I've enjoyed reading classmate's blogs and responding to them, but haven't really done so on the blogs that I've downloaded to my reader. I definitely feel that you should have something both worthwhile and somewhat original to say. I usually look at the other comments to make sure I'm not the 5th person saying the same thing (BORING !). I look forward to useful feedback and new or different points of view to my posts, so I can definitely see how it might be disheartening to receive no response at all.
I also think it is important to really think about how others might interpret comments. As in any correspondence, it's very easy for the recipient to read a different tone or attitude that was not intended--particularly if you are asking a question or offering a different point of view.

I got your comment! Thanks for leaving it! I see that you are in catch up mode! I was wondering what happened to you! I had to finish because I am going to be going out of town and wanted to be done with everything before I left!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about leaving comments! I feel the same way- its funny- I dont like to read them but I sure like to read ones that people have left for me! This lets me know that I really need to work harder at trying to leave some meaningful comments for others- because I know that they like getting them too!
Good luck! I hope you learn as much as I did!
