When I first started reading blogs, and then started my own, I did not know there were do's and don'ts. Of course it makes sense now, but I had to learn by reading other people's blogs. I learned that if you visit a blog it is rude to "lurk" and you should leave a comment ( just learned that ). If someone lists your blog on their blog you should return the favor? (unclear about that one). If someone visits your blog and leaves a comment, then you should visit theirs and leave a comment as well. Have a missed any, if so please post them in the comment section! Thanks, oxxo, Becs
p.s. THANKS TO ALL WHO LEFT COMMENTS ON THE S. PALIN POST!!!

I list everyone who comments on my blog roll, but I don't think that is necessarily the norm. I do it because I like to follow up with people who take the time to read my blog.
Does that make sense? I do take people off if they don't post for 4 weeks. I figure they are quitting at that point.
I list people who comment but like Mrs. Newlywed said this may not be the norm. I sometimes don't comment the first few times because I can be a bit shy:-)
Thanks for checking out my blog! You motivated me to do a post!
I see that you and I have something in common-9/11 wedding anniversary. I like to think of it as a day that I remember people that I knew who were lost that day. I try to remember them with the happiness and joy they brought to their friends and families.
I am new to blogging- perhaps a blog etiquette book is called for.
Hi, I definitely agree with the lurking thing...it's polite to let someone know if you stopped by (why I'm commenting!), especially if you plan to it regularly.
I personally don't list everyone who comments, but I have a running list of the ones that I check back on...
I'm with you: It's all a little confusing.
I love people to stop by and say hi, but I'm ok with what people call lurking. Sometimes I just don't have the energy to cough up a comment when I'm reading blogs. And sometimes I really disagree with what I read or think it's sort of stupid, and so I don't comment then either. What I think is really wrong is saying something unkind on someone's blog. I believe in speaking one's mind but when you visit a blog, you're a guest. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything.
Thanks for visiting me at my blog! I'll add you to my reading list!
Thanks for the comments! Bumper sticker is from this site http://www.cafepress.com/shirtosphere.302622420 They have a lot of fun stuff and great color combos.
I confess to being caught out as a lurker. I've enjoyed your blog.
I wish that everyone who was interested enough to read would comment, but I can see that most people do not comment. I think some people are serial lurkers! It's okay, though.
I do feel obliged to add to my blogroll others who have added me to their blogroll. Bunny taught me that!
I seriously HATE putting anything political on my blog, but oh, well. I want to edit it and remove a couple of comments that are partial to one side, but when I tried that it made the whole post gargantuan size! Arrrgh! I'll prob end up deleting it!
I just found your blog. Loved your Palin post.
I'm sort of new to blogging and have found your etiquette guidelines are pretty much how I operate.
hmm...yes I am unclear on the etiquette as well....I hope I haven't been lurking...I try to put peoples' blogs on my site when I do visit. sometimes, however, I might not have a comment to put....hmm... :)
I am so bad at all of these etiquette rules. I try my best!
Also, sometime I do not have anything to say.
i just found your blog today! i won't lurk, so here's a hello! also, i like you politics!
First time lurker...I'm enjoying your blog (especially after tonight's final debate and seeing that Fox News don't have much to spit on Obama about tonight)!
No, you don't have to visit my blog and leave a comment...it's all good!
