To comment or not to comment, is the question that has plagued many blog sites for years. There are many who won't come back to a website if they see blog posts empty or lack interaction; everyone has their reasons.

This can be problematic like a catch22. A blog needs a lot of traffic to garner comments from readers, but if you don't have the traffic, people will move on and not comment.

Like my site, the blog does not get a lot of traffic to it; most visitors are checking out/buying themes instead. Based on traffic stats, theme sections are roughly 90% where the blog is 10%. I'm actually wondering if I should convert the blog to be specific to "theme" based topics--such as updates and quick announcements of new releases. In the last day or two, I'm realizing theme development is taking most of my attention.

...which brings me to another point about comments...if a blog is not excessively active, comments will not be active as well.
