I've always hoped my article would spur them on its own. By my stats, I get many more visitors than comments, and I LOVE comments (and will answer them all), but I don't get 100's of comments, either and still spend a lot of time.<br /><br />Anyway...to answer your question. No, I don't leave questions. I tried that once, but it was so obvious that I was dredging for comments. The questions were silly. So I just figured that if they are moved enough by something I wrote, they'll comment.<br /><br />Good post!<br /><br /><a title="Follow My Writer's Blog" href="http://mlswift.me/blog" rel="nofollow">M.L.

I've been working my way through the list of my admirers and now I've arrived. Yay n'stuff! <br /><br />Wishing you much fulfilment and positive interaction with that anti-blogfest. That dude in the photo looks like he should be arrested. Who is he? <br /><br />I also want to thank you for noting that dude, Gary, in this "I Was Seeking Gary" group. I'm sure it does his ego a world of good :)<br /><br />Argghhhh!! Lingo alert! "WIP" not one, but two. <br /><br />To answer your question and you have asked a question at the bottom of your post. Which means you have asked a question at the bottom of your post. To answer your question, I don't normally ask a question at the bottom of my posts. Recently, I have. Although it's a bit of satire that is spoofing a certain ninja type dude :)<br /><br />Asking questions at the bottom of a blog sure is a nifty neato way of getting more comments, I reckon.<br /><br />I might attempt to leave a thought that ties in with my first thought in my posting. Or leave them with a sentence that has the title of the posting in it.<br /><br />How was my comment? Are you impressed I commented at four in the morning? Who is going to win the World Series? Do you think that Chelsea will win the Premier League?<br /><br />Cheerio,<br /><br />Gary :)klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347493753441352036.post-28755772022566183862013-08-07T21:30:59.302-04:002013-08-07T21:30:59.302-04:00Sometimes, I end with a question.
