Someone wrote in a blog that a good way to get comments and traffic to your blog is to pose a thought provoking, interactive question on a provocative subject. Pick a controversial subject, write your thoughts on it and then say, “So what do you think?” And people will post, whether or not they agree, they will post.
However, no one has written anything about how to cope with the bone crushing disappointment when no body posts a comment. I mean NOBODY. I am afraid that is what would happen to me, no one would post a answer or add a thought of their own, I would be checking everyday to see if ANYONE had bothered to come by and make my day. In the end I am left crying in my bed under my blankets because no one want to talk to me. And where are all these people who told me I would be more popular? They’re off fielding questions and getting comments from my readers!
And that’s all, she says.

I love your blog. I just blog for fun really. Today I posted my stats just for fun. I hope you get more commentors.
I love your 5 years blogging icon. How do I find out when I first started each of my three blogs so that I can post it like you did? I have not clue on exact dates?
I just used the date from my first blog post. Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting.

How many people have been influenced by what you post, and you were unaware of it?
Because they did not have time to add a comment, or did not feel comfortable posting a comment on the net. My blog is just pictures with whatever thought is running through my head at the time. I like to think that if I get one view on my post, then someone somewhere may have smiled or thought of a memory that made them happy or sad. You never know what impact your posts have on someone. Keep on keeping on 🙂
I keep track of the number of hits and average time spent on the blog, judging by today’s response people are reading. This blog is linked to my facebook and I get likes there. That is enough for me, to know people are getting enjoyment out of my blog.
Bella, I enjoy your site and the fact that you continue to search the world (universe?) for what is real. You seem quite savvy at this blogging and linking streams of information which might be a bit intimidating for the ‘something to do before life starts’ crowd.
I consider myself a serious writer and, like most, think someone will see my on-line writing and want to give me a larger stage – and then I wake up. I write because I need to. After 30 years, I consider my writing important whether or not someone comments. Also, I would think with a name like Bella Foxx a beautiful fulfilling life is a certainty.
I can never remember not having a book to read. It seems I have always enjoyed reading and then writing, first little cartoons, then short stories, I started keeping a journal (diary) when I was 10. I started blogging as a way to keep up with journaling. Although upon discovering that people were actually reading my blog, I started to write on a broader range of subjects. Occasionally taking a current event and expressing my opinion on it.
