be response worthy. As many of you already pointed out, bloggers who get mountains of comments with every post may just be too overwhelmed to answer each one. I know that I don’t expect a response with every comment I leave. It’s nice to be acknowledged, but it’s nothing personal when you’re not.

In stitches,
Marie

@ Bob – Knitters blog. And knitters blog like there’s no freakin’ tomorrow. Knitters can whup our asses hands down – and probably dust off their hands and then whup the asses of 12 other big names out there without blinking.

True about the stereotypes, by the way. (I can’t form anything more coherent at this hour without coffee.)

At first, I was going to tell you that you were full of crap. Knitters' blogs?!? Then I realized something. Just like any of my hobbies (Dungeons and Dragons comes to mind) there is a corner of the blogosphere devoted to it. Part of that process of realization is dropping stereotypes. Just like not every D&D blogger is a tubby guy with a goatee (though I am) not every knitting blogger is an octogenarian. Commenting is indeed what keeps the blogosphere going. It is the conversational nature and tone of blogs that, by and large, separates them from the rest of the Internet. Isn't that what web 2.0 is all about, really? Social networking. Social bookmarking. Good form! Bob Younce's last blog post..Writing Around the Web - March 16, 2008

I am not a professional blogger, but at least I try and my blog exist to reach out to people around the world to help stop animal suffering.

As far as your blog is concerned, I give you a thumb’s up, as I find it iquite educational and informative . For me to share and receive comments from viewers would be really a brave act, as I’ve said earlier I am not a professional writer, but I tried for the sake of animal suffering!

Perhaps, you can help me as how to go about to get this page to add in my blogger for viewers to submit their comments.

My most warmest regards, Lily from Malaysia

Good to know. I might take you up on that.

I have FF, and it looked fine to me. Haven’t used IE for years now. If you need a good coder to take a look at it, I can recommend someone.

Hopefully all the paragraphs won’t run together for you. I’m having some tech troubles with the new template I uploaded, and I have no clue how to fix the spacing between paragraphs. Works in firefox though!
