RE: [http://wordpress.com/blog/2007/07/04/avatar-powered-recent-comments/]
All hail! The almighty WordPress.com website has included another cool feature. This newest discovery was noticed on the fourth of July while overhauling my ‘tags’ for each blog entries.
The avatar is located to the left of each comment. My avatar happens to be photograph of a bright red flower, which was given by ‘Allman ‘Brunette’ (a friend of ‘Squirrel-Ling’) to ‘Kali-Maw’. This flower bloomed once this year and probably won’t until the next year.
Also, the WordPress.com account holder, who left the comment(s), is also shown to the left of the title of the comment and to right of the avatar. Most of the comments are made by me because this section supports my posts. So far noone else leaves comments, which is fine for now.
I have moved the ‘Recent Comments’, ‘Recent Posts’ and ‘Search’ widgets towards the top of the sidebar menu. This should hopefully encourage readers to take a hint and read what’s on my mind!
Furthermore, I cannot tell if anyone is reading my comments because there is no activity under the ‘Clicks’ section of the ‘Blog Stats’. I assume they read my comments via my WordPress.com feed. There used to be ‘Blog Stats’ for my feeds but I do not see that tab anymore via the ‘Dashboard’ section.
Since the internet to big a monster, I noticed that there appears to be too many blogs for anyone to care about leaving comments. Perhaps the more popular blogs are professional pasties who have all the time in the world to return the comments left by others.
Or perhaps there are fan-based members who do not know how to stop leaving comments. Some are indeed too much by themselves to realize that being online for most of any day is not always healthy, especially if one takes their blogs too seriously.
For the serious minded individuals, like me, I have modified (again) and placed the ‘Text’ widget at the very top of sidebar menu. This particular widget shows the readers that there is a disclaimer, which adds some ‘protection’ to the blogger.
I will continue adding the ‘Tag’ features to each of my blogs. And that could take awhile longer since I am getting bored blogging. I have posted easier topics to my WordPress.com account recently and continue recording my daily thoughts offline.
