Writing Talk: September Commenters
Posted on 03 October 2007 by Sharon
Jeanne Dininni on Writer’s Notes had the idea of thanking the people who had commented on her blog, and giving some link love. This seems like a great idea, so I’ve pinched it. Your comments mean a lot to me and I enjoy discussing posts with you, so I’d like to say thank you to all those who stopped by and left a comment (some several times) in September:
Allen Taylor
Dana Prince
Jossy Peace
Angie
Nikki Leigh
Mirella

Writing Frump
Courtney
Laura
Amanda Evans
Terry Heath

Glenn Abel
Lillie Ammann
Pervara Kapadia

If you left a comment and your name’s not on this list, blame it on my coding skills and let me know so I can add you to the list. Thanks again.

What a wonderful idea! I think I’ll do the same this week.
Everyone loves link love

We sure do, Dana - just paying it forward.

Great idea. I’ve installed a WordPress plugin that does something similar, top commentators get a link in my sidebar with it.

Sharon,
Thanks so much for the credit–and the link! I wish I COULD claim credit for the idea, but I didn’t actually originate it. So I want to give credit where credit is due! I got this wonderful idea from Mark at ProBloggers Matrix in his post, “How Do You REWARD Your COMMENTERS and Those Who Have BACKLINKED to Your Blog?” which can be found at http://www.probloggersmatrix.com/how-do-you-reward-your-commenters-and-those-who-have-backlinked-to-your-blog/.
Thanks again!

Is that the Comment Relish plugin, Terry? I’ve heard of it, but haven’t yet tried it.

Thanks for the link, Jeanne. I’m still grateful to you for giving me the idea.

How nice! This is a wonderful way to reward your commentators.
Thank you so much.

Sharon,
Happy to pass it on! After all, that’s one important aspect of being part of the blogging community: scouring the internet for great ideas and sharing the information we find with our readers and fellow bloggers–as you yourself are already doing!
Cheers!

Aww, thanks for the link love, Sharon.
This is a fantastic idea! I think I’ll add a day each month to give a little link love to my comment-leavers as well. Perhaps it will encourage more readers to comment.

When I saw Jeanne’s post, I certainly thought about visiting her blog more often. In fact, I subscribed to the feed. I’ve noticed a couple of other people doing something similar with the plugin that Terry mentioned.

Thanks for the mention, Sharon. You always post content that is worth a comment.

How neat! I am going to steal this idea.

@Lillie - Thanks, Lillie. Your blog is interesting, too.
@Courtney - please do - it’s a great one to pass on to others.
