You should widen it.<BR/><BR/>I think you should separate by sport, or at least football/non-football during football season, and the same with basketball in the Spring, and baseball in the summer.<BR/><BR/>People basically give up when the comments go over 30 or so. Plan for the future. What is manageable now might be awful in a couple more months. I think you should plan for success and having more comments in the future, not fewer.<BR/><BR/>Maybe you could squish posts right together vertically and then post single paragraphs without a ridiculous waste of space. Maybe find someone who knows the blog templates to come up with different prototypes? Something more unique?<BR/><BR/>btw, GREAT JOB with this blog.

For the most part, people that comment tend to focus on the things they want to comment on, and leave what doesn't interest them alone.<BR/><BR/>Also if you broke apart every single item, you wouldn't really see an increase in comments. You'd likely see a decline in comments, because at times, comments about a topic someone is less interested in can draw out more comments within the same thread, and having all your ideas spread into each individual thread would prevent this cross topic comment sparking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1164748050790247152006-11-28T16:07:00.000-05:002006-11-28T16:07:00.000-05:00I don't mind everything together, but how do you g...I don't mind everything together, but how do you get the HTML tags to work!?

I follow a few sports, so I like being able to comment and reply to all the topics of the day in one place, rather than having to go into 5 or 6 different threads to post comments, then checking again through 5 or 6 threads to see if anyone replied to what i said, etc. etc. If I find a comment about something I'm not interested iun, it is easy enough to scroll past it in my opinion.<BR/><BR/>I agree with Todd(Boston) though. I'm glad you decided to do this blog and I'm actually liking this better than the quickie on .com because I can interact with other readers.
