Blogging For Dummies – Check Your Comments

If you are running a high profile blog people will submit comments.

If you don’t act on the comments ie. moderating them so that they get published (or marked as spam) people will get annoyed, frustrated and simply move on.

It doesn’t take that much time to check comments and if you don’t do it why the hell are you even pretending to run a blog? To jump on the web 2.0 fanboy wagon perchance?

  1. Nice blog – like the layout, but where is the personal touch, where are the pages where we get to know the real Michele, the about page, the history page and/or the centerforld page (er wait, scratch that one)
    Downside – this very form doesnt tell me what fields are required 🙂

    I’ll be working on the customisations over the next couple of days.
    It’s high time that I gave it an overhaul, though I’m not sure where to begin ….

  3. More to the point – what’s your point with this post? I there a hidden message within?
    I’m anxious because I long since gave up checking my spam queue for FPs given the volume of crap that goes through that filter. Used to pick stuff out, but simply no time any more 🙁

    If the comment had been aimed at you I’d simply have emailed you instead 🙂
    1 – It was a general thing
    2 – It was aimed at a specific blog that should have been updated and wasn’t. It doesn’t actually matter which blog it was

  5. Some blogs, of course, don’t even allow comments…
    For many, I think blogs are more an evolution of a personal website than a social outlet; comments probably aren’t too high on their priority lists.

  6. Hi Michele
    Hope it wasn’t our blog… but then you’d have given me grief about it already.
    Cheers
