AR. TOO LONG COMMENT. :\ bye~! omg you really are the oracle. that’s awesome kevin and definitely something i’ve considered before. it always surprises me which posts of mine get lots of comments and which illicit none. i think i’d be lying if i said the # of comments left on my blog had absolutely no effect on my content. but more often than not, i post what i fancy, and often think, “hm, no one will care about this let alone comment,” but post anyway with the my blogging mantra (ok i’m making this up on the spot) in mind: i post because i want to.
