When I thought about what I could write to elicit some comments I realized I should talk about how hard it is to do just that.In reading other blogs and posting in my own I've noticed that you can never tell which post is going to generate a lot of comment. It could be the post arguing that the world is flat or that dinosaurs still roam the planet generating endless debate. But it could just as easily be the one that innocently says you don't like the actress who plays Kendall on All My Children.
So what I've tried to learn is to just write what I want to write about and try not to angst too much about whether or not anyone is letting me know that they're listening. Easier said then done of course. I know that I've been guilty of checking and re-checking posts I've written to see if anyone has commented. But I've also tried to tell myself that just because no one has said anything, it doesn't mean they haven't read my post. I can believe, can't I?
In an effort to generate discussion for this post I'll ask you what are some of the blog subjects you've seen generate a lot of comment? Seen any flame wars start? Have you ever thought about posting a comment but been too shy to do so?

I like what you have to say, Veronica! And your new graphic is beyootiful! I am often too shy or lazy to post comments, or afraid that it will be "dumb".
When surfing the web, it seems that anything about Britney Spears elicits a ton of comments, as well as anything on politics, local or otherwise.
Hi Veronica,
I've started a blog, too - to keep up with all you Project Players - and have a hard time thinking of things to say. I've never been very confident in my writing - but I'm getting better.
I read a lot of blogs and admire those who are eloquent in expressing their opinion - and those are the ones I read often.
I've been commenting more than ever since we started Project Play as that's my main communication with the Players. Hopefully, it'll transfer out to the greater blogging world!
Keep on playing!
Jean
Time must be an issue. People are probably checking blogs, texting, emailing, etc., it would take a really emotional reaction, or a really 'talkative' person to take the time. But look at this...I'm #3 commentor for you!!
I can't believe the amount of play the Wyoming Libraries have gotten from their mudflap campaign out in the blogosphere. If nothing else, it has people talking.
