I'm gonna beat you to the catch: YOU are awesome.

so true, and such a good idea. when i don't get comments i become convinced that only 2 people are reading.

i also read in an app (either google reader or the awesome app, reeder), but i will work extra-hard to comment!

I was only able to comment on two yesterday, but I did 4 so far today! I'm going to try and do 8 today so I can keep a 5/day average.

And bluedawg, I'm the same.

Is there anything on blogger or something I can use to see all the blogs I've commented on? Sometimes I like to check back and see if there was an answer if I ask questions or something.

I'm on it like a vegan on ______________.

Woke up this morning to 4 comments! <3 I'll get on this commenting business today.

I'm actually going to have a hard time only doing 5 comments. This is kind of addictive! I'm not even adding the bundle to my reader because I'm afraid I'll never do anything else ever again. I'm just going to the feed on the site, reading the blogs that come up, and then adding a few that I really want to follow permanently. I'm afraid if I add all 700 blogs, I really will actually try to read them all!!

I'm reading & enjoying so many blogs that I'm definitely commenting on more than 5 a day!

I have a separate MoFo reader. It's great because i can just keep everything separate from my normal one and spend time catching up when I get chance.

I added the bundle to my regular reader, and as I scroll through it and find a good blog, I add it to another folder so I can easily prioritize the blogs I like better. I also clear out the ones I don't like - blogs in unknown languages, tumblr-blogs that aren't about food etc. Makes it easier to maintain!

I'm totally up for this challenge, although I'm already finding it difficult to keep up with all my regular blogs. I love mofo so far, I've never gotten somany comments at once, makes me feel like people actually read my little ol blog.

Yes, this is a good thing to point out - once you download the bundle, you can delete any blogs you don't want to read (for whatever reason).

i still have the VVC bundle in my reader, and i'm askeered to add the mofo bundle on top of that, but i will... soon.

If I do it, will I be able to unsubscribe from the bundle at the end of the month, or will I have to unsubscribe from each blog individually?

If you use google reader you can unsubscribe to all of them at once.

I thought it is easy but to leave 5 interesting comments - well it;s much more complicated than I could imagine!

This is basically my ideal as well.

This is the first year I have really had the time to read & comment on other people's MoFos! Yay desk job!

Half of the blogs I try to comment on don't have the "URL/name" option :( I don't have a blogger or wordpress profile, so I cant comment if you don't have this option!

Momo · **Posted:** Thu Oct 06, 2011 10:23 am

I am managing to keep up! I must admit though the majority of my comments are posted on wordpress blogs due to the fact that blogspot hates me and often will not allow me to comment :( I get some message about cookie values not being fit for the form restoration? I have had so many problems with blogspot, I can't even stay logged in to write a blog post...

ismloveyoubobbybrown · **Posted:** Thu Oct 06, 2011 10:32 am

i starred a bunch of posts in my reader while scrolling through on my phone and i've been spending my morning finally going back to them and commenting and pinning things to pinterest.

I am kind of out of commenting control. Boring desk job = so much time to read MoFo blogs.

Momo, I was having the same problem with commenting on blogger/blogspot posts just on my work computer-- it turned out I needed to change a setting in my browser here. If you're using internet explorer, I think the setting I had to change was like this:

Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner
Pick Internet Options
Go to the Privacy tab
Hit Advanced
Choose either accept (which will accept all) or prompt (which will make you say yes or no) to both first party AND third party cookies

Not sure what you do if you're using another browser; I use Safari at home but didn't have any trouble there.

Good to know! I've been having this problem too!

Great idea! I will do that!

loolie · **Posted:** Thu Oct 06, 2011 8:52 pm

I have been having this problem too, which sucks because I have a blogspot blog! But only on my computer at work! So I tried this cookies/privacy option as suggested, so hopefully that helps :)
