I've said it before and didn't follow through so I'm not making any promises, but I'm at least going to consider posting here more often. I'm commenting more often than posting (so far), and wanted to share this post I saw from

mrs_d about comments in case some of the people who migrate from Tumblr aren't used to interacting in this sort of space.

I welcome all of the following types of comments on any of my entries:

+ Single or two word comments.
+ "+1" or Facebook style "like".
+ Otherwise brief comments, e.g. single sentences.
+ A comment that is a punctuation mark(s) to let me know you read, e.g. a period, an asterisk.
+ A comment that is a punctuation mark(s) to express your response, e.g. an exclamation mark or question mark.
+ A comment that is an emoticon(s) to express your response.
+ Long, wordy comments. Rambling is totally okay.
+ Comments and links on related topics.
+ Comments on single links, entities, paragraphs, topics, or words in the entry.
+ Sequential commentary. It's totally okay to comment about one thing as you read it, then another thing in a separate comment, then a third thing.
+ Incoherent comments. I would rather have you here and showing interest, even if it's just a *flail*, than for you to stay silent because you are afraid or unable to get the perfect comment out.
+ Talking amongst yourselves in the comments is fine. I like creating a place where people get to interact!

I also welcome:

+ Comments on old entries.
+ Comments from people who are not subscribed to me.
+ Comments from people who I’ve never met.
+ Comments from people who haven’t talked to me in awhile.
+ Comments from people who’ve never talked to me.
+ I like knowing the provenance of new commenters. If you're new, I'd love to know where you came from and what brought you here.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I am sooooo glad you're here. :)

I would love it if you posted more! <3

OMG are you going to respond to every comment with a gif of a beautiful Star Wars cast member?! EEE!

*posts with the icon of the drawing I did of you*

BWEE. Dance John Dance!

Though THAT wasn't the drawing I meant. THIS icon is the drawing I meant.

So pretty! BTW the dancer postcard you sent me is on my office wall right in my eye line so I see it all the time when I'm at work!

at least commenting is easier than it was in the old days, when you had to go to a whole separate page? i dunno. this is my first day off since november and i have to be up early to go see a doc so i have no brain and my cat just horked a hairball (i swear i'm gonna start calling them hairturds because it's more accurate) and ugh what was i saying?
