But as my work schedule begins to lighten up a little bit, I'm making more of an effort to actually visit other blogs so I can comment. I've got to return the favor to everyone that stops by here and shares their comments.

Also, when you leave a comment on someone else's blog,it's nice to get a specific reply from the administrator!! And definitely boosts the community feeling.

I like the idea of thanking the person for leaving a comment if I don't respond to it on the site. I might just have to code up something to help it be a bit more efficient.

As Cheng Leng mentioned above, an alternative is to send an email to the commenter to thank them if a response may not be warranted on the post. I really like that idea.

It's nice when the author takes some time out of his/her day to respond to you - it makes you feel "special" for lack of a better word :) I try to respond to comments most of the time, in a timely manner, and I find it definitely helps keep readers coming back.
