1:11 am ambercleveland: @SbuxMel I agree, I think it gives a chance for interaction & sharing. Did post today about how I like that http://bit.ly/shsoup #blogchat
1:11 am AngEngland: @KarlaAntelli I think you just touch base when you're able, share of yourself, and keep it real. Even w/larger #'s it works. #blogchat
1:11 am RLMadMan: @dstevenwhite I try not to touch a post unless there is a really gratuitous spelling error or something like that. #blogchat

1:11 am joey_strawn: @dstevenwhite I do the same thing, I've found after the first few days I just have to make myself walk away and let it sit. #blogchat
1:11 am TheSportsMole: Good evening everyone, check out the Sports Mole Blog http://bit.ly/9NE0NN What's everyone talking about tonight? #blogchat

1:11 am KevinLyons: @prosperitygal @MackCollier I'm using Facebook's social plugin as a replacement comment system on a client's blog. Works great. #blogchat
1:11 am pushingsocial: @cherylfenton Keep caring about comments, just need to fix your "engagement" triggers in your posts #blogchat

1:11 am Scribnia: Hey guys, whats crackin? #blogchat
1:11 am salamicat: #blogchat I really didn't know what a blog WAS when I started. I just thought of it as a way to self publish my writing
1:11 am fontanians: @jacobm Hi Jacob, I went customized. it's really important 2 me that the blog be visually striking. First impressions & all that. #blogchat
1:11 am danperezfilms: @asiler112 @chrisyates11 @alisonlewis How do you get people to read your "interesting content"? #blogchat
1:11 am NicWirtz: @readywriting #blogchat Best way to encourage archives is post your top 5 most viewed posts. Plugins available for this.
1:11 am frankdickinson: @WriterChanelle -> New windows for me #blogchat
1:11 am jesseluna: @readywriting I've been testing using "Popular Articles" section on blog. Has increased pageview counts. #blogchat
1:11 am RLMadMan: @cherylfenton I have a similar problem. Get tons of nice compliments but very few comments. Wondering if dispersing is a problem. #blogchat
1:11 am DryerBuzz: ditto RT @corettajackson: Q: What are you using to manage #blogchat tonight? I am using tweetchat... #blogchat
1:11 am ambercleveland: @jb140 can you tell me how to add the plug-in or can I just search on Wordpress? #blogchat
1:12 am CheeselessMom: @WriterChanelle That is a really good idea - highlighting user comments #blogchat
1:12 am prosperitygal: @LouImbriano what do you mean pop up, googles ads is a program you sign up for #blogchat

1:12 am centsiblelife: @hchybinski @cherylfenton not important-but they do make you feel heard. Encourage comments by asking a ? at the end of yr post. #blogchat
1:12 am hacool: @dstevenwhite That's hard. When it makes sense and typos are caught it's done. The quest for perfection can preclude completion. #blogchat
1:12 am WriterChanelle: @trainingfactor Yes...I'm not getting any at all. And I know I've guest posted with my link in the bio #blogchat
1:12 am readywriting: @pushingsocial Ive started interlinking. I'm also doing a bi-weekly tweet from the archives. #blogchat
1:12 am laurenkgray: @salamicat @NicWirtz #blogchat I don't remove any comments. Bad or good, and I always respond to every comment.
1:12 am joanne_askpatty: @Mandy_Vavrinak Yes, of course. But blogs often blur the line between business and personal, just like twitter does. Strategies? #blogchat
1:12 am Scribnia: @KevinLyons how does the facebook social plug in replace comments? #blogchat
1:12 am kathybabb: @cherylfenton I think #blogchat has discussed how twitter has reduced or eliminated comments. But any chatter is good, right?

1:12 am MarandaGibson: Good question. Wondering myself. RT @antwizzel: How do you guys find blogs to guest blog for? What's the best way to do that? #blogchat

1:13 am CJAnyasor: @alisonlewis #blogchat Stumbleupon is a great site for getting uncommitted readers to your blog. Conversions are terrible.
1:13 am kathybabb: @DryerBuzz TweetChat is good! Finally slowed down my refresh speed to 21 seconds. Had to with #blogchat!
