I like subscribing to posts, but I really hate subscribing to comments, but it's either that or I have to go back and see if they've responded, which feels like a big hassle. It's not that I don't want to go back to their blog--I just don't want to have to click back through the post just to see if they've replied to my earlier comment.

Even though I will reply directly in the comment form if their email isn't linked, I would rather not because a) it's honestly easier for me to respond through email and b) sometimes the comment is more personal in nature and I would rather just have it between me and the reader.<br /><br />P.S. In response to some of the other comments on this post, any time someone new comments on my blog, I ALWAYS take the time to visit and comment on their blog as well. I think that's the courteous thing to do, and I've met some really great bloggers that way!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202774097017774432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338163690629804683.post-91375983547669513112013-04-05T05:25:27.397-06:002013-04-05T05:25:27.397-06:00Lost my first response.

I did feel bad about your Grandpa post because that was personal. <br /><br />Of course I know you want to visit other blogs. :-) <br /><br />We just have one email at our house, so it's clogged up as is.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338163690629804683.post-39237552955668498412013-04-04T18:57:40.211-06:002013-04-04T18:57:40.211-06:00Oh, Susie!

I think it's only fair that if someone took the time to visit my blog, I should go visit theirs. I don't make it over every day, but I do try to read my followers' blogs at least three times a week.<br /><br />The main reason I like having people link their accounts to their email addresses is because it allows me to respond personally (like saying thank you to those who left thoughtful comments about my grandpa's passing). Sometimes I feel weird leaving a personal comment on someone else's blog that has nothing to do with what they blogged about. Anyway, thank you for your comment, and please know that I enjoy reading your blog and admiring your dry wit. :)Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09130109003343527862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338163690629804683.post-46964377891559474442013-04-04T13:31:13.287-06:002013-04-04T13:31:13.287-06:00I reply to comments on my blog using threaded comm...I reply to comments on my blog using threaded comments. I want people to see the conversation all in one place. If I ask a question on someone's blog, I'll go back and check that blog. I only follow about twenty something blogs, so it's not a big deal. It seems that the people I follow are doing the same. I really don't like email very much. (The telephone is worse.)<br /><br />So you don't have to stop by my blog anymore unless you want to, since I check back. :-) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338163690629804683.post-51709232521308677852013-04-03T19:47:28.092-06:002013-04-03T19:47:28.092-06:00While I completely understand your points, I admit...While I completely understand your points, I admit, I hateeee being a reply-blogger. I find that my readership goes down by a HUGE amount. I feel such pressure and bloggers are so MEAN when I'm no-reply blogger. My email is all over my blog, if an email is legitimately warranted. I find this to rarely be the case.<br />Instead of stopping by my blog and leaving a comment, just like I did for them, I get an email thanking me for the comment. Everyone is thankful for the comment/visit, and I get it's good manners, but I don't see the need for it. <br /><br />I find the bloggers that pressure us to make sure emails are shown rarely stop by my blog. The blog I work SO hard on, from 8-12 every night, doesn't get a view from them. I see this email response as a waste of time on both sides. Unless I ask a question, or it's something personal, I never expect a response. I don't write my blog for the heck of it, I write it to help others. I know beauty isn't exactly changing the world, but I know people have learned something that might help them. Now if only they would stop by! ;)<br />Elle Seeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01700861489513811406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338163690629804683.post-28827404383737216952013-04-03T18:34:16.328-06:002013-04-03T18:34:16.328-06:00Done!
