Thanks for sharing! I believe it’s crucial to build community on your blog. Without one, you’ll not be able to engage with your readers in a friendly and informal way. Your tips are really helpful.

Wow what a great article. Building a community in a blog or site I guess can really make them more engaging. This would mean more traffic plus better page ranking.

The whole concept of blog sites being communities is an interesting one. The building of the community is one of those core tasks that many successful bloggers promote as being essential to the success of the blog. And that part certainly makes sense to me. But my question is, can a blog, no matter how wildly successful it becomes, ever measure up to the definition of community in the truest sense of the word? Sure, a great blog will generate a number of interactions/exchanges with its subscribers, and there may be some interactions between the subscribers themselves, via a few lines in a comments box, (such as this), or a few separate email exchanges even. And there are a few very rare occasions that subscribers might choose to meet face to face at a blogging conference or seminar. But overall, are these interactions (or whatever we want to call them), which are usually confined to the virtual world, really of the substance that would constitute a community? And if a successful blog suddenly shuts down tomorrow, for whatever reason, does that community continue to exist? Do members/subscribers continue to build connections of substance with each other, that really endure across the years, and can those interactions flourish separately and independently from the blog where they originated? Maybe I’m getting too bogged down with this word ‘community’….Thanks again!

Hi Denise,

I am very blessed that I have such a wonderful community over at my place. Very supportive and loyal readers.

I’m definitely going to look into that pop-up that Kristi has on her blog. I mean I never run out of ideas but I definitely prefer giving my readers what they want instead of me just sharing what I know. I get interaction on my fan page but not everyone on my blog is over there so I think that’s really a great idea. I’ll start there. 🙂

I’ll let you know how that goes, thanks so much for sharing that.
