Blogger Etiquettes

Lately the trend in the "blogger world" has been changing - at least that is what I perceive in the small microsphere I live in.

People write and write and write for weeks and months and no one really reads them. Then one fine period, the traffic to your site grows tremendously through friends and recommendations and of course some of those posts are just irresistable :P. Then comments flow like ink from a new ballpoint pen. Responses from the Post-er(!) come faster than one can imagine.

But the green days are short-lived. Though comments continue to pour in from the ever supportive commenters, the Post-er stops responding to the comments. Is it a sense of self-accomplishment that goes over the head of the Post-er that makes commenters wait for responses or is it just that they are too busy with their "real life" (which I honestly hope it is)?

As a blogger I decided to create a list of Blogger Etiquettes. If you fit a profile that follows, you are expected to do the corresponding action item:
Do you:
1. write blogs? - Read other blogs.
2. read blogs? - Comment on blogs.
3. write blogs for others to read and comment? - Read and respond to comments.
4. read and comment on blogs for blogger responses? - Wait at least twenty four hours to see response (owing to time difference around the world). Please don't F5 the server to death.
5. read blogs but have no interest in commenting? - Please don't waste your time - do something useful like uh..., like uh.... like not reading blogs.

If you read this and don't perform the action item and don't refer this blog to 100 of your friends within the next 20 micro-seconds, nothing will happen to you.
