Thankful Thursday: Your Comments

I first want to give a BIG THANK YOU to all 20 of my followers (well at least it was 20 before he Google Gone Wild fiasco. #20 I know you're out there somewhere. COME BACK!)! It may not seem like a lot to those of you who have 100+ followers, but I am super excited about having 20. So thank you for your continued support.

On to the comments.........This is my response to last Saturday's Comment Replies post. Thank you all for your insight into comment etiquette. I got varying comments that encompassed all 4 of my comment reply options. Based on my evaluation of your comments I've decided on the following rules for myself:

1. When I get a large number of comments that have questions and topics that warrant the continuation of a conversation (such as in this post), I will write a new post to answer questions and continue the conversation.
2. When people ask me individual questions, I will respond via email or through commenting on their blog.
3. I will not reply to comments in the comment section of my own post because it seems like people aren't really coming back to check.

Thanks again for all of your ideas and expertise. I love bouncing things off of my bloggy buddies. You guys rock!

Comment Replies

Okay blogsperts......I have a burning question. Often times when people comment they ask questions about something said in a post. There are several ways to go about replying to the questions:
1. Send an email to the person.
2. Answer the question in a comment you leave on the questioner's blog.
3. Leave a comment on your own blog answering any questions that were posed.
4. Write a new post answering questions.

I normally do number 1 or 2 (heads out of the gutter folks). I see a lot of people doing number 2, but do you all really go back to see if someone answered your question in their comments? I go back and check sometimes. What are your thoughts? Is there some sort of blog etiquette I'm suppose to follow? Please help!
