My
question is: Do people go back to the blog to read the reply the author of the
post writes about their comment?
If
I were to venture a guess at most people’s answer to this question I would say
that the answer is a blow me away ‘no.’ That’s because I usually don’t go back
to see if the writer thought my comment was witty or made no sense at all. I
just don’t have the time.
There is so much writing, blog reading, social media hopping, and living to do that it’s too much to go back to every blog. There are some ‘special’ blogs that I will always go back to after I’ve written a comment. I will also sometimes check if my comment has been replied when I’m back on that blog for another post, but even this is rare.

Do
you go back to check?
I try to go back and check but I will admit I don't always have the time. I think it's fun to read other people's comments as well :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is, depending on the topic.
DeleteMy blog is connected to my email and it will show me if a back comment has been made. So I can read them on my email. Sometimes I go back to reply.
ReplyDeleteWhat about when you comment on other blogs. Do you go back like Debbie did below to check?
DeleteJust checking, Nana - LOL
ReplyDeletelol. You are such a smart ass. lol still.
DeleteGreat post, Nana! Sometimes I do. But you are so right about the busy world of social media. You'd never get anyting else done if you checkd blogs alll day long for followup comments.
ReplyDeleteIt's true. But one thing I know is that if I leave a comment, and I happen to go back, I want to see that the blogger took the time to reply to my comment.
DeleteSometimes I do check, especially if I asked a question. I generally don't go back though, although I do reply to all the comments I get. I guess I just want people to know that I 'heard' them, if that makes any sense.
ReplyDeleteIt makes total sense. And people who comment want to know that they have been heard.
DeleteNana, I use WordPress and so anytime there is a comment on my blog or in response to other comments I make, a light comes up at the top right corner of my screen to alert me. Yes, I love reading comments and finding out what others think of my comments. There is no point to blogging if you don't visit and comment on blogs.
ReplyDeleteThat's true. Blogging is all about the engagement.
DeleteNana... I try as much as possible to go back to check. As Afua said.. it is part of the blogging business. By the way, very beautiful profile pic.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary. I was at one of my favorite cousin's weddings, so I was almost as happy as the bride.
