Commenting

With all this great discussion going on in all these blogs I read, and even the comments I get on here (seriously you are all amazing people and make me feel so welcome!) I have been going back and forth with how to reply to people's comments. I never knew (in almost 2 years of having a personal blog) that you could reply in emails for people's comments (if they have their email shown). I don't get email alerts on my other blog so I guess that is why I never knew. I think this is great, but what I don't like is that it doesn't show up on the blog...and then I feel like it looks like I don't respond to my commenters. And believe me, I try to respond! So I comment right here on the blog. But if you are all like me, you can't remember what post you commented on and when in order to see if the poster replied. I want you to know that I am replying to your comments. The only thing I could figure out (again, in almost 2 years of blogging I never realized this until now...) is that after you comment you can hit subscribe by email and it will send you replies. Now the only thing is that anyone that comments will get emailed to you as well. But... once the original poster replies, you can unsubscribe.

So moral of the post... I reply to you. I do. You may not know it though because I do it on the blog. Please subscribe to replies until you see I replied to you and then unsubscribe. Am I late to the party just now figuring this out? Or is there a better solution?

{Side note... sometimes, I will go to the commenter's blog and comment back to them there if they are asking me a question that I am worried they may not see the response to.}

Tomorrow (hopefully) I will have a post with some substance. I am working hard in my classroom today and hope to have it done to show you and to show my word work centers... be on the look out. And don't forget about my giveaway!!
