My Bad - a confession
The other day my sister sent me Somerset Studio's Artful Blogging visually inspiring online journals magazine. They had some wonderfull online bloggers showcased. OK the truth is that I looked at all the pictures, read a few things here and there. But, now onto my confession. There was a section called Blogging Etiquette which had some dos and don'ts when you blog. The biggie that smacked me in the face was "Respond to people who leave comments on your blog, either in e-mail or by visiting their blog". Dang I didn't know that! When I received a comment I would hit reply, of course, it would not let me reply so I figured I was notsupposed to reply. "My bad" (I think that is the current lingo for oops I screwed up) I should have replied to the commentor anyway. That works if I have you in my address list, but does anyone know what to do if you are not in my address book? I don't want to be kicked out of the blogging community or labeled a bogger.

I read that too. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to reply or not. Now I know. But are we supposed to reply to replies too? When does it end?
Susan, I don't know. Maybe we end up traveling down the yellow brick road and end up in Oz with all the other bloggers. Having a thank you party. Thank you, no thank you, thank you for the thank you. Oh, I'm so confused.
OK, when you click on "comments" (I mean from the page the public sees, not your dashboard area) you will see that the commentor's name is highlighted in blue... click on their name, and it will take you to their blog.
And yes it is incredibly rude to never return the commenting favor, so you'll have to come comment on mine now LOL
It is not necessary at all to say "thanks for visiting my blog" (and in fact that's how you can spot the newbies); just make a comment on one of their posts :)
Giggle...one reply is good enough...and if you can't get to the people by email...I post a reply on my blog.
I loved what you did with the sweatshirt by the way...at first I thought there was a snake coming across the front.
All is forgiven...move on! : )
No need reply! Grin
