Black ATTENTION NEW (and old) BRIDES!!!
  

ATTENTION NEW (and old) BRIDES!!!

As britt262006 (and several other girls) pointed out in a recent blog the amount of comments that people are receiving has gone waaaay down in the last couple months. I attribute it to the large amount of brides that were super responders have just gotten married and now are off living their happy married life.

It is now up to us, the newbies and recent joiners, to take it upon ourselves to not just quickly glance at people's posts and move on, but to take the time to read AND respond, especially when brides need help or advice and for DIY projects. We all know how much it hurts to see 70 views and 2 comments.

If you expect people to leave you feedback, we need to get out there and start commenting like mad. You don't always have to agree with what someone is doing to post, we like opinions on WBC. That's why we are here!

So please, lets return WBC to the amazing, awesome, super fun site that it has been by supporting each other and leaving comments, we all know we need as much help and advice as we can get!

ps. And don't forget that leaving comments on older posts is always appreciated too! Especially if the comment count is low.

I agree.  I do my best to comment as much as I possibly can, but will try to step it up :)  I welcome all newbies not to feel obligated to leave comments for every single post in fear that they will be looked down upon in any way.  I do however, encourage everyone to simply increase the support.  Myself included!

I agree, we can all comment more. I generally leave a comment unless I don't know how to answer a particular question (like when someone asks how to do something). A simple "congrats" or "beautiful" is greatly appreciated. You don't have to write a book, just leave a simple short comment. =) Thanks for posting this!

Yayyy, Great post!  The Miss and Mrs. need to get back to supporting fellow WBC brides and responding to their posts!

About the last month of planning I finally accepted the fact that only a few brides would comment and I was fine with that.  I preferred quality comments over quantity anyway.   Ironically, 2 of the brides on my top 5 list were the first to comment on this post.  LOL

I definitely try to comment as much as possible, but it's difficult. I've noticed its pretty much the same people that have been commenting on my page, and it'd be nice to hear from new people. No one should feel obligated to comment, but that really is what this site is about. I love it anyway. Its an awesome place to share ideas and I've gotten so much inspiration from other ladies, even before I became an official member!

I agree -- I get super bummed when I posta  DIY project or a problem I'm having but get next to nothing in responces.  I'm dedicating this lunch break to comments :)

I'll do my bit to start commenting a lot more. It's funny that I spent most of my free time on WBC but my comments so far don't reflect that.

To my defense I was bit down for the past few days but I pulled thru. Now that I'm back to my usual self, I'll definitely post to keep this site alive!!!


Happy planning everyone!!!

couldnt agree more- It hurts when you ask for advice or you make an effort write a huge post to help OTHER brides and then no one comments LOL so i will do my best to comment on as many as possible ;-) xxx

Oh I'm so glad you posted this! I comment all the time on people's posts and it just kills me when I take the time to upload a ton of pictures (we just got married in May) or I ask a question and I get "VIEWS", but very few comments...it's like what the hell is the point!?

If you guys have Facebook, I highly recommend adding the Weddingbook application it was awesome when I was planning our wedding-you get a TON of responses on there =) I like this site cause you can keep all of your posts together...on there it is more of a board/forum format..just saying if you need advice or whatever go on there too. =D

I'm totally guilty of this - oops! I only check WBC on my coffee breaks so I don't always have time to reply. Plus now that the wedding is so close I don't have time to post or to check everyone's blogs like I used to and I miss it. So I'm going to try and keep up to date more for the last few weeks before the wedding :)

Good post...there has recently been a huge turnover of "older"brides and a lot of newbies.  So maybe they haven't seen or weren't a part of what WBC was about.  I haven't been on a lot lately, maybe a quick browsing, because work has been really busy so I've been working a lot of hours.  I do pop in for a few moments, but even then it's not for very long.  Work is slowing down a little bit so I'm sure I'll be back to commenting as I once did.

Well said !! I am a newbie! I think that you's  ladies are so creative! I have been on another similar websites and they were very harsh.Since joining WBC I feel very welcomed! So thank you ladies! I feel as a newbie that I post alot.  I kinda feel like a stalker...lol!! I just love everyone ideas and how everyone supports each other in many different ways!!  Keep up the great work ladies!!

I agree, I fell of not because I already got married but because of finacial issuses and job searching I am back and try to leave a comment for someone at least once a day.  It is hard for me now since I am working and go straight to football practice and then have to come home and cook dinner for the family but I promiise to my wonderful ladies I will comment more because i love the feed back on my question.  Thanks a million for posting this.
