		<description>Hi, Damon. I'm checking in 7 months after writing the comment above, and yes, people are reading and commenting. We're getting closer to the community that I envisioned talking about sex and aging. 

And you! I can see from what I'm reading here that you've been busy and successful, and you certainly deserve that!

		<description>Hi Joan,

Thanks for stopping by! It's rough to get commentary on one's site, for sure, though it is quite an accomplishment that you have regular traffic in itself! 

One of my favorite bloggers right now, at http://www.stevenberlinjohnson.com (he was at the ASJA conference), has two best-selling books. He still has many enteries with no comments on them. I think it just requires faith in your intended audience reading your website and, hopefully, following you into the print medium. With all the publicity-related stuff happening, it sounds like you just need to keep doing what you're doing.</description>

		<description>&#62;  It allows the writer to connect with others. It creates... a dialogue

Damon, I wish that were so! I created my blog,  http://www.betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com, hoping to stimulate a discussion of ageless sexuality after the publication of my book, Better Than I Ever Expected: Straight Talk about Sex After Sixty. People do read the blog, according to my site meter, but weeks go by between posted comments, no matter how provocative the topic. I wonder why. Any ideas?

I'm enjoying reading your blog, Damon. Hope you'll visit mine!
