I must admit, that I have started to see the “Bloggers Commenting Back” bubble popping up on the bookish blogs that I am visiting lately, but I haven’t had the pleasure of sorting out the source of the originating blog nor the full meaning behind it! Turns out, this a pledge to not only acknowledge those who comment on YOUR BLOG but to visit the COMMENTER’s BLOG in return! I have already implemented this pledge on my own merit in regards to making sure that not too much time goes by before I reply to a comment on my blog! Sometimes it draws out to a lengthy conversation (which I love!) and sometimes its just a ‘quick note’ back to let the person who dropped by know that I appreciated their stopping on my blog!
I am a blogger who encourages comments to populate her blog, as much as I am a blog reader who loves to leave comments for other bloggers! This is something that I have always done, but I must confess, I am not sure if I have always done the other ‘half’ of this pledge, which is why I will make an effort to remember to do this! There are times where a blogger visiting my blog came over from a conversation that started on ‘their blog’ originally, and then we’re hopping to each others’ whilst continuing the conversation! Laughs. I always smile rather happily when that happens! I think this is a lovely bookish (blog) community event where all bloggers who hope to find conversative people to alight on their posts will now have a clever way of seeing which blog & blogger is happily taking part in this even! I put the badge in my sidebar underneath “Stay Connected” because the merit of this pledge fits that perfectly!
I, Jorie, of Jorie Loves A Story, personally pledge to continue to be excited and enthused to reply to each and every comment that comes to rest on JLAS!
I will always attempt to leave a direct reply within hours of its posting, barring any life event that might take me away from doing so! IF I am delayed in replying straight-away, a reply will surely come, so please have patience in me! I will remember to visit the blogs of those who leave me a comment as a way to show gratitude and thankfulness that they dropped by! In the event a blog has a comment section that I cannot leave a comment on, I have already implemented writing that blogger via PM!
Remember, if you want to take the pledge yourself, please visit the Pledge Sign-Up Page, as this is hosted directly by Readers Wonderland! In the interim,
I look forward to your next comment!
