What to do about comments?

I love getting comments.

I love reading them and looking at your blogs too.

I love reading the comments because then it feels more like a relationship rather than me just writing to the great wide open.

Here is my conundrum though, how do I respond?
I have thought about responding on my blog, but am not sure if people would then check back.

I have thought about writing back on your blog, but then it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Instead, I end up commenting on your blog post and write something if you asked about something specific or wrote something that I needed to respond to.
Today I tried replying on my blog.
I am just trying to figure out what works best.

I just don't want anyone to feel as though I don't care by not responding on my blog.

I wish there was an easier way to respond, like a button I could push and then it would somehow let you know that I have responded.

Ugh, why can't I be more technologically gifted and think up a better way or make something that could do that for me?

Alas, I am not, I struggle tremendously with all things electronic.
(Although I will tell you that I finally learned how to get pictures off of my phone and onto the computer so that I could put them on here! Take that technology!)

If anyone has a better idea or way of doing things, please share with me.
Please!
