A question for you...

I have a question about comments. I want to know what you do!

When you visit blogs do you read the comments of the people above you? Do you ever go back to a post and reread the comments made by others after you've made a comment?

I'm just curious! Please leave a comment with your answers for me! Thanks. :)

When I first started using blogger I would go back and check on comments. Other blog applications have the ability to respond to the comments or you're automatically subscribed to them. I found that it got to be cumbersome, and now that I read everything in google reader, once I read it and comment, it's gone. So it's a lot harder to go back and check. I do sometimes subscribe to the comments for a discussion now that blogger has that ability, if I really care a whole lot about the discussion.

Hi, I found your blog via a PCOS search. I hope you don't mind me posting here.

I read the entry of interest and then read the comments to make sure I am not repeating something. Then post. Sometimes if its a subject that interests me I will go back and re-read the comments after mine.

Yes, when I visit a blog I do read the other comments but after I leave my comment. On the 2nd question sometimes I do go back and see what other people wrote but I feel that is between you and the person who wrote it to you. Have a Great rest of the week!!!

I always write my comment first because I don't want to be influenced by other people's comments nor wanting it to sound the same. Then I go back and scan other comments (depending on my time limit).

I don't look at other comments before posting mine. After reading the post, I usually have something in mind and don't want to forget it. But I often go back later and read the other comments.

Bethany,

I will sometimes see other comments and it will make me laugh or I will find it endearing or I will forget what I was going to say!!!!

So I try to comment and then if I have time read some comments.

((hugs)) to you!!

Hummm, I post my comment so I don't loose my train of thought, then I read the other comments before mine.

It varies for me. Depends on the content of the post... depends on the number and or length of comments. Depends on the author.

On a rare occasion I select the button that let's me know that others have left a comment after me. But I normally never return after I have read a post...

I left you a long comment yesterday, but for some reason, it didn't post.??? Anyway, you had asked about a counter to track blog visitors. Go to sitemeter.com, then click on 'manager'. Follow step by step as you go. They offer a free counter. Let me know if you have any problems. I'll be happy to help.
And, yes, I do occasionally read others' comments. (Unless they're too long....like this one). Ha!
