I recently started out my first blog which has ever found any audience at all. The response has been amazing and it's been a very rewarding experience both personally and professionally, and I hope to keep it up.

I agree with most of the article's points, except when it comes to commenting. My thinking is that commenting systems often degrade into back-and-forth, one-on-one bickering and end up distracting from the main points being raised in the blog post.

The exception of course, would be technical blog posts, where comment threads often include more in depth tips, corrections, and tidbits of related information.
