		<description>I&#039;ve been slacking a little bit lately on posting comments to other blogs as I&#039;ve been doing more reading through my RSS reader.

But as my work schedule begins to lighten up a little bit, I&#039;m making more of an effort to actually visit other blogs so I can comment.  I&#039;ve got to return the favor to everyone that stops by here and shares their comments.</description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s a good practice to respond to our commentators regularly. Also, when you leave a comment on someone else&#039;s blog,it&#039;s nice to get a specific reply from the administrator!! And definitely boosts the community feeling.</description>

		<description>I respond to whatever comment is appropriate for me to respond to.

I like the idea of thanking the person for leaving a comment if I don&#039;t respond to it on the site.

I might just have to code up something to help it be a bit more efficient.</description>

		<description>The fact that the reader took that time/effort to respond in the first place is why I try to offer a response of my own.

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.</description>

		<description>I try to respond to comments most of the time, in a timely manner, and I find it definitely helps keep readers coming back. 

It&#039;s nice when the author takes some time out of his/her day to respond to you - it makes you feel &quot;special&quot; for lack of a better word :)</description>
