I also try to follow my own ´rules´, and sometimes it works, but I find that when I am tired it is difficult for me to come up with good response to the comments people leave. <br />What is most important is probably that our readers can see we really appreciate that they take the time to leave a comment. <br />And a great weekend to you too.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-42348143444019962062009-04-18T17:56:00.000+01:002009-04-18T17:56:00.000+01:00Hi Dorte,

So far my solution has been to leave a short ´hi´ of some kind, but I am trying to learn from some of the blogs that inspire me how to engage people by inviting comments (you might want to see what my latest guest blogger, Peter Rozovsky, wrote yesterday - he is an expert at opening a dialogue by writing the right kinds of questions).Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-80743746221116278092009-04-13T11:50:00.000+01:002009-04-13T11:50:00.000+01:00As a comment-leaver, I always wonder whether it's ...As a comment-leaver, I always wonder whether it's better to leave an uninspired comment than none at all.

I even have an extra post for this one as I asked a blog friend to muse over how he got so many comments. <BR/>And I am glad so many people enjoy my Bait in the Box. 2-3 bloggers have been so kind as to send me boxes (so if you have any, it would be much appreciated). Whenever it is possible, I use a box from the right area or period.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-68034543544069935842009-04-11T23:30:00.000+01:002009-04-11T23:30:00.000+01:00Dorte - I haven't yet written a post for the curre...Dorte - I haven't yet written a post for the current BIP, but reading your post has got me thinking that I should catch up on this one!<BR/><BR/>One of my goals when we started BIP was to leave more meaningful comments. As you say, it's quality, not quantity.<BR/><BR/>I do like to visit your blog, and am impressed that you take the time/effort to translate your posts. I don't read much crime fiction, so I often don't comment on your reviews :(<BR/><BR/>I do love the "bait in the box", and it seems that other bloggers are sending you box pictures to use (is that right?)<BR/><BR/>Dawn<BR/><A HREF="http://www.sheistoofondofbooks.com" REL="nofollow">She is Too Fond of Books</A>Dawn @ sheIsTooFondOfBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09285873722005594325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-49121165949852973302009-04-10T17:11:00.000+01:002009-04-10T17:11:00.000+01:00Hi Kate.

In a way that doesn´t matter to me, because they are what I made my blog for, and I know that they make a difference to some of my blog friends, just like I buy or borrow books based on what you and all my other crime fiction friends think about it. <BR/>Still, I will try to remember to make some of the other posts more inviting to give people a chance to say hello even if they haven´t read as many crime novels as I have.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-27582115099002795942009-04-10T16:59:00.000+01:002009-04-10T16:59:00.000+01:00This was very helpful reading!

On CultureWitch I get more one-off visits, and hence fewer comments.<BR/><BR/>And in similar discussions elsewhere, I always conclude that people don't comment because they feel they need to be very knowledgeable about the subject, rather than just saying 'well done' or 'interesting thought'.<BR/><BR/>I blogged about the film Flammen & Citronen yesterday, so any Danes here, feel free to visit http://culturewitch.wordpress.com<BR/>Comments can be made in any language, though I do find Russian is beyond my capabilities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-88991091537249638052009-04-10T01:33:00.000+01:002009-04-10T01:33:00.000+01:00This is an interesting project (the Blog Improveme...This is an interesting project (the Blog Improvement one)you've got yourself into Dorte and I'm learning lots just by reading your posts.<BR/>In the last 10 days I have published 16 posts (too many I know!), and I have 3 others sitting in draft.
