Well, there really is not a community of one. So by creating interesting topics to draw interest to readers, and by commenting on other similar topic blogs with appropriate comments as well as a link to your own blog, will begin to build a community.
In the Blue Skunk Blog, they discussed that writers write to be read. One way of knowing if your work is being read, is through the use of comments. In addition to receiving a comment, this author also finds value in validating the comment with a follow up comment, even if it is only "thanks". The Pro Blogger also states that Interaction with comments is valuable much for the same reasons, but also to learn why their readers read.
The cool cat teacher includes to make your comments meaningful. This makes a lot of sense in that if the blog means something to you, and you provide a relevant meaningful comment, than you very well may encourage more meaningful posts from other readers and additional posts from the blogger.
I have chosen to follow several other bloggers in this class, largely because I have shared similar interests or shared other classes. I commented on similar thoughts or nice ideas that I had not thought of before.
