Today, I had joined Harriet’s August Comment Challenge. The objective of the challenge is to post at least 1,000 comments on other blogs or about 34 comments per day. I joined a similar contest in April but I wasn’t able to complete the challenge. Trying my luck again.
Speaking of comments, posting one on blog posts is easier said than done. It’s not just reading the post – it’s digesting every bit and pieces and coming up with a share-worthy thought of your own. Except for spam commenters, commenting is not an easy task.
This is the reason why I’m putting up my Top Commenters widget on my sidebar. And yes, it’s in the top-fold too! It’s a sign of gratitude to all my top commenters and for all of you who had been supporting my blog all this time. If you want your gravatar to be shown in the list, start commenting now. Oooops, just no spamming please. I leave all unrelated comments unpublished (the reason why you probably didn’t see your gravatar here despite the number of comments you’ve left in my posts).
And here’s another reason to speak out in this blog via commenting. Since I am joining the August Comment Challenge, I will be needing to visit and read a lot of blogs. I’d like to visit your blog to return the favor. Unless you’d rather stay silent and left unnoticed.
Have a good day everyone!

Yes, indeed. It shows a lot of your sites, three of them to be exact. Happy Monday too!

Thanks for always visiting and commenting on my blog sis. Nasa top ka! 😀
btw, thanks for the mention and linky love. ingat 😉
you’re always welcome. thanks again.
hi sis! pwede pa help , how did you put that Top Commenters widget in your sidebar. Thanks!
hi sis. that’s a wordpress plug-in. what’s your blogging platform?
Just dropped in to say hi, and have a look around the place 🙂 Thanks for coming up with such a cute and memorable name for our newest little guest at the Chipmunk Hotel. I think Spike likes her name too!
I’m glad that Spike likes it. It’s the first word that came to my mind when I first saw her. Thanks for the visit Jennifer.
oh how I wish to be included…..ehhehehe! came here to visit….:)
btw, if you have time hope you can join my 2nd giveaway contest.
Of course you can, you just need to post more comments dhemz. Hehehe. I’ll check out your giveaway later.
Oh, I do agree with you. Commenting is much harder than you think, because you actually have tostop and think for a while and I guess most people nowadays are just too busy and stressed out to be able to do that. 🙁
I came in from the August challenge. It’s my first time attemtimg to do such a challenge so I’m not sure I’ll be able to finish, but at least I’m going to give it a honest try.
Take care, bye bye…
You said it right blanca. It’s really hard considering that most bloggers are busy too. I’m glad you were able to drop by my blog. Good luck to us in this August Challenge thing.
thanks sis.. happy to be part of the list as well.. i wonder why my face is not showing up hehehe..
You need to upload your gravatar in Gravatar.com sis. I spent a lot of time the other day deciphering how to put my badge there too. Hehehe.
Hi! I joined the August Comment Challenge as well 🙂 When I put up my Top EC droppers for July, I wanted to acknowledge my top commenters too. The sad thing is, the top didn’t really make all that many comments 🙁 So hopefully by getting myself to make meaningful comments, others will be encouraged to drop by and participate in my blog too. I hope we get the results we want! and goodluck! 🙂
Yeah, I had noticed that too. Sometimes, it takes more than dropping to say that your visit really counts in a site. Most of my top droppers had never commented in any of my post that’s why I honored my top commenters instead. It takes more effort and time to comment than to drop. Of course, I care about my droppers too. But if they drop, I’ll just drop back on them. If they comment, then I need to comment on their blogs as well.
Good luck to us.
Hi, Gee! That challenge is a wonderful idea. Are only approved comments counted for the 34 blog comments per day?
Hi Sam, I’m not sure. I guess you just have to make sure that you post well-thought of comments so that your comments will be published.
