I plan for that to never ever happen. Most of the time I comment on another blog, it's a one-shot and a conversation never develops. If I want to ask something of the original author, or start a conversation, a blog comment really isn't the best way to go either. There's no guarantee they will notice it, especially on an old post. It's best if those things transfer over to e-mail or instant messaging. Even this conversation we are having in the form of blog comments is kind of crappy.

But as I said on my first comment I think there is times when you might want to do a new blogpost on your own blog and when to comment. For example, I think this conversation is more suitable on comments of one blog than done through two blogs and multiple posts. I think commenting is useful especially when you want to ask something or say something to the writer of the original post. But I also see the point of this blog and as I said sometimes your own blogpost is better than comment. Maybe I'll do something like this blog if I ever feel need to talk or write deeply about something I read on some blog, but witch doesn't fit on my primary blogs theme.

If you were to write a blog post in reply to my blog post using modern blog software, and you placed a link to my blog post in your blog post, there would be a trackback. I would be notified of your reply post, and a link to your reply post would appear in the comments area as if it were an actual comment. You can read all about trackbacks on Wikipedia. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trackback" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trackback</a> Clearly you are unaware of blog trackback technology.

How otherwise I should comment on something you said? I could do like you and make a blog where I do a blogpost, but this text is almost meaningless as a individual peace. This is a reply to You, other people might read it too and get something from this, but first and foremost this is meant for the person who has written this blogpost I'm replying (I mean you Apreche). If I would make a new blogpost in my blog instead of this reply I would still have to somehow get this text to your attention (this is written for you, remember) so I would have to make a comment or e-mail you the link to my blog. And be serious would you go to my site just to read comment on your blog post (can't be sure that you read this, but still)? Now there is also the chance that you or some other reader replies to this comment and that will cause new replies and so on a conversation will start and go on. Ofcourse that conversation could be held in multiple blogs, but I don't see it useful of necessary. But maybe we see blogs differently, I'm happy to get comments on my blog, new ways to think about the topic I wrote about, and if comment has something I could reply to I will do so. Sometimes though there is a place for new blogpost instead of comment, but I think that taking every comment to your own blog is kinda exaggeration, but if it works on you, you'll keep doing it whatever I say. Just remember if you write something that I can and want comment I will do so. Had to make a comment. How otherwise I should comment on something you said?
