I apologize for responding late. I somehow overlooked your very comment. I am happy that you like me coming over to your site and trying to participate. :)Thank you also for coming here and taking the time to thank me [lol], and to show that you like the posts.You bring up an interesting point which I had not thought of before: signatures in comments, the same way signatures on online forums appear. This would be cool, though I think some rules may need to be created, like having only one line of text, no image, etc. Something along those lines would work, as we do not want signatures to be longer than comments, right? Even if signatures are longer than comments, they should blend into the comment nicely, the way a gravatar or your nickname does, since they link to your site also.I will see what can be done. :) Thanks Lee, and I apologize for the late reply.

It is greatly appreciated.I will be making it a point to subscribe to your RSS feed. You have some excellent posts.Being a bit of an internet geek I think a great way of appreciating your readers is allowing them to leave signatures in comments that links back to their site without the nofollow attribute on the link. There is nothing like some "link love" to help show you care about your readers. Bes, I would like to thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. It is greatly appreciated.

Requiring people to login and comment can be good, though that also adds extra time since everyone will have to register and go through the process of setting up usernames and passwords. I have myself in the past sometimes forgotten my train of thought while going through the process of creating an account for some sites for commenting.That was nice of you to let your readers know about the default registration settings. On this very site, for example, comments are usually moderated in the beginning, and if a person already has an approved comment, they can have their future comments published right away without waiting for approval. No problem Vivian. :) Thank you for coming here and taking the time to participate.

As it turned out they didn't even know that they had it setup that way, and were wondering why nobody's leaving comments on their blog.

Thanks for bringing it up inspirationbit [Vivien]! We should always try to visit and participate more on the sites of those who leave us comments. We can also try to help our readers by helping their blogs with suggestions about things they can improve. I am not sure how I missed such an important point.
