<p>This is going to be a steep learning curve for me. It will also make me pay attention to my blog and post more often. I have a real collection of drafts that need more thought and work.</p>
<p>Question 1. How often do I respond to other blogs? Well, it was part of my New Year&#8217;s resolution to comment on blogs and respond more to twitter and stop lurking. So in a week I try to comment on 2 other blogs. No I haven&#8217;t tracked my comments before.  Sometimes I click in the box that sends you follow up comments. I commented on one of Will Richardson&#8217;s posts and got so many follow up comments it was hard to keep up but it was great conversation and I learnt a lot.  I don&#8217;t always comment on the same blogs. I usually follow twitter links and comment on those that interest me.</p>

<p>I do try to stay  on the topic. Quite often I find others have made many relevant and pertinent comments and I can&#8217;t think of anything  to add. Maybe that&#8217;s what I need to improve on.</p>
<p>OK Here goes. Let the fun begin</p>
