Would You? Could You? Did You? WOW! Did you ever! The response from the genea-blogger community to the "Would You Care to Comment?" challenge has been terrific. We blogged, we read, we commented. And most importantly we continue to build our genea-blogger community.
The push to comment came from Chris Brogan's post 25 Ways to Build Your Community. I took suggestion #10 to heart, and blogged about it here. And, the suggestion to make into a challenge came from Sheri Fenley, The Educated Genealogist.
Where did the genea-bloggers visit and comment? Here are the results:

Since I was the one who had issued the challenge, I thought I had better walk the walk and not just talk the talk. My post about the blogs I read and left comments on can be found at I Laughed, I Cried, I Commented.
Although some of you didn't get a chance to participate in the challenge this time around, I know you are out there commenting nonetheless. Way to go genea-bloggers!
Keep bloggin', keep readin' and keep commentin'!
