Small communities are great for sharing work/ ideas and concepts. At 1up there were a lot of members but only around 30 people I had on my friends list, I realised that you just can't comment on everyones work or blogs, time just won't allow it. I'm a big believer in commenting on peoples blogs, not just because I want others to read my meager offerings but because (cheese alert) it feels good to gain some rapport with people. Certain people I have come to 'follow' almost religiously becuase I really enjoy reading their work, others are just really nice people who I enjoy developing that online friendship with whilst a few (and I include you in this Blake) have a funny no bull shit approach which gives me a laugh (not that all of these are mutually exclusive of course). I really appreciate any one reading/ looking at me stuff so I always comment back, I gues thats my only gripe with some people, they don't always take the time to feedback to peoples comments. If they are an administrator or writer for the site I understand completely because they probably don't have the time to always do it but for the average Joe I feel it's important of you want people to continue to follow you. Of course leaving comments that are worth feedback also helps! love the Joker avatar BTW.
