I totally joined thinking that I could slam out comments and that I'd be able to do 100% on each challenge. Boy was I wrong! I totally underestimated the time it takes to write for that many images!
Kudos to ya'll who can actually do it! :)
(I'm sure starting comments on a challenge that ends the day I join might hinder the process a bit though ;))

How do ya'll go about commenting as much as you can?

When I do as many as I can it feels like I do it forever. So I normally do about 30 and stop.. then 30 and stop and so on and so on... Makes it a bit easier to spread it out throughout the days.

I use a canned comment keyboard macro:
Press 1 for: "Nice shot."
Press 2 for: "Needs more cowbell."
Press 3 for: "This image makes me feel all fuzzy. Maybe because it's out of focus."
Press 4 for: "It is decidedly so." oops, that's my Magic 8 ball macro key.
Press 5 for: "I love the warm, golden tones and the softness of this. You masterfully captured the water dripping off of those three tiny branches and the woman's expression seems both fitting and conflicting at the same time. Maybe it's the way that hat shades her eyes or maybe it's that caterpillar crawling softly along her thigh. The only thing I would recommend is cloning out that giraffe's head near the swimming pool."

I use #5 quite a bit.

I'd been wondering why you keep saying that about my landscapes...

What?

No "What were you thinking?" auto-comments

(Inside jokes for the peeps who've been here a while and remember one certain member who used to leave lots of these)

hm, I would ask you to hook me up with that keyboard macro Art, but I think I'd just end up wearing out my '2' key!

Re the OP, Nothing to it, just type really fast.
I spend most of my commenting time on side challenges, and try to comment on at least two or three that are in voting each week. I also usually have a look at the bottom 20 after voting, and try to offer something constructive to at least one or two of them.

Hopefully you will comment on my entry in the Toy challenge. I am pretty sure I will be in the bottom 20. I am not upset by any means because this is my first challenge. So far no one has commented and I have a 4.2 or something. I just want constructive critisism.

It is hard to comment on them all. I have done it a couple of times I think, but it is very time consuming.
