I Wonder?
| I found myself wondering about blog comments today. Why? Because we all, or at leDast most of us enjoy getting comments on our blog entries; at least positive comments. It's nice to get likes as well, but hearing positive comments is always better. With that said, you may wonder if I leave comments for the blogs I read. Not always. Why? Sometimes it's an issue with time, I'm rushed and don't have time to comment, so I click like and get on with what's pressing. Other times I just can't think of anything to comment. On rare occasions, I disagree with the blog and don't have anything positive to say. But, even then I'll click a like simply because the author took the time to blog. the old adage, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." Today I wondered if awarding gift points for comments would increase the number of comments a person received on their blog. At first, I thought this would be a great idea, after all, most of us want more gift points, and it would be a great motivator. Especially if the GPs were provided through Writing.Com Support   . But after a bit of thought, I decided it would not be a good idea. Why?Because there are always those who try to cheat the system. It would in many cases motivate us to take a few minutes to comment on the blog honestly after reading it. But there are also those who would just post a generic comment without even reading a word. In fact, I suspect some would log in to the blogs and just pick some randomly, not read them, and post a short, simple, and meaningless comment just to get free GPs. So how can we get more comments on our blogs? Maybe by just taking the time to write meaningful comments on other blogs. I think I'll give this a try and see if it works. |

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?"
"Writing is my passion."
