This is the 340th blog post. Only 16 of those are mine. Well, 17, if you count this one. Jasmine gave me the idea of recording all my posts. I did not bother to record my comments, but while I was looking through the posts I did notice that there are not many comments.  I have about 25 comments on my posts if you don’t count my comments on the comments. That’s about 1.5 comments per post. No a whole lot. It does not look like others are doing any better.

I was wondering how we might get more action on the site. The 340 posts looks pretty good, but how many people are reading them, and how many are taking the time to comment. As we know from our students’ work, if they do not get responses, their work becomes less and less inspired. The same with me. If I have something to say, it would be nice to get some responses. Even criticism is better than nothing.

So how do we make this better? I have started making myself read other people’s posts and have been adding more comments. I think of it like correcting papers, not always fun, but necessary. The students need to get the feedback or why give them the assignments? Maybe you have some ideas. Leave a comment.
