And I'm horrible at responding to comments, but with as few as I get, it's usually pretty easy to get better. ;) I’ve posted controversial stuff before, but I’ve got some fairly thin skin when it comes to the backlash and can get a little snarky so I’ve laid off that for the most part.

I'm finding that this brings people back to see how you've responded to their comments. I've been shite at this in the past, I'm getting getter but still miss some. I think that this is the most important of the three Thanks for the link! :-)

I’m finding that there are three main factors which are important in the increase in comments I’m getting at my blog at the moment:

1) Post something controversial - but watch out for the possible backlash

2) Ask questions - I’m the first to admit I know buggerall about the stuff I write about, so ask others what they think

3)Answer EVERY comment. I’m finding that this brings people back to see how you’ve responded to their comments. I’ve been shite at this in the past, I’m getting getter but still miss some. I think that this is the most important of the three
