So now I just go to this part of Flickr and then onto the sites where comments have been made. Does this make sense?

I must investigate, i always miss comments people leave on Flickr, Flickr is just used for my moblog photos, so i expect people to comment on my blog, but sometimes they comment on Flickr, and several months later i find their comments.

On flickr you can get a feed for the comments left on your photos, and also for the comments left on photos you have commented on, which is really good for interactation because it's easy to see if someone says something in reply to something you've said. You can see this on the flickr site if you go into "Comments You've Made" (you may have already realised that, it took me a while to discover it though).

My blog doesn't have a feed for comments, but thats ok because i get e-mails every time someone posts a comment and i'm happy with that.

If that is so, then that would change by mind completely about using these tools. Maybe Ill get Vern to set up this for me and then I can judge for myself. Thanks for the feedback.

Theres several ways in which these tools can be used too. :-) I use these tools to discover when something new has been posted, instead of having to check 20 blogs every day, then i click on the link to go to the site itself, which allows me to comment if i wish.

Thats fine, but wouldnt you want to interact with other people who have made comments on a Blog? I think the same applies to Flickr where you can receive updates on your contacts photos without going searching for them. But I like to go to the site and fossick around reading what people think of various photos. I also like the interaction that occurs with these photos.

I referred to him as the expert as he set it up for me and I do need his help in resizing photos etc. He has also had a bit of experience in putting Blogs together. I was being a bit flippant when I referred to him as the expert as I agree with you Novey there is no such thing as a Blog expert. Everyone has their own ideas on these sorts of things.

I didn't know there is such a thing. Blogs are meant to be personal and unique. Having a uniformed look &#38; feel with the rest of the 'blog community' defeats the purpose and frankly makes it less interesting. Do what you like, it's YOUR blog. Having categories solves the issue of organizing different topics. Express your opinions away. That's what makes blogs (at least in my opinion) interesting to read. Who is this so-called blog expert?

As Vern says above you can have a blog so that the first post is at the top, but i'd agree with both Vern and Raewyn in that the design of a blog is something that is regularly read, so you have already read every prior post and now want to see the most recent. Ideally if a person posts daily you read it daily, or if they post weekly then you read it weekly. There are tools available for people to find out if you have posted to your blog without them even having to go to it, which is often how they can ensure they never miss out on anything. I've actually been having a debate with myself similiar to the one you are having, whether one blog should be used for mixed activities, or whether i should set up another one. I guess it also depends on how many you can cope with, i know i already have plenty and don't update some anywhere near as frequently as i should. I look forward to seeing how this develops.
