Blog posts are great!
They can be:
- Easy to access and you can read them anywhere (WiFi permitting).
- Short and sweet compared to magazines and books.
- Informative and full of useful stuff.
- Beautiful to look at.
- Uplifting and inspiring.
It is only when you start a blog that you understand how much hard work goes into putting together regular blog posts.
There are some really easy and simple ways you can show your blog post appreciation.
You are probably asking ‘why?’
Well here are some reasons:
- They will put a smile on the blogger’s face.
- Make all those hard blogging moments seem worth it.
- Encourage them to write more good posts.
- Every bit of appreciation they get from blog readers helps build their confidence and you never know where this might take them.
It doesn’t take much to show your appreciation but what you do goes a long way!
So when you finish reading a good blog post you can do one or more of the following:
- Like it.
- Talk about it to friends.
- Leave a brief comment.
- Email the link to a friend for them to read.
- Tweet it.
- Pin it.
- Stick a photo of the post on Instagram with the link.
- Share it on Facebook.
- Add it to your Stumble lists.
- Follow the blog.
- Follow the blog on Twitter.
- Email the blogger.
- Leave a touching comment with some cute emojis.
- Join a blog comment conversation on the post.
- Reblog it.
- Retweet it.
- Follow the blog on a blogging network.
- Write a blog post review and link to it.
- Bookmark it.
- Go back the next day!
Appreciate those good blog posts!

Thanks for this 🙂 happy Wednesday
Hi Lucy well done with your original and positive blog – you brighten our days 🙂
Arrrrr thx Tony – you have just brightened my day with this comment 🙂 happy Wednesday to you!
Brilliant!
Thx Tina – happy Wednesday to you (if you are there yet with time zones..)
Coming to the end of it. Have a great rest of the week!
Hikes are always easy to appreciate 🙂
Blog reader appreciation–this is great!
Thx for this 🙂 happy Wednesday
Yes what a thoughtful list. I suppose ‘find the bloggers home addresss and stalk them ‘ is inappropriate?
Hmmmm maybe – some have made me think about this lol! Just want to nip in for a cup of tea and a chat…
When you feel you get it ‘right’ and the ‘likes’ come in it’s shear joy…and when your posts end up lonely (not that yours do!) you learn something too…so everything a positive. Blogging…can take a while to find your way…but when you do it’s magic. Well done you I’m glad I found you in all your guises. Strong tea, a little milk, no sugar please. Eric
I am a strong tea girl so looks like we could be friends! Good comment and I agree 🙂 thx for finding me
It’s always great when someone takes the time to comment on my blog posts. I often wish I could write more in response – I wrote a blog on why I blog and Write
https://tomhocknell.wordpress.com/2015/08/17/why-do-i-write/
The same applies to commenting. I know how much work goes into a blog post, so appreciation is always welcome.
Thx Tom for reading and commenting 🙂 happy Wednesday
I think this post is very good, now we need to tweet it and fb it so it goes viral then all the passers by who only ever pop to a blog occasionally and never comment will see it. I think other bloggers know how important comments, pingbacks etc… are. *whispers* It’s all the others.
It’s really hard getting this message out there to readers. Your comment fitted with my thought process. It’s getting it to readers. Thx – v useful comment 🙂
Reblogged this on Words Can Inspire the World.
Thx for this 🙂
absolutely thats why I try to stalk your posts ^_^ in a totally non creepy way
happy wednesday

Hey Beaton – happy Wednesday to you my friend 🙂
I love reading blog posts, especially yours. Problem is, there are so many bloggers if I tried to read every one I’d never get any work done. 😀 Excellent list, though, with your signature style. Love it.
Lucy, are you on Google Plus? I can’t find you.
I am but have never used it – let me figure it out and I will send a carrier pigeon your way 🙂
Hey Sue Coletta – after reading your amazing book I get all star struck when you appear on my blog! 🙂 thx
You give me way more credit than I deserve, but thank you!
Reblogged this on Chris The Story Reading Ape's Blog and commented:
Very like how to promote a book you like – for leave a comment, substitute Leave a Review 😀
I sent Steph Richmond a link to your blog, she added mine to a list of her favourite blogs and asked if I had any. So here is a link to hers. “Jus sayin” we gotta pay it forward… Don’t we? https://scrichmondblog.wordpress.com/author/stephrichmond/
Yes!! Let’s spread the word and get those readers coming! Stand by for a reader tidal wave – sigh!
Well every little helps…
Amen Lucy! 😊💗🏆
Thx Kimberly 🙂
There are days where the one thing that keeps us going is a like and a “great post” comment.
Very well done! Thanks for the support you’ve given to all of us in the blog-o-sphere. 🙂
Thx Floriaborne – happy Wednesday to you 🙂
Good advice, and I am always pleased when I get some feedback on something I’ve posted, My viewing stats bombed in November and haven’t recovered BUT I am still getting the comments and likes from regular readers, and that counts for far more. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
I am sure they will recover. Thx for stopping by and happy Wednesday 🙂
Appreciating the blog post would definitely go a long way for the bloggers! Just liking the post and leaving a comment would make me happy for the entire day. 😊
Yay! Me too – happy Wednesday 🙂
There. I’ve liked it and tweeted it 🙂 You and all your hard work are very much appreciated.
Arrrr thx Sarah P – will check your tweeting powers out 🙂
Great post! I hope it will encourage folks to start leaving more comments and likes. I did, and I tweeted it too. 🙂
Hey Tina – thx for this – me too! You are a star 🙂
You’re welcome. 🙂 Honestly, a great post! 🙂
So true, Lucy! A good list and a great post 🙂
Hey! Thx Helen 🙂 happy Wednesday to you
And to you! 🙂
Very nice, Lucy! Somehow I was missing your new blog pic, too (I like it!). Good stuff; filing this away in my mind for when blogging feels more onerous or, conversely, pointless/empty/apathy-enducing than fun (like with exercise, the struggle to just move sometimes is overwhelming).
Thx Leigh 🙂 Happy Wednesday!
F.a.n.t.a.s.t.i.c. ❤ 😀
Yay Tess 🙂
Happy Wednesday and good blog posts! ❤
Yay!!! So nice to see you virtually 🙂
You too, BlondeLucy 🙂
I’m pleased to confirm that you do all these lovely things with my posts *big hug of gratitude*
So do you! When you tweet my stuff I always smile as your tweets do so much better than mine 🙂
Aw, you! 🙂
Well, I’m happy to say that as a blog reader, I do most of those things. And as a blog writer, there’s nothing like realising my readers appreciate what I write. Besides, it’s all for them 🙂
Thx for reading jazz feathers 🙂 Happy Thursday!
Excellent list of encouragement. As they say, “It takes a villege.” Supporting each other goes a long way on the path to success. Thanks for sharing.
Thx for reading Sheila 🙂 happy weekend
Wonderful Blog Post ! Keep Writing.. ❤
Thank you 😍
