How many times have you posted your blog to a link up and just done the old “link and run”? I know I am guilty of this and I’m sure some of you are, too! And have you ever done that and then wondered why no one from that hop commented on your post either? I know I have done this and gotten upset and then realized, oh wait, I didn’t comment on anyone’s post from this hop either!
Think about the personal thought you put into your blog posts. Each blog post represents you and it can be disheartening when no one comments, even if they are reading! As much time as I spend reading and looking at blogs, I have to say I don’t always take the time to comment on the post! To let the writer know, hey I stopped by and I liked what you have to say!
Think about the time you spend crafting your blog posts. Then, think about all the other bloggers out there that spend that much time on theirs as well! That’s a lot of time blogging and I think it’s good we recognize that and show each other some support!
I know, we are all busy people- we don’t just spend our time blogging but also have jobs, families to take care of, laundry etc! But, what if we each took a few minutes every day to comment on at least 5 other blogs? Sharing the blog love and community is what it’s all about! If we all committed to this, then everyone would feel the love on their blogs. Maybe I sound like an idealist here, but I think it would work!
Let’s start today! Link up your blog post below- any post you would like! The only catch? You must promise to comment on a least 5 other blogs from this hop! I am going to do this Comment Promise Hop once a month to help spread some comment love! Will you take the Comment Promise?
<div align="center"><a href="http://cantgoogleeverything.blogspot.com" title="Comment Promise Hop"><img src="http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz178/rachelblate/commentpromisebutton_zps2b4716a8.jpg" alt="Comment Promise Hop" style="border:none;" /></a></div>
Help share this hop by taking a button for your sidebar! The more people that link up, the more comment love that can be shared!
Let’s connect!
I love this hop!! I'm guilty of the link & leave…sometimes, it's all I can do to get my posts written & posted! I'm ready to spread some comment love though!
I think we are all guilty of it at some point! I noticed you linked up your blog and not a specific post- do you want a certain post or just any post is ok for people to comment? If you want to change it send me the link and I can change it for you! ๐
Such a great idea! Will have to come back and comment later, we have a crazy day today!
What a great idea! I know I am definitely guilty of this. I get in the habit of commenting on the same blogs and don't always visit many others who are also linked up!
Great idea! Going to check out some blogs and comment : )
Love this idea! Can't wait to check out a few new blogs when I get back from the park with the kids!
This is such a great idea! i've been thinking about this a lot lately. Thanks so much for hosting!
I need to find what post I'd like to link up. I always try and comment on everybody's blog posts in a hop as I figure it's the best way to see somebody's blog. The only time I don't is if they didn't link what they were supposed to (such as to the blog instead of to a direct post) because then I don't think it stays in the nature of the hop.
A pleasure to link up!
Have a great day,

I try to click on AT LEAST the two people right before me. And then I try to comment on one of them. Sometimes I have nothing to say! But you're right – I definitely get bummed when I see that X number of people saw it but no one said anything!
This is a nice idea, a nice way to kick us in the pants a little. ๐
Great point! Thanks for pointing that out…such a smartie pants!
What a GREAT idea! Following you now on Bloglovin ๐
