I just knew when I started this blog more than a year ago, it would be a great way to build rapport with people who stumbled in here. I’m definitely getting comments — tons of them — really, several hundred a day. But most of them are like this:

Best site I see. Thanks.

Generally, that comment is followed with lots and lots .. and lots… of links to sites selling stuff I’d rather not talk about.

I particularly love the comment that says:

Your site is very cognitive. I think you will have good future.:)

Is my future sewed up in a fortune cookie? Thanks for the smiley. I never would have known you weren’t serious.

I also love this one:

Hello Jane, great site!

Yo! My name is Kerch, not Jane. But Jane, if you’re out there somewhere and want to buy lots of stuff you probably wouldn’t talk to your mother about, send me your email address so I can forward these very important notes to you!

And as for this very common comment:

I just don’t have anything to say right now.

Why did you bother?

Comments, conversation, connection: These are the things that make a blog fun. Exchange of information and of ideas. What’s the point of talking if no one listens?

Here’s what I wonder, what’s the one thing you wish you could change? What steps do you need to take to make that happen.

And hey all, know this: I read these comments. I’d love to start a conversation. Let’s have some fun. And let’s get the ole gray cells agitated.
