As a new blogger (started my blog just over a month ago), I'm wondering if there's an unwritten etiquette when it comes to following a blog.  I currently have around 40 followers, but I only follow about 20 blogs - I check the blog of everyone who comments on my page, but I am sort of selective about who I follow so that I don't open blogger and get overwhelmed as so often happens with my Facebook newsfeed and my e-mail inbox.  The bloggers I follow are, for the most part, either real-world friends or writers with a voice I really appreciate, be it their style or the information they share.

 

I find there are several blogs that I click on and find interesting, but I don't make that commitment to "follow" since I want to be sure I have the time and ability to truly follow the blogs I choose.  Sometimes I facebook "like" them if there's an option or I bookmark them on my menu to check on every so often.

 

So, what's your thoughts on blog following, especially as it pertains to the reciprocal follow?  Do you automatically follow those who follow you?  If not, how do you determine who you do follow?  Do you follow before you comment, or comment regardless of whether you plan to follow?

 

Please share your thoughts and experiences!

Thanks.  :)
