Empowering the Individual, Not the Brain Injury
By Second Chance to Live
Hello Fellow Sojourner,
I am 6 days old in the bloggoshere. I have had 80 hits on my blog, but no one has commented on my posts. I am bewildered and wonder what I need to do different to have people take time to comment. What do I need to do differently?
Thanks for your time and input!

Hi dear Fellow,
No comments is indeed devastating fact. I perfectly understand your bewilderment. However, you question what to do … It is easy to share such news as how to change an ordinary text into the bold, for example. But that dint fit in our case. So to say, you lifted up not a technical but the spiritual problem.
Congratulations. You have made the first step towards the healing. I say so because prior to ask for the savior you need to comprehend that you are lost without the savior for to call for him-to question what should you do.
When God is with us everything become possible to us and its God’s Word that enlightens the darkness of the world’s artificial illuminations.
I dint know what concretely you should do for to get more responses to your posts, but I know for sure where to look for the answers to your questions. That’s the prayer and our Lord Jesus Christ is waiting for you.
Wow, you are the luckiest man.
I’m excited to browse around your blog–(haven’t had the time quite yet…) your categories are of great interest to me.
Re: comments–I think it just takes time. Once you establish a base of readers, (which takes more than 6 days…:) then people will start to feel comfortable commenting. Many people ‘lurk’ but don’t comment for a variety of reasons: too shy, feel they can’t formulate ‘articulate’ enough thoughts, are afraid of cyberspace having their thoughts out there forever…
You can build your reader base by putting your blog on search engines (just google ‘blog search engines’ and go from there.) Also, many self-help sites or Adult Children sites have calls for blogs. Oh, and About.com features blogs in different categories. I had my old blog on anxiety featured there in their ‘anxiety disorders’ section. So that’s an option to explore as well. Not that you asked me how to get more readers, but I just figured–more readers, more comments.
Welcome to the blog world–looking forward to reading!

LOL
To be perfectly honest I have yet to figure out what makes people comment on a blog. You can have the most popular blog going and get like 2 comments. I’ve been blogging before I knoew it was called blogging and see sites get all sorts of taffic and even money but comments are anywhere from 0 to 12.
The most successful blogs… well it depends on how you meassure successful… I’ll put it this way, the blog who get comments are:
-Blog is years old.
-About a specific topic (usually tech but can be anything from wine to babies and photograpghy)
-Be on a TRUE community blog site – and no this is not a diss to WordPress – that has a high standard of community interaction (you get comments almost everyday from fellow bloggers ESPECIALLY if you comment on their blogs)
-Be active online on other peoples website blogs.
That is what I know so far. If you want, check out what I call a TURE community blog service called Efx2.com It easily allows you to interact with fellow bloggers and the entire web. I am not sure why there are not many sites out there like this but there aren’t.
Also note that you have to post pretty often. that is another key. Post often and try to do it every week (if not every day). Write retorts to other blogers blog posts, be involved in the blogger community as much as possible and above all have fun with it. Check the wordpress.com front page and see what’s going on the website.
Some other True community websites
JoeUser
MySpace (yuck… but its a true community blog platform)
TagSpace
Announce Your Life (not currently active but at least it shows the idea)
ModBlog (same as above)
