That's why I employe the 'extended entry' feature on the longer ones. I also go to extra lengths to try to explain the topic so that if a reader knows nothing about it, I can at least guide them through the beginning of understanding it, with lots of links to more info. But I'm not blogging just for the comments I can get. If I were, I'd complain more (comiseration generates comments) or blog about more controversial topics (argument is the comment-seeker's mistress). My technical articles (networking, SharePoint, exchange, unix) are more heavily tagged so the non-regulars can find my content when they're stuck and they resort to google. I have other blog entries elsewhere that have very high google rankings because I solve and explain a problem that many people face. For example, google for the three words "sharpeoint ldifde profile". The FIRST link is my blog entry about the subject. That says something. And it has worthwhile comments. That says something to me too. There are sharepoint admins out there that are bonking their heads on the keyboard because one of their admins edited MySite in FrontPage and now they can't get it back without a full and total restore (major pain). My blog entry conveniently tells them how to fix it without the restore. I don't expect any of my normal readers to be in that category, so I make it google-friendly and in a few months, I'll likely get a comment or two about how this saved their butts. And *that's* what I blog for. That, and the beer. Absurdist, yes, I know my “regulars” couldn’t give a single whit about my SharePoint blog articles.

Wayne, I like you dearly as a brother who is retarded, but you gotta get less boring content out there. Know your audience. That's the first rule in writing. :-) ***yawn***
