My Promise to the Blogging Community

About a week or so ago, I made a comment on one of my favorite Blogs, Successful Blog. It was on topic and well accepted as part of the conversation going on. However, I felt bad about one of the responses.
Let me explain.
Liz and I have been a part of the Blogging community for quite a while now and have always made sure to join in each others conversations if we could add something of interest. But in this instance, Liz said something that hit like a ton of bricks. What could or would Liz say that would impact me in that way?
“Welcome Back, we missed you”
Not really something that people would consider a bad thing, it is actually a very considerate thing to say. But I didn’t realize I had gone away. I subscribe to Liz’s RSS Feed and have for a long time. I even try to make Open Mic Night every Tuesday (although I have missed a couple). But, she was right. I WAS missing. I had essentially ceased to be a real part of the community. I was distracted from talking to my friends. I even wrote a post a while ago, Is RSS Hurting the Blogging Community, but failed to heed my own words.

My Promise
- I will be sure to comment on other Blogs if I can add to the conversation.
- I will respond to comments on my own Blog.
- I will acknowledge any links to my Blog with a comment on the linker’s Blog.
- I will continue to link to other Blogs that are pertinent to a posts content.
- I will once again be a part of the Blogging Community.
That is my promise to the Community as a whole, in part, and individually.
If you feel you are losing some of the interaction that is an integral part of Blogging, you may want to join me in this Promise to the Community.
