I love com­ments.  I love read­ing com­ments on oth­ers’ blogs.  I love when some­one com­ments on some­thing I write.  I like leav­ing them, too.  Unfor­tu­nately, I am par­tic­u­larly bad at doing it.  I read most of my blogs in Google Reader.  This makes it harder to com­ment.  It is espe­cially hard when I for­get about them for a few days and the unread posts pile up into the hun­dreds.  I end up skim­ming more than I would like.  I also just find that I feel like I don’t have time to stop and com­ment.  Booo! I know.  Here I am writ­ing about how much I enjoy read­ing what oth­ers have to say, and I give a lame-o excuse for not doing it myself.

I guess I need to do some­thing about it.  Either I need to read fewer blogs (can’t see this hap­pen­ing), or I need to make it a pri­or­ity (that sounds like a great idea, Casey!).  :)   So, those of you whose blogs I read will (hope­fully) be see­ing more com­ments from me in the future!

    I use google reader too and hardly ever make it to the actual blogs to leave com­ments. I have way too many blogs that I “read” and often let them get backed up and end up skim­ming. I did recently unsub­scribe to a few that I *never* read though.

    I switched from Blog­lines to just using the blog­ger dash­board a few months ago. It stops me sav­ing up loads of posts I want to com­ment on and makes me more likely to com­ment at the time.

    I don’t com­ment on blogs as much as I would like to. I neglect my google reader to do other things, like play with Lady­bug, go swim­ming, bake, or play around on Twit­ter. I go through ebbs and flows of want­ing to be a good blog­ger and com­ment on other blogs so that peo­ple will come visit my blog. But it really is all about pri­or­i­ties. Right now I just don’t have the time because other things are more impor­tant. I still love blog­ging, and read­ing blogs, and com­ment­ing, and get­ting com­ments. But days are busy, weeks fly by, and before you know it, another sea­son of life will have passed by.

    Sorry, I’m turn­ing my com­ment into a blog post of its own! Hope you’re hav­ing a great summer!
