I believe there are some kind of software that post pre-filled identical comments to blogs, people don't need to read through your posts before commenting, instead, they could just click a button and the comments will be posted... sometimes these comments do not relate to your post directly but filled with praising words... not short... pretty long... which makes you wonder what to do with them...

EXACTLY. That's a very valid reason. @ jennie: “I didn’t want some of the people who visit my site to start to worry about the crowd that was hanging around.” EXACTLY. That’s a very valid reason.

In the few years that I've had a blog, I've only deleted a handful and those were because I didn't want some of the people who visit my site to start to worry about the crowd that was hanging around. I figure, it's my place, I should feel comfortable being my own bouncer. jennie's last blog post..<a href="http://gonelsons.com/2008/06/11/i-want-him-to-ride-my-bicycle.aspx" rel="nofollow">I want him to ride my bicycle.</a> I’m with you on deleting comments that are offensive or just plain old rude.

I think that it's perfectly legitimate to feel strongly about something that I wrote, yet feel that the blog as a whole is not something that you would want to read daily. If the comment is interesting and thoughtful, I appreciate it, even if the person never comes back to check my answer. I have enough readers that do come back. @ Colin: actually, I don’t mind.

Is it particularly annoying when they leave a parting question that they have no intention of reading the answer to?

I left a couple of comments on your blog.. so there. Now you have comments. :) I totally think you should ask your friends to support your blog. Most of my real life friends are not into blogging at all, yet a few of them leave comments here regularly. They used to be quite vigilant about it when I started out, before I made online friends. Also: a great way to get comments on your blog is to do exactly what you did today: reach out to other bloggers, especially ones with similar interests, and leave comments on their blogs. Good luck! I can totally understand the need to get comments on one's blog. @ Raymond: glad you like my blog!

The colour scheme,the retro adds and breezy writing. Please keep going. The whole thing about people leaving comments I can but totally identify with. I started my blog in April this year. This after writing short pieces and sending them to friends, colleagues and family by email since about 2004. Most of the people who read my stuff are still very email based(if that makes sense) so many of them will not go visit the blog or link up to any feeds. Those that do visit don't leave comments. I was soooo greatfull for the two comments that were actually posted, like you would not believe. Many of my friends, colleagues etc have sent me emails or spoken to or phoned me and have given encouraging comments. But I feel like saying to them please post a COMMENT!!! on my blog. You know I go 'peek' at my blog at least once a day looking for comments but NADA,NYET,NIKS!!!! Hi momgrind,
