Adding comments that boost the conversation and that usually do not repeat what has already been said is very critical. At the same point in time, having a newer blog accompanied by a smaller community, I still always appreciate even one of the most simple comments including "I really enjoyed this approach post", "thanks for writing about this topic" etc...it really is nice to be reassured that men and women appreciate what you're writing. This may be less acceptable essential for bigger, more popular personal blogs.
