Commenter appreciation day!
15 years ago
i saw this on
's account journal
I'm hereby declaring August 21st Commenter Appreciation Day!
We can all appreciate the art, stories, music and more that get posted to the site, but what about the people who give us feedback, praise or just their time? It's time to say thank you! And I don't mean generic "thanks for the watch" shout (hint: nobody really likes those), but an honest "Hey, thanks for taking the time!" kind of comment.
Commenters never get the thanks they deserve. So this Saturday, take some time. Thank one or two people who've commented on your work who make you feel good or just give you motivation. Just take a few minutes to say thanks. It's a simple notion, but commenters (the good ones, anyway!) can make the world go 'round.
Like this idea? Repost the journal, and link back to fender!
