Those where the visiting author comments or answers questions in the comments feel more interactive. If the author doesn't do that then it just feels like a guest post and nothing more.Helen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-60463771838160490362012-01-24T18:16:56.853-05:002012-01-24T18:16:56.853-05:00Bookmark #2! :) This is all great information.Bookmark #2! :) This is all great information.DL Hammonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007260062331783715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-5574903407633587822012-01-24T09:52:39.158-05:002012-01-24T09:52:39.158-05:00Blog tours sound like a lot of work.

I follow a lot of blogs, and sometimes I'll see pretty much the same generic post on a whole bunch of blogs, whilst other times there will be something different at each stop.
