1,000 Comments Challenge

March 2, 2010

Can you leave 1,000 com­ments this month? Though the but­ton says leave me com­ments it is actu­ally myself who will be leav­ing the com­ments, 1,000 of them over the month of March.
Sign up on the blog, Har­riet and Friends.
The only down­side is keep­ing track of how many com­ments you make. If you know of a way […]

A Comment a Day

December 3, 2009

Every­one can leave one com­ment in one blog each day. Pretty sim­ple. If you were away you can catch up by doing an extra com­ment the next day. No stress. Just one sin­cere and inter­est­ing com­ment per day. No prob­lem. Pick any blog you like. A blog you have been read­ing awhile or one you […]

Do You Shut Down Comments on Old Posts?

November 12, 2009

Do you have your com­ment spam fil­ter set to auto­mat­i­cally delete any com­ments on older posts? While this will get rid of a lot of spam for you it also could delete some real com­ments.
We have posts in our archives which we leave for any­one to find, through search­ing or through links on other sites. […]

Trends in Comment Spam

November 8, 2009

If I pub­lished all my spam com­ments right now I’d prob­a­bly be arrested for drug traf­fick­ing. Not so long ago all the spam com­ments were for casi­nos and poker sites. Before that they were adult site ads. Things have changed. I think those are the three main crim­i­nal activ­i­ties cov­ered now? Am I for­get­ting something? […]

Give a Link Even if you Don’t have a Blog

October 21, 2009

These days we assume peo­ple have a blog, not every­one does how­ever. Or, some might not want to leave a link to their blog for what­ever rea­son. (For instance, some­one writ­ing adult con­tent might not want to have that link rep­re­sent them when they are just shar­ing gen­eral infor­ma­tion with oth­ers).
If you are leav­ing comments […]

The Awful Silence of Blogging

October 18, 2009

Many years ago I started a newslet­ter for writ­ers online. I called it InkSplat­ters. It ran on the site that is now Yahoo Groups. (Does any­one remem­ber when it was Yahoo Clubs for awhile and some­thing else not even part of Yahoo before that?) The newslet­ter began as a spin off from a site my […]

First Commenter Club

September 29, 2009

First Com­menter Club — I’m not clear on how it works really. Some­thing to do with using Linkies. If some­one knows tell me about it. I’ve read the site and I must be miss­ing. In some odd way it’s just not click­ing for me. It’s funny how some­times you think too much about some­thing that […]

Have You Disabled Comments?

September 3, 2009

This topic (choos­ing to dis­able com­ments on your blog) came up on CMF forums from Ben Bar­den.
I blogged with­out allow­ing com­ments for a cou­ple of years. I was just writ­ing for myself. The blog was just for me to jour­nal, cre­ate back­grounds and play with code. I knew I had some read­ers, some of […]

Be a Better Blog Commenter

August 1, 2009

Say some­thing rel­e­vant to the post itself. Come up with a com­ment more inter­est­ing than “I agree” or “Me too”. It’s not that tough to stretch out a thought beyond two words. Why do you agree with the post? What was your own expe­ri­ence? Most blog com­ments are on the short side. Find a bit […]

Mad Barking Dogs on Blogs

July 4, 2009

It’s almost like some peo­ple don’t want you to com­ment on their blog or site at all. When they ask you to reg­is­ter, that’s a big red flag wav­ing at me right away. You want me to hand over my email address before I even know if I like your site? I just wanted to […]

Petty Revenge for Annoying Word Verification

May 26, 2009

I really don’t like word ver­i­fi­ca­tion, in case you didn’t already know this about me. So, just this after­noon I have come up with a plan!
I wrote a com­ment to a blog which uses word ver­i­fi­ca­tion. At the end of my com­ment I typed:
Your word ver­i­fi­ca­tion is scoff. Just let­ting you know since you have the […]

The Dullness of Comment Spam

May 4, 2009

Why can’t com­ment spam­mers come up with some­thing more inter­est­ing? I check my com­ment spam often, look­ing for some­thing out of the ordi­nary and I’m dis­ap­pointed. It’s all the usual sell­ing drugs, offer­ing to grow a penis I don’t have, and money laun­der­ing schemes from Nige­ria. It’s over done, been there, got the T-shirt kind […]

Annoyingly Subject to Word Verification

April 21, 2009

I can’t read your word ver­i­fi­ca­tion. Likely this com­ment won’t get posted which is annoy­ing after I took the time to type it.
How many peo­ple do you annoy by using word ver­i­fi­ca­tion (of any kind) on your blog read­ers? How many com­ments have not even been made just because you demand they type an annoy­ing code […]

Don’t Reply to Every Comment

February 18, 2009

I know this goes against what you have been told from “Bet­ter Blog­gers”. But, take a moment and think about this…
How many times have you come to a blog, read a post or three and left a com­ment on one of them. How many times have you gone back to that blog to read any reply […]
