- Should one always acknowledge every individual's comment on posts?
- Is it rude to remove blogs from reading lists if nothing has been posted for a significant period of time, say for example, 3 months? 6? 12?

Blogging etiquette
I know I've been doing this a while (this is my third blog) but there are still a couple of finer points needing clarification, can anyone help?...

Hi Lily
Some people acknowledge comments, some don't. Generally it depends how much energy I have left :) I don't feel slighted if someone doesn't acknowledge a comment.
My reading list tends to reflect places I visit regularly, so I don't think it's rude to remove anything.
Phew, thanks dame hon. I'll blame you then ha ha
1) No
2) No
I think the main rule goes: It's your blog, you can do what you want. Having said that, I always try to say hello to first time commenters, as it seems rude not to. Also if I take someone off my blogroll I feel a little frisson of fear, like I just publically snubbed someone. So as you can see, I have trouble following my own advice. I still think it, though.
:)
Lily - I can only agree with Cheerful One. I try to acknowledge comments but can't always catch up. It's entirely up to you who you have, or have not, on your blogroll! :)
And I do enjoy reading your blog!
Oh wow Cheerful, that's how I felt when I deleted two blogs from my list this week! Just shows what sensitive souls we are!
Thank you so much for the compliment, Tricia - the feeling's mutual!
1) I try to do this myself, even if it's just one single comment with a little message to several commenters (if that makes any sense at all). But your blog, your rules.
2) Since I use Google Reader to check blogs, I only see the blogs with recent posts anyway, so it seems more effort to delete them thatn to just leave them there. I did used to delete people from my list back in the days when I checked every single blog every day just in case they'd posted. But now, it's not an issue.
Thanks anna - I do feel happier replying to comments if I have the time/energy.
