I’ve been using Feedburner to burn my feeds for a month or so now, and I really like some of the features. For instance, over on the right bar of this blog you can see the number of people who are burning me at this moment (or rather for this day or average of days).

That means that there are of you out there who subscribe to the site via an RSS reader. I think that’s a pretty good number. I know there are blogs out there who have bajillions upon sintillions of readers, but that’s not what I’m going for. What I really want is for all of you to interact with me via comments!

So that started me thinking, what would it take for you to comment on a blog? I know the basic answer is probably something like - the blog posed a question, or was about a topic I’m interested in…but that’s boring. What about posts that are curious, or are about something you know nothing about but want to know more about?

Just because you aren’t interested in American Idol doesn’t mean you can’t comment on one of the contestant’s hairstyles especially if I include a picture.

So…here’s a question and hopefully something you’re interested in (especially if you are also a blogger) - What is it that makes you want to stop for a moment and comment on a blog post?
