John, Amy's right on the money with her strategic commenting concept. I'm a follower of that philosophy, too. I try to leave a thoughtful, helpful comment at every post I visit - crazy, huh? But I feel that I can do more good that way. Hey, if we go around visiting people's homes and never say a word, how are they to know what we think? (Granted, sometimes you really don't need to or shouldn't say anything at all.)
I highly recommend a free tool to you called coComment. It helps me track my comments (including this one) and has increased my productivity. I care more about the comments I leave, as well.
Your blog looks interesting, I think I'll have a look around ... nice to meet you, John!

My sole reason for ever commenting at dot-dot-dot was to harness its huge audience-building potential.
And I've been amply rewarded.
