I think the main issue is the content. Not that it's bad (it isn't), but it's recycled. It's out of context, doesn't feel you are communicating to me when I read it (and you're not, since you wrote it replying to someone else). Why would I go there instead of skimming your comments page? The concept is not bad, though, but I think it would work better if comments served as inspiration for a post. What advice/opinion were you trying to convey through it. If it helps, I tend to structure my writing in motivation/introduction, content, then conclusion. Topic tends to flow better. For specifics: 1. Keep them on. First, do you have any readers for there to be comments? I never heard about your blog before. Second, write something asking for experiences, feedback, opinions. Give them a hook to write something back to you. If this askhn was posted in your blog there definitely would be replies. 2. The main point that jumps out to me here is the "only text" part. It's a bit dull if you are trying to engage an audience. Design to convert surfers to subscribers. When I write I like to put headers and subheaders. Some graphs, images or screenshots. Liven it up. 3. I don't know posterous, but I tend to like looking at categories to find similar posts. 4. I like clever names. 5. Write first for yourself, then for your audience. Writing is a great way to put your thoughts in order and realizing what you really know about that subject. You'll learn, and that's good in itself even if no one reads it. It seems to me that by recycling comments you're not gaining anything personaly and not getting motivated enough to make it better.
