Thanks for your compliments miranda. I’m sorry for not getting back to you earlier as it was a Thanksgiving in Korea the last three days.

Regarding your question about CommentLuv, I think it may be a problem with your blog’s address. It may be just me, but your site (http://www.theenginerevolution.com/hotpress/) does not load for me. Some of the proxies I used to check from proxy.org also fails. By the way, you don’t need to install CommentLuv for your RSS feed to be displayed over here in the comments section.

Are you using WordPress? Also, did your RSS feed (through CommentLuv) show up on other blogs that use the CommentLuv plugin?

Thanks for coming by again miranda.

I forgot something…
Thanks to you I went and found Comment Luv and installed it; but it is not working as I can see by my comments here. Any ideas why that might be?

(I hope it is ok to write these sort of comments, which are in fact like forum questions – please put me right if not)

@miranda: Well, if you need any time to kill, you know where to come. I’ve actually been looking for that comment subscribing plugin. I always use it when I visit other blogs, but I never got around to finding it. Actually I did now, thanks to your guidance, so tanks! I’m also thinking of installing the threaded comments plugin, but I heard WordPress 2.7 might be coming out with that, so I’m kind of waiting for that too to enhance the commenting experience here.

Regarding the full RSS feed, I was pondering on whether to make it full or a summary. I decided to go with the full feed because although I do like visitors and my pretty stat bars rising every month, I don’t want my visitors to have to go through the hassle of clicking the feed, waiting for the page to load, and then getting the chance to read the rest of the post. I guess a little gratitude on my behalf for them subscribing.

By the way, I’m not a UK-er. In fact, I’m Korean. Also, thanks for dropping by. I really appreciate your thoughtful comments!

That was a really useful post. In fact I dugg it.

Your blog is bad news though – I’ve just spent over half an hour reading it and following links…. and I hardly ever do that!

BTW, you say in one of your posts (I think it’s this one – I’ve read so many I’ve got in a muddle) about coming back after leaving a comment, to follow up with replies but I can’t find the tickbox when I post a comment, of the wp plugin that lets us ‘subscribe to comments’ – I’m pretty sure that is the name of the plugin.

Another BTW is: I have subscribed to your rss feed. When I opened it, it is showing all your post. I think that when it does this it stops people clicking through to your website to read the post, because they can read it all in the rss.

You can set it to just show the title and first few lines by going to either ‘reading’ or ‘writing’ – don’t remember which of the 2 it is – and there is a checkbox near the bottom of the page which refers to just showing a snippet.

Thanks for your blog – even though it is a time-killer. By your writing style I’m thinking that you might be a uk-er. Are you?

@wolverine: Thanks for the comment buddy. Definitely a bad comment makes your blog look bad too. Chances are that if you comment is impressive, they’ll click on your name to check out your blog. That’s what I do atleast. Anyways, thanks for the comment at BloggersWalk. Please feel free to subscribe to the blog as I will be updating this blog more often. Thanks!

@Melvin: Exactly! I’ve noticed that when I write some relatively long comments, I have a few people clicking through to my site. Thanks for commenting Melvin!

Obviously, comments that are worth noting gives more exposure to you.. I mean comments represent you and your blog so if you're up with something lame then maybe people can think your blog is lame too... Melvins last blog post..Every Kid Who Has A Blog Is Busy Right Now!

impressive title man.. i agree with you... if you comment only for the sake of linkback then its better no to comment..because a stupid comment may worsen your image and none would be interested to visit your blog... but a genuine comment helps you to make friends, get traffic for your blog and insists the author to reply and visit your blog... always reply to the comments asap... and visit the commentators blog and comment there... it will help you to build network and a loyal reader also... wolverines last blog post..Wolverine hacks will have a new look soon!!

@Lucas: Thanks for the comment buddy, and a great tip too! I’ve been a subscriber of your blog for quite a while now. The design is in fact a free design. I’m in the market to buy a custom theme, so if you know any designers, I’d appreciate it if you could send me an email or something. Thanks!
