This discussion accompanies lesson six of the mum blogger e-course – blog etiquette & commenting.

One of the questions that has come up regarding commenting is whether as a blog writer you should reply to every comment left on your blog.

Some bloggers I know respond to every comment, others reply to some and yet others never add comment replies.

If you’re an established blogger what do you do and why.

If you’re new to blogging what are your thoughts.

As a commenter do you like a response or doesn’t it bother you.

Leave comments below and discuss…

I respond to comments if I have something to say, I don’t answer every comment. Sometimes I don’t feel I have anything to add so I’m comfortable not commenting as I wouldn’t leave a comment on someonelse’s blog if I had nothing to say.

I’ve done a few courses on blogging and related media now, the most recent one I’ve been doing is with Caroline Middlebrook who is based in the UK.

The course is called the Bloggers Bible and is delivered via email. The course is split into 49 units and you receive one unit per week. This course is ideal for the beginner and intermediate blogger, all of the content I’ve received so far was covered in Yaro’s course however that was a paid thing so I think this is a good deal, free is always good

Caroline includes general lessons in blogging as well as more techincal advice, each ‘lesson’ has actionable content that will help you to become more proficient at the technical side of blogging as well as grow your audience.
