Thanks, mind if I copy-n-paste your response?
I ran across a newbie post a few weeks back. It was simply, upvote me I need steem.
I wrote back saying I'm not going to waste my upvote on such a shit post, post some quality content and we'll see next time.
Anyway about replys, what is your opinion on a signature line, like the one I often use below? Of course, I always try to add something meaningful in my reply first.

check out the some posts, no obligation to upvote or follow, but wouldn't turn down either
Like I mentioned in the last paragraph of the post: feel free to use and adjust to your own means :-)
You do need to add the urls manually though since copy-pasting doesn't take over the meta data.
About signature lines: I think they can be useful in certain circumstances. But I also think they should be to the point and without excess information. In the case of your example: I already know your username. It is mentioned in every post, reply and comment. So, no need to give it to me again. Also, your last sentence in the signature line is, in my eyes, overkill and counter productive. I can decide by myself to go check out your blog based on the content of your post/reply/comment. No need to tell me I can check out your posts. And telling me you're not asking for follows or upvote but not turning them down either is a blatant call for an upvote or a follow: you achieve the opposite with me.
I think if you create an attractive banner that links to your blog and use that as a signature you intrigue
people more to click on it and lead them to your blog.
But, that's just my humble opinion. All up to you! :-D
