I mean, I can understand that people don't always find the time for blogging but when you comment on a regular basis and even ask questions and you never get a response....then it can be really annoying.

Not one with a whole bunch of rules and that you have to follow a bunch of people.. all of whom I just unfollowed. :) Just one where people post a link to a post of theirs and other people can click through, something simple. :)Snoskredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08934143064049972234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-951341512618456972015-07-15T07:52:17.004+10:002015-07-15T07:52:17.004+10:00I have SUCKED at responding to comments lately, bu...I have SUCKED at responding to comments lately, but I try to make up for it by at least commenting on the blogs of the people who visit me. <br /><br />And I totally hear you on the Link Up thing.

Girl I cannot tell you how mad I get when the "big bloggers" who have thousands of followers and 5 comments on their blogs don't even respond back to you. Like helllllllo can't you find the time to email all 5 of us back in between your one of ten manis for the week??? This post was a GEM!!!

Another thing that annoys me about link-ups is when it's a clearly set topic (not just where you link anything) and I'm going through the links looking at a few and their post is COMPLETELY unrelated and they just wanted to add their link to get views. I'm like, there's some link-up out there that isn't this one where your post would be relevant!

I've tried to get over that and respond, even if it is lame so I'm not one of those bloggers. I try to comment on the blog I link up with, BUT some have multiple people hosting and I don't always get around to all of them. Dude, I mention people sometimes and then don't even DO the linkup because they aren't live when I'm pasting my link so I forget to go back and link up, oops!

I totally agree with you 100% about all of this. Majority of the big bloggers lately don't care to follow or comment back. So when I comment on someones blog a few times and I get nothing in return, I don't return and I unfollow. The whole point in blogging is to interact with people. You can't just have a blog, type up stories and act like your readers are your peasants and they're doing you a favor... it just doesn't work that way. Sorry not sorry! So, I am with ya :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-78097513243330668072015-07-10T05:13:48.084+10:002015-07-10T05:13:48.084+10:00I always try to respond to comments, but sometime ...I always try to respond to comments, but sometime the follow up comments is where I get lost. So if I'm one of those people that have ticked you off, I apologize in advance.<br /><br />My biggest pet peeve has to be commenting and not even getting a response, not a peep from the person. And you've asked them a question. Some people just aren't worth the bother. <br /><br />Hope you have a lovely Friday girl! xoxThe Flynniganshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05877002799914008086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-32468895587061737952015-07-10T02:05:25.608+10:002015-07-10T02:05:25.608+10:00totally agree to all of this. sometimes when i get...totally agree to all of this. sometimes when i get lazy and my inbox gets crazy, i won't respond to 10 emails from the same person, but i'll at least respond to 5 you know?<br />i used to visit EVERY single link on any link up I joined.. which is why i rarely link up to anything anymore because I don't have that kind of time and I wasn't getting anything out of it - like I would comment on all these blogs and get no other visits or responses and I'm like why should this be one sided? That being said, most of the people I follow regularly do the same link ups as me so I guess I do comment on others, I just would have commented anyway lol.<br />someone shamed you? tell me who, i'll beat them up ;)Kristen @ See You In A Porridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592108031437491276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-79058953389644026602015-07-10T00:58:53.188+10:002015-07-10T00:58:53.188+10:00I admit that I'm not the best at always respon...I admit that I'm not the best at always responding to comments but if I don't respond, I will at least go to your blog and reciprocate. It's common courtesy. As is linking to the host of a linkup. I can't stand when people don't do that. <br /><br />As for the person who gave you suggestions about how you should blog? I hope you gave them the suggestion to kindly go fuck themselves and stop reading your blog if they have a problem with it.Jana @ Jana Sayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501814243709445827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-30514225190751897062015-07-10T00:52:38.642+10:002015-07-10T00:52:38.642+10:00I have stopped following several blogs, because I ...I have stopped following several blogs, because I would leave comments and never get a response back, so I was like 'Welp...I'm not needed here.' One of the best parts of blogging is the interacting part and it not being a one way action. Lol what blogger rules did that person think everyone should go by? There are no rules here.

I've commented on a couple blogs several times and never heard anything and that is a complete turn off to me. My biggest pet peeve is when someone hosts a link up and they don't comment or thank you for taking part. To me, that's equivalent to hosting a party and ignoring your guests.

But I love my peeps, I can't remember any single comment ending with just one response...I'm a chatty person and often end up with full email strings back and forth with some people depending on the post subject. The no-reply commenters, I try my best to track them down and forward the convo to them. <br />I've considered jumping into a hop again, it has been several months, but it takes work and work was getting in the way of me doing my part of reading and commenting on others. But I do miss finding new blogs and friends.<br />Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09404139014859432084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-48727472774490094152015-07-09T23:05:58.879+10:002015-07-09T23:05:58.879+10:00People can go fuck themselves because I have my ow...People can go fuck themselves because I have my own rules. I do try to be courteous - if I link up, I link back to the host and I comment on the host's blog. I also try to visit and comment on three other blogs who have linked up.<br /><br />I hate Disqus comments because I don't like having a conversation out in front of a million people. I also dislike having to go back to a blog to comment again. If I can reply via an email, fine. <br /><br />I'm a few days behind on my comments recently. I need to get my shit together.

But that is how I do things and I'm not expecting everyone else to be the same. :) <br /><br />I followed your links to the blog hop, I linked up as well, and I did not see one single click through to my blog from it as yet. It might turn out that people link up and revisit it later in the week or on the weekend when they have more time.. even me, I actually put the link up aside yesterday to go back and click through to all the posts when I had some spare time later in the day but I never ended up getting back to it. I'm going to try and fit it in today. <br /><br />For me, a blog hop is mostly useful to find new blogs for me to read. I rarely find new readers via them. :)<br /><br />Anyway I enjoy your blog, and I might find a couple of new blogs from that blog hop, we'll see. :)Snoskredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08934143064049972234noreply@blogger.com
