Are you a blogger? Do you love comments? Comments are the currency of the blogosphere. I don’t know of a blogger who doesn’t crave them.

Are you a blog reader? Do you “lurk” around your favorite blogs, remaining anonymous? Or, are you afraid to comment? If you’re just not sure about the whole commenting thing, let me offer some food for thought…

1. Commenting is easy.
2. You dont have to “sign up” or register for anything to comment.
3. You will make a blogger’s day with a simple, heartfelt comment.
4. You don’t have to write an eloquent prose…say something simple like, “Thank you for sharing your thoughts”, or “I completely agree with you on that”, or “No, those jeans don’t make your bootie look big”…
5. Commenting is a great way to connect with other bloggers.
6. Commenting is a great way to attract visitors to your own blog (but don’t be tacky…try to say something meaningful…don’t just leave a link).
7. Many blogger respond to their comments (or they should if possible). If you have a question or something to add to the conversation, you might just be surprised and get a response from the blogger. Give it a try!

So don’t be afraid to comment. It wont hurt, I promise.

I was looking for a little button to encourage my readers to leave a comment and couldn’t find anything, so I made my own! If you’d like to give your readers a little nudge, feel free to use one!
