I've actually written here about the impact it can have on people when you take the time to respond to those who communicate with you. I don't believe that the comment section of a post exists just to build up a comment number and make your stats look a little nicer. I believe it's a place to start a conversation amongst your community. Often when I comment on other websites I won't just respond to the author but also to others who have commented. I believe that the ultimate goal should be that the author communicates with the readers and the readers communicate with both the auther and each other. That is when real conversation begins to take place. I’m glad that you’re enjoying the site.

I can tell you care about your readers also because of the great format and because when I scrolled down I saw that you had wrote back to everyone who commented. That kind of effort and commitment by an author of sorts is deeply appreciated, thank you and keep up the great work. :) You made some amazing points about things here.

And your success will always be limited if you choose on one of those two options. Tell me which option we are using here at Site Sketch 101. I'd like to think that we are putting both of them to work here. You need the total package if you really want to attract readers. akira07 –> Maybe so, but that is the wrong way to look at things.

I'm understand now. I'm agree with u, but what i mean is, the good template is not a must. Because when i'm asked, you should choose one between : 1. Good content, bad design 2. Good design, bad content I'm sure mostly people choose the option no 1. But i'm agree, if we can do both, why not :D Ah..! I’m understand now.

Even the design is standard, but if the content is great, i think the blog can reach success also. Well, i'm already read your article about first impression but i think no need to use paid theme.
