When you start blogging one of the biggest challenges can be getting the “party started” with regards to comments. It can be difficult to get people to comment until you’ve established more of a following which can be very discouraging to newbies.
At BMB, we like to encourage the community spirit as much as possible. For those that want a little kickstart with comments on their blogs, we’re organising comments groups for April.
This is how it works: Fill out the form below before 29 March and we’ll put you in a group of 10 bloggers. Then all you have to do is make sure you visit the blogs in your group at least once a week, and leave comments if you feel you have something to add.
It’s a bit like being placed in an NCT Group after you’ve had your first baby. Hopefully some real “blog” friendships will blossom.
**Thank you to the 77 bloggers who have signed up for the FIRST BMB Comment Group. Registration is now closed however, there will be another oppportunity next month to register for the next comment group. Until then, happy Blogging!

We're a little slow to get involved with this - but definitely want to take part next month. When will you be doing it again? As newbies, it is DEFINITELY frustrating that we're not getting many comments x

What a great idea - thanks, Karin, for organising it. I've been blogging for ages, but have joined as I think it's a really nice way to encourage and support new bloggers. (And maybe make some new friends, too).
