Comments, Comments and More Comments…

I’ve decided to so it, after mulling it over for a few days, I’ve joined the June Comment Challenge over at Harriet.

The idea of the challenge is that you try to leave 1000 comments on other blogs during the month of June.

Sounds challenging right, if you started on June first that would be 33-34 comments every day for the entire month.

But seeing as I’m a little late out of the gate it’s more like 44-46 comments every day to stay on track. Let’s see if I can do it!

I often read posts that I really like, but I can never think of anything relevant and witty to add to the conversation, guess I’ll really have to try hard.

Want to join in on the challenge? Jump on over to Harriet and sign up!

On commenting…

I hate it when you find a really great blog post, instantly a wonderful, interesting, insightful comment pops into your head, and you go to leave the comment but can’t… either because comments are closed or most likely, in my case, you’re required to have a blogger, google or some other type of id to log in with.  It’s irritating, and the blogger loses out on comments because of this… Hmm…  Wonder what’s so wrong with allowing just name/email/url bloggers to comment…

    Thank you Leigh for visiting and commenting. I hope you didn’t have a hard time leaving me comment!

    I can deal with everything else accept for when I have to sign-up to leave a comment. That’s when I am out!

      Nope – didn’t have trouble at all! That’s about when I forgo leaving a comment too, I can’t see signing up for yet another account just to be able to leave comments.

    Hi, stopping by through the June Comment Challenge. I agree with you on your thoughts on this post. I read lots of posts too, but can never think of something witty or thoughtful to comment, and it’s very frustrating when you want to leave one and you can’t. Good luck with the challenge. I am so far behind, it’s not even funny.

      I’m behind too, guess we’ll just have to work extra hard to catch up!

    It was fine to meet you and to read your lovely blog.
    My health situation may prevent me from leaving 1000 comments,
    yet the current Hello! is the hot.

    What matter indeed is not the number of our comments, but the attitude towards each other.
    Welcome to my http://artbytomas.blogspot.com/
    and to all my other blogs.

    • Leigh (525 comments) (Reply) on Tuesday 9, 2009

      So true about our attitudes! We need to support each other as much as possible! Thanks for stopping by!

      It is a lot of comments, I’m so far behind that I doubt I’ll make it, but it’s fun to try and it’s getting me in the habit of trying to think of something to say for nearly every post I read, where as before I only left comments maybe ten times per week.. Glad you enjoy my blog!

    You have an excellent blog, seems the NoFollowBloggers have really helped with comments. Thats how I found you, searching for that. Finding alot of really interesting quality blogs, so thanks.

    • Leigh (525 comments) (Reply) on Tuesday 9, 2009

      Good thing to know that I’m found for that reason. I like the Do Follow blogging, as long as I have a good spam filter activated! Thanks for stopping by!
