Comments

by Mike on December 4, 2009

When I first began writing posts for this blog I was mildly appre­hensive about what comments I might get. As it turns out so far I needn’t have worried — no comments at all!

One of the bene­fits of the blog format is that is can be an inter­active ‘conver­sa­tion’ leading to deeper thought and making the topic more inter­esting than just my own musings. So if you would like to say some­thing about, or add to, or correct me on any of my posts, please feel free to add a comment.

To add a comment just click on the link below the post (which currently says “no comments”), enter your name and email address and comment away. Your email address is never published, it just matches comments with whoever posted them. When you click ‘Add comment’ you need to type in the ‘text’ of the ‘captcha’ (which is to avoid auto­mated spam). Have fun.

I do reserve the right to moderate comments that are unsuit­able for a ‘G’ rated blog.

Molly Piper has some useful comments to make about comments on her blog at The Pipers.

Mike, if my experience is anything to go by, you’ll probably get more comments on your posts by forwarding them to Facebook than you will by just putting them on your blog. I’ve been blogging for four or more years, and the comments are fairly thin on the ground. But the posts that make it through to Facebook get noticed a lot more readily.

Thanks for the tip Mike, do you put the posts on your Notes tab on Facebook? I have just been posting the links.

it is reasurring to know that low levels of comments are quite normal – it is clearly unwise to use the big name bloggers as a benchmark!
