		<description>Hi, Damon. I&#039;m checking in 7 months after writing the comment above, and yes, people are reading and commenting. We&#039;re getting closer to the community that I envisioned talking about sex and aging. 

And you! I can see from what I&#039;m reading here that you&#039;ve been busy and successful, and you certainly deserve that!

		<description>Hi Joan,

Thanks for stopping by! It&#039;s rough to get commentary on one&#039;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&#039;re doing.</description>

		<description>&gt;  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&#039;m enjoying reading your blog, Damon. Hope you&#039;ll visit mine!
