More on Comments of Blogs
Tuesday, August 21, 2007
Does not having a comments facility mean it’s not really a blog? Do comments add to the quality of a blog? I know that some bloggers have even disabled the function of comments in their blogs? This post to follow my yesterday's post on the importance of comments.
Who reads comments anyway?
Just about the only time I ever actually read comments is on the first visit to a new blog that I am weighing up. I scan down the main page and see how many of the posts have "Comments (0)". If nobody is commenting, then my instinctive reaction is that the blog is not worth reading.
If the blog passes that very unscientific test of mine, I add it to my RSS Feed Reader (in my case Flock), and after that I never read another comment on that blog. Ever. For this same reason I also seldom add comments to other blogs.
Will we turn commenting off here?
That’s a tough question, because one of the reasons I like commenting as a blog author is that it is a type of affirmation. If I write this lengthy post and in a week’s time there are no comments, I feel like nobody has read it, even if the site stats tell me otherwise. Aiming for people to respond on their own blogs instead of underneath this post raises the bar for the quality of what I need to be writing.
For 642-444 and 350-030 it is important that you first cover 642-382 as well as 642-432. Only then will you be able to go ahead with rest of the courses like 70-284 and 640-816.

What about blogs that have that "widget" on the side that shows the most recent comments? If you see that on somebody's blog does that make you more interested in the blog?
I think that having the ability to add comments and actually having comments are two great things that every blog needs - even if it takes time to accumulate some comments.
