@Ben

Yeah, hadn’t seen much of you lately (and you talk about work all the time). :)

And we definitely are far from good at being like everyone else! :)

I can’t believe I didn’t comment in here when you link back to me…Sorry mate and thanks a lot for the link!

As for what posts drive comments, I find it difficult to predict. Sometimes I write post I’m sure will get Retweeted, receive lots of comments, etc and they almost get no exposures. Sometimes I write a post I think doesn’t deserve much attention and traffic to it skyrocket… Anyway. Straight to the points articles about popular subjects seems to work well. But then again, do I want to be like everyone else? That’s another question!

Thanks!

Ben.

@Angelo

Thanks for awesome extensive comments! :)

It’s not that I don’t accept guest posts – just never asked for those and no one offered. Blog is really far from caliber when people want to get on it for promotion. :)

@Rarst First off, thanks for the mention! I feel bad though, cause I’m the only one who doesn’t link to a blog or anything.. makes me want to get my old one up and running again.

Secondly, with regards to posts, maybe you should accept guest posts as well.. maybe once a week you could review them and put up a good one. It’s good PR for those who are looking to push their own blogs as well and it’s fun for those who just like writing about software.

I’m sure with the great caliber of commenters that you’ve accumulated, you’ll be rolling in great content in no time!

@Donace

Yeah, I am thinking of reducing posting rate bit more. I do 6 posts per week at moment. When I am in a mood it’s easy, when not – it can suck. :)

@Donace

Thanks. :) 20 comments per post is pretty good, I rarely get that much.
