		<description>I don&#039;t expect &quot;reward&quot; when I comment in another blog... but it&#039;s true that a visit to my blog or an e-mail from time to time is welcomed!!!!! It&#039;s difficult to comment in all the blogs you visit but it&#039;s true comments make you smile!!!

your blog is lovely and I don&#039;t find strange you receive visits and comments around the world!!!

hugs!</description>

		<description>I leave comments when time allows - when a post has made me laugh, or made me cry - or taught me something new.  I love when people drop by a leave me kind words, and am grateful when they take the time to say hello...but never want anyone to feel obligated to leave a comment.
I really enjoy your blog, and hope to keep coming back day after day!

&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yes, when time allows...I would read more blogs and leave comments. Lately I&#039;ve been swamped with work and can&#039;t be online at home at night so it&#039;s tough. My feed reader is choking.

I am even guilty of not visiting your blog. Sorry for that!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;

		<description>i feel guilty because i haven&#039;t commented on your blog recently!  yikes!  i&#039;ve been fairly busy, though.

i respond to comments infrequently, usually on my blog (because i have blogger and not many people have an e-mail addy i can respond to.)  my answer to your poll was that i don&#039;t expect any kind of response (unless, of course, i ask a direct question) and basically that&#039;s how i handle comments on my site.  if i get lots of love on a post then i generally thank everyone who left a comment, in the comments.  actually, the way comments are done on blogger is a bit lacking, especially compared to other platforms.

anyway, love your blog, am still reading and look forward to your posts each day.  :D

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;No worries at all. I know people comment when they have the time. Even I am guilty of not visiting a few blogs dear to my heart..and my feed reader is choking with feeds waiting to be read! Thanks for participating in the poll.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

		<description>I usually respond to comments to my blog by email. I often wonder if I should comment back to them on my blog, but I am sure few people actually subscribe to a specific post and they will probably never read the commend I leave for them. Email works best. 

Comments are always good!

&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I don&#039;t come back to see if the blogger responded to the comment I left so, yeah, replying by email works best. Thanks for participating in the poll!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;

		<description>I love getting comments too!  They don&#039;t seem to happen as often as most bloggers I know.  It could be that I don&#039;t often update, and when I do, most of the time it&#039;s just photos!

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Well, there&#039;s such thing as &quot;blogging without obligation&quot;...or no pressure blogging. :-)
You can update your blog whenever you like and in the schedule that works out for you. Photos are ok...they speak a thousand words, right?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
