It is really fun, and I agree that it helps you really condense your thoughts, and I get a lot of my own value in the creative process by reading and participating in other people's blogs!

Do keep trying it, in case it's just a traffic block somewhere between you and it on the 'net, because it's an excellent post -- long, but well worth the time to read (twice!).

I started to do it more often and I was surprised how helpful it is to get "involved". You get a few people who follow the link back to your own site as well which is always nice, but the real value is that is helps to develop the community as a whole. It pays off in spades if you take the time to leave a well thought out, meaningful comment. Yeah, I have been terrible at commenting.

If you can't contribute more than that, please just keep your thoughts to yourself. Arghhhh... I think commenting is a wonderful way to:

- contribute to the conversation with affirmation and additional info
- stimulate the debate with new ideas
- show your support for the blog/blogger in question
- get a link back to your own site

Sadly that article was a little too popular and shortly after making it to del.icio.us' popular list my dreamhost account decided that serving so many people really wasn't its kind of thing :-( Alas the price of popularity! Never mind tomorrow I shall be switching to a pricier but hopefully more stable server. In any case it all started here at this post as far as i can tell, so thanks! Thanks for the link up Darren.
