Honestly, I’ve got no idea. I have my own Tumblr blog with a ton of pals who read every day. But the short items aren’t very good at starting conversation.

Not even sure I’d have comments if I were you. Instead, I might focus on making things easy to share and rate (e.g., 1–5 stars, like / boo!). Allow your comments to reflect the ethos of your chosen short form.

Not disagreeing. Most of them respond via Twitter and FB.

Since it's just me, it's not easy to do the audience cultivation needed. If you have any thoughts on audience-building, as a fan, I'm all ears.

You guys could actually use a few more “fucktards”. Love the blog, but it’s a ghost town over here.
