		<description>I don&#039;t think that every comment needs a response necessarily.  I try to get to the questions first and it can be a bit much responding to each comment. Like the others I feel guilty when I don&#039;t.  It should really be up to the individual on how they choose to do it. :)</description>

		<description>Somehow this issue is just begging to be addressed. I have been dealing with so much stress trying to get back to everyone who visits my blog, leave comments on my own blog then be sure to visit them; then I worry about those from blotanical that faved me, i feel i need to visit them so they feel i am appreciative of them...etc. Then, I need to think up a post, upload photos (of course, take photos first), upload the post and photos to blogger (sometimes a challenging endeavor:(   AND then, be a decent mother, wife, homemaker and have a life away from the computer. I started blotanical in Nov. and it&#039;s eating up my life! I so enjoy the blogs of almost everyone, but it is stressful, and I do feel guilt for taking too long to reply to people. It&#039;s a viscious cycle...and you have addressed an important issue. I think all new bloggers need to become aware of how it can get to be overwhelming.
Just yesterday I put a new message on my blog, and in the comments section, saying that I&#039;ll visit people&#039;s blogs if they leave a comment, but I&#039;ll answer a direct question on my blog.
Thanks for addressing this issue;)  AND, for reading this lengthy comment! As you can tell, I&#039;m feeling quite strongly about this issue lately!!</description>
