No problem James – I see you posted on the community thing too! I've been a bit like a dying duck for the last few days or I'd have replied… I'll head over and do that now.

It is great when your readers start conversing together, isn't it? It starts to feel like you're introducing people to each other rather than expecting them to only talk to you.

Catch you later.

Hey brother, thanks for the mention top man!

I totally agree what you're saying here, for me the community is everything it shows the site owner is committed to delivering the message properly, a site could get 1,000 comments every post, but unless the readers and authors are talking to each other it's pointless.

I love it when my readers cross comment and reply to each other helping each other out, makes it worth while.

If you ever need anything just give me a shout

[...] Yeh, I know I said YouTube – but I ended up going with Vimeo instead. For links to the sites I was talking about, see last Thursday’s post on how community is key. [...]

Any time Mike. I think the other great thing about comments communities (oh, I think I just came up with a catchphrase) is the brilliant people you meet. I think I first encountered James (The Infopreneur) in the comments on your site… same with Robert. I met Johnny through a mutual blogging friend too. It just makes the Net a much more enjoyable place than only visiting sites for information and then leaving again.

Thanks for the mention Chris. And I agree with you – there are some blogs I read and where I enjoy the comments at least as much (sometimes more!) than the content itself.
