While writing on the subject of blog karma, Phil Sim made the following confession:

I’m a shitty blogger. I’m really bad at responding to comments, hardly ever comment on other people’s blogs, don’t link enough, etc, etc.

Phil’s candour made me reflect on my own blogging behaviour; I often practice hit-and-run commenting on other blogs, where I forget to return to check for replies until I’m reminded by referer links in my site stats. Not that I comment on many other blogs; like Phil, I’m a shitty blogger in that respect.

Phil also said this:

[tossr] is worth visiting if for nothing other than the name.

I’d like to think I’m worth visiting for more than just the name but to be honest, I think he’s got a point. Still, I grant Phil the gift of +2 blog karma points for the linkage, as well as a reciprocal link from the 1,196,895th blog in the world. Watch that traffic come flooding in!
