To Comment or Not to Comment
I have read some recent blog postings about, “if they don’t allow comments, is it a blog?”
I find it interesting that people want to make a distinction like this. Is it a blog if you can’t comment? Who cares, really? Quite a few people who comment on blogs have their own blogs. If they want to comment on an entry in a blog, why not do so on their own blog?
Link back to Seth or Mark or whoever else you want to disagree or agree with. Put your own ideas and opinions on your own blog.
I personally read the various blogs I do because I want to see what the blogger has to say, not what anybody’s comments are. In fact I think in the past year I have clicked through to see the comments on any blog I read maybe twice.
Am I a professional blogger? Obviously not, first of all I don’t have time and second I want to see what those in my field have to say about the new trends. That’s all, what THEY think, what are their opinions. And I’m not interested in getting into an on-screen discussion about something that is really not going to change the outcome of my life, or even my day.
Then again what do I know? I have a tendency to think for myself.
