  If I share a lengthy response to someone’s post on their blog, and it has relevance to what I’m already writing on my own blog, what’s the best/most efficient procedure for reflecting that?
  Do I copy/paste into a new post on my site? (But I would want to acknowledge someone else’s blog ‘inspired’ me to make that comment)
  Is there a sidebar widget to show My Comments on various other blogs?
  Should I start saying in the comment on someone’s blog “See my blog for a more detailed response?” – that one sound kinda bossy.

  That last one will get you put into the Spam filter more often than not, actually.

  Leave a comment in full on their site and if, within the comment, you want to reference something written elsewhere, put it in as a link. That goes even if it’s something you wrote. Do not over-use that, or you will get put into the spam file for self-promotion. And don’t generally use more than two links per comment or you’ll automatically get dumped into Spam.

  If someone’s post inspires you to write a whole new post, then yes, you should certainly link to it.
