If you don't want to deal with comments just turn them off.

It may be hard for him to read them all, let alone reply. I think the difference must be the volume of visitors he gets. It may be hard for him to read them all, let alone reply.

If you don't comment on your own blog, how would you reply to those that do comment? I suppose you could email them back (if they left a valid email address), but then your reply wouldn't be seen by others looking at the post. The reply not only could benefit the comment you are replying to, but also future readers. I think it has similarities to a forum post. People reply all the time to their own post on a forum...why should a blog be different? Just my 2 cents... I agree with you Mark…

Do you comment on your own blog?

Filed under: — Mark @ 8:21 am

I noticed a post on Chris Pirillo’s blog on which some idiot posing as Chris had posted their acrimonious message as a comment and Chris had to clarify himself and his position on another post. I frequently comment on my own blog in reply to questions and such. I think it is a necessity and very useful at times. Chris contends that he never, ever posts comments on his blog. Is that justified?
