But I think a blog does tend to reach a "critical mass", when the number of posts and promotion gets enough to start dragging in a big flux of visitors. All of the big traffic surges in my blog have come suddenly, mostly after the 100 posts mark was reached.<BR/><BR/>BTW, my other blog <A HREF="http://thebigbyte.blogspot.com?src=dp_bumblebees" REL="nofollow">The Big Byte</A> hasn't yet reached that critical mass.<BR/><BR/>(Whew, that was a long "casual reply"!)<BR/><BR/>DavidAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10926083515508779822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051370101596909325.post-17275741100413150142007-09-16T14:08:00.000+10:002007-09-16T14:08:00.000+10:00This would also make my most commented article... ...This would also make my most commented article... I think for many blogs out there 19, now 20, comments is quite impressive. Though I must admit that secretly I would hope that someday I could climb to the 10+ comments per article rating... hehe, got a ways to go there.RBChallengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00104069882760040622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051370101596909325.post-31384860942385472722007-09-16T10:44:00.000+10:002007-09-16T10:44:00.000+10:00Hi Richard,This must be about the most commented p...Hi Richard,<BR/><BR/>This must be about the most commented post on my blog to date - 19 comments - no wonder you can't think of anything new to say!<BR/><BR/>As I mentioned to Cindy, this is also one of my favourite types of photos.
