My current blog platform, sadly, makes it difficult for others to post comments but that’s where my following…er, uhm…follows me. *s* But I am able to measure visitors and so I’ve wedded the blog to the FB page where I can ask for comments, and that’s seemed to work pretty well.

When I first started blogging and used the pronoun “we,” a more experienced blogger told me that I needed to establish myself as an authority and use the pronoun, “I.”

I evaluated the well-meaning advice, rejected it as not applicable to me, and continued to use “we” whenever possible.

Glad to see that WE agree. 😀

I didn’t even realize it! I’m a huge offender. Now this is at the front of my brain and I will concentrate on it with my next post. I do put questions at the end of every post, but rarely do I receive comments.

Blogs which I follow provide me with inspiration, motivation, and ideas on improving. I also enjoy honesty and humor. A few other blogs I follow are artists who wow me with their work.

The thing is, I hate asking a question that nobody answers! It feels too similar to rejection. Like making a comment in a room full of people and all goes silent. Only the crickets Kristen. Only the crickets.

I will try and work on that.

I want to engage my readers more. I am gaining more and more traffic, so there is no excuse for me not to engage them. Good luck with your new book!

I think commiseration is great fuel for a healthy comment section. Get readers to contribute their similar experiences. You’d probably generate traffic to your blog just so people could laugh at not only your blog, but the comments section.
