Welcome to Blogging Sueblimely. To keep up with my posts you can subscribe to my RSS feed and follow me on Twitter. Thanks for visiting!
Do you look forward to checking to see if you have had new comments? I know I do. Not only does it reassure me that someone has been reading what I write but it develops the feeling of being part of a community. I find that once a person has commented they tend not to come back to the post again. Comments requiring a response from those who have already left a comment remain unacknowledged.
I always had the intention to revisit posts I had commented on but found it hard to keep track of what I had written where. Subscribe to comments plugins are a help but can create masses of emails with disjointed content. You cannot follow the flow of a conversation easily without revisiting the post again. This feature is not available on the majority of blogs in any case.
Enter coComment. I now use it for every comment I leave on other blogs. coComment keeps track of all comment conversations you wish to follow, saving them to your own page on the coComment site and informs you whenever something is added to a conversation. Clicking on a browser button tells coComment you wish to track a post’s comments. (It does not have to be one you have left comments on yourself.) I subscribe by email to my coComments feed but I tend to just head to the site now and again to see what is new.
There is a social networking side to the coComment site too. You can add friends and keep track of their comments, join groups and follow other members comments via tags. As well as supporting blogging platforms such as Blogger and Wordpress it works with other applications such as Digg and Flicker. Here is a list of what is currently supported.
The beauty of tracking comments is being able to go back to posts where the author or others have responded to your own comment and follow up where needed. If more people used this sort of tracking system blog comments could become much more dynamic, conversations more vibrant.
Do you have any methods for tracking your comments?

Hi Sue! Thanks for all the support and cheer you have brought to me lately. It means so much and has helped put a smile on my face:)
I am a member of cocomment but rarely use it. Once I become a regular reader of a blog and leave comments, I just read the replies to past comments the next time I go to a site.
I do think it’s a really nice site to use and maybe I’ll try it out again!

You are very welcome, Bobby. Anytime you need any support, want to talk or let off steam just give me a yell or, considering the distance, you could use my contact form
Being newer to blogging maybe I leave comments on sites I have not been to before more than you two so find it harder to keep track. I also like the way I can go straight to the posts via coComment.
I am going to continue decorating the blog for Christmas - any ideas welcome.
Thanks for sharing this link. I find I don’t go back to posts I have commented on so this might come in handy. Have it bookmarked so I can check it out later when the babes go to bed
