a little help from my friends......

When I look at my number of followers, I get happy.  412.  That is a lot.  That's 412 more than I thought I would ever have.

On the otherhand, when I look at my comments, I get sad.  Sometimes I get 10 or 11 but usually it's 2 or 3.  This makes me think that the whole followers is just "a number" and maybe doesn't matter as much as everything thinks it does.

How do you other experienced bloggers get more comments?  I comment as much as I can on other people's blogs but I want more.

I would love your advice.........or your comments.
