I do wish they would add a third option for users who are posting comments for "Notify me of replies to my comments"–those are the emails I want. I made the mistake of checking the "Notify me of follow-up comments via email" box (thinking I would be notified of replies to my comments) and discovered that doing so causes it to send an email every time somebody comments on that blog post.

On blogs I read regularly, the commenter community is an important part of the experience for me. Discussion of a post really opens it up. I recently bought a (paper!) magazine subscription from a kid. As I read, I often find myself anticipating the "discussion" of the article and then I remember that there won't be one! (Of course, the article is probably posted online with comments, but I never go to the trouble to find it. ) But yes, long live blogs with comments.

IntenseDebate Notification

Thanks for your input. I have more or less begged for readers to tell me what they thought, on only a few posts, and I got nothing. That was maybe three years ago. I'll try to remember to ask, more often, although my blog really doesn't exist to provoke controversy. That probably qualifies it as boring, to a lot of people, but, then, they probably aren't interested in the message I try to get out there.

I think the key to engaging readers is seeing your posts as a way to initiate a conversation. This means that you don’t have to make a speech or answer every question. Instead, you need to write something that is provocative and pulls your readers into the content. Ask them their opinion. Invite them to comment. My goal is to end every post in this way.
