So I've been pretty gung-ho on my blog for just over a week now, and I have to admit that it's been pretty fun. At first I was just posting dumb random pictures and writing something about them - now I feel like I have more ideas to talk about. But I'm still not convinced.
See, the thing that bugs me is the fact that if I want to see if someone has commented on one of my posts, then I have to see if there are any new comments. But I have to check every post. What if I have like a thousand posts, and someone randomly commented on one of them. How will I ever know?
Likewise, when I comment on other people's blogs, I have to go back and check to see if anyone has replied to my comment. How am I supposed to remember every single comment I've ever left on every single blog?
I like having conversations with people about topics. So, in that way I love the comment sections, but I don't like how you can't have all of the conversations in one place. This is one of the things I love about Facebook. You don't have to go back and check every comment box or post or blog that you've ever left a comment on. All you have to do is comment to someone and it automatically goes to their profile. And when they reply, it automatically goes to your profile. There is no need to check back on their profile to see if they have responded to your comment.
I think that everyone who blogs would love Facebook. Maybe I'm wrong. It just seems like a lot of the people who blog do it for social networking, and that's just what Facebook is. I promise I don't work for Facebook. Have I said Facebook enough?

You can set up your blog to have every comment emailed to you - for approval or just to know when there is a new one. I do that, just so I don't have to go to my blog every time to check for comments. Just an idea.
It is fun to have your blog to view!
Yes, I do that as well. I don't have to approve them though. I just get e-mailed a copy of every post. If you don't see where to make that change, let me know :)
I just don't look back. I don't normally get comments on my old stuff anyway, and I'm not one to go fishing through somebody's old stuff.
Sounds like you're obsessed with comments and commenting. ;-)
Thanks, I think I've got it now.
hahah...could have fooled me! i'm completely sold on facebook too though! it just works for me. it would be impossible to recheck every comment made...
