Comments

I don't seem to get many comments on my blog. I recently changed my set up to Open Id that Blogger recently added. I used to only get comments from people who had blogs on Blogger. Would one of you be so kind as to check out my set up and give me some suggestions? How do you have comments set up on your blog?

Hi Justine,

I couldn't access the link you sent me, but if you talk to me on msn I might be able to help you through it ([e-mail]).

As far as getting more comments goes, I stuggle with this a bit myself. My brother tends to get a fair few more comments then me, and he says it's because he always leaves something in his blog for people to comment ON.

I've been thinking about this a bit lately, and when I read some's blog (or my own) I stop at the end of the post and think (why did I, or didn't I comment?) was it just that there was nothing to comment on, or did I not relate to the post, or was it boring?

I've tried having a question at the end of my post which sometimes works...

I also find that leaving comments on other people's blogs makes them far more likely to comment on yours.

And also, I think content is important. I'm just about to pop over to your site now and have a look. :-) Hope some of my blabbering helped!!

Yes it did! I thought I responded to this earlier. I guess I didn't or erased it somehow. Thank you very much!
