The only exception to this is if I only skimmed through the blog. When I've found a nice post that I was happy to read, I think it's only fair to say something.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00456068019298922261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-81067810263250346412010-06-09T12:05:39.184-04:002010-06-09T12:05:39.184-04:00Kathleen,

I especially like that I can list the roll according to most current posts. I try to comment every time I visit, but sometimes I don't for various reasons--and sometimes I leave several comments in a day! I hate that I miss more than I hit! :(Sandra Heska Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770393615748405966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-75072898682178794822010-06-06T22:02:03.096-04:002010-06-06T22:02:03.096-04:00Oh Karen, you're such a faithful visitor; and ...Oh Karen, you're such a faithful visitor; and I LOVE your comments! Normally I leave comments when I visit a blog, but sometimes I just drop in and scan, staying longer if there's something that grips my attention. 90% of time I comment on those posts.<br /><br />Since I've developed a fondness for a number of blog sites I've begun to have difficulty getting around to all of them, especially now that my time is spread across a variety of move-related projects. I hope once I'm re-settled I can re-establish my visiting & commenting regimen. <br /><br />Blessings, <br />KathleenKathleen https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-37999584220894841172010-06-06T16:15:36.065-04:002010-06-06T16:15:36.065-04:00Linda,

I try to visit all bloggers who comment on my posts, then add a few visits to other blog followers who rarely visit, if I have extra time. <br /><br />I've found it impossible to keep up with all the blogs I follow, so I put those who comment on my blog at the top of my list. <br /><br />Pleae enter me in your contest. I am a follower, and proud of it!<br /><br />Thanks for your generosity, <br />Jen<br />jeanettelevellie(at)gmail(dot)comJeanette Levelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12898750484193832082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-68683187465379746962010-06-06T11:12:39.743-04:002010-06-06T11:12:39.743-04:00I pretty much follow your commenting routine.

Most of my readers get the posts in their email boxes and rarely leave a comment, though they'll often comment to me in person! <br />As for leaving comments, I do try because I know how much I appreciate them. Time constraints sometimes limit me, but commenting with other bloggers is how to develop a community. <br />SusanNorth Jersey Christian Writers Grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03981039468686243008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-16020529684837892682010-06-05T12:56:23.693-04:002010-06-05T12:56:23.693-04:00You could have written this post for me and been p...You could have written this post for me and been pretty spot on as to how I handle my blogging. If I visit a blog I will leave a comment 90% of the time. If I don't it's for the reasons you gave or I just don't like what the blogger is saying and I don't feel like saying anything about it.<br /><br />I spend way too much time on blogging these days and still can't get to all of the blogs that I would like to. <br /><br />Good post.
