As my first post on this blog I thought it would be appropriate to tap into Chris Brogan's thoughts on commenting. I have to agree whole heartedly with Chris that commenting is something bloggers should strive to participate in.
As a fairly new blogger I will be looking to readers' comments to check I'm heading in the right direction whether this be in my style, content or links. This is where I must agree with Ulla - patting on the back is not such a bad thing either. Yes more detailed comments are a lot more useful, however as discussed in most of the comments on Chris' page, time restrictions play a big role when considering why the percentage of commenting is so low.
I also think Stephen Hopson's point about 'shyness' being a factor is very valid as it was not so long ago that I decided to take the plunge and spread my thoughts by way of commenting.
So to everyone and anyone this reaches please feel free to comment on my posts, after all the blogoshpere is a place for conversation and debate.
And if anyone has any tips on how I can increase the readership of my blog once I am fully up and running (although I plan to post everyday for the next week or so) I would be very grateful for your thoughts...
