While on the most recent episode of the BloggerTalk.tv podcast with Jeff of Jeffro2pt0, he mentioned a site called the Reader Appreciation Project, and the great posts on the site made me think about my own systems for appreciating readers, and I came to a simple conclusion for Xfep.com.
Once a month, I am going to pick two people that have commented on this blog, and feature their site. Not only am I going to link to them, and talk about why I chose them, but I am also going to follow their link and talk about their site. It could be another blog like this one. It could be totally unrelated, but I believe that someone that takes the time to comment on a blog deserves some sort of pat on the back, and I hope by featuring not only the URL of the people that comment, but going beyond that to the site they have, I can foster a community here, and hopefully, introduce you all to some amazing products, services and blogs.
I will be doing my first Commenter Appreciation post tomorrow. So if you haven’t commented on Xfep.com before. Now would be a good time, as it could mean getting your site critiqued or featured.

Hey there!
Thanks for tuning in and listening to BloggerTalk.tv Everyone associated with the show, really appreciates it. Secondly, thank you from one blogger to another for realizing the importance of commenter appreciation.
Any small time blogger should show a heap of appreciation for those that take the time out of their day to contribute to the conversation. Not only will this encourage them to stick around and to leave more comments, but it’s also a sign of good faith.
Again, I’m glad that something that was mentioned on the show ended up striking a chord with you. I’m going to go ahead and subscribe to this blog in order to keep in touch.
Have a good one and thank you very much for linking to me!

Um Jeff, it is me, David… the “other” guy that was on the show.
So of course I tuned in. I had to answer some questions…
Nice though that you have come as an ambassador for the show though. I am sure that means a lot to Anthony.
Good times…

Crap! LOL Sorry about that. I recognize BloggingPro but I didn’t know this was your blog as well. Oh well, I’m sure you got quite a chuckle out of my comment.
Since I’m here, which plugin do you use which emails first time commenters? I myself would like to integrate that into my blog.
