		<description><![CDATA[Great blog post!

&lt;strong&gt;My blog posts with the most page views:&lt;/strong&gt;
- &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nathankowald.com/2006/05/i-sense-obsession-coming-along-italo.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;I sense an obsession coming along - ITALO DISCO&lt;/a&gt;
- &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nathankowald.com/2006/11/ray-ban-wayfarers-i-do.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Ray Ban Wayfarers... I do&lt;/a&gt;
- &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nathankowald.com/2005/12/i-cant-stop-burping.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;I can&#039;t stop burping&lt;/a&gt;
- &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nathankowald.com/2007/04/cant-sleep-too-much-mucus.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Can&#039;t Sleep.... Too Much Mucus&lt;/a&gt;
- &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nathankowald.com/2008/04/dion-mcgregor-sleep-talker-awesome.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Dion McGregor - Sleep Talker (AWESOME!)&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;My blog post with the most amount of comments:&lt;/strong&gt;
- &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nathankowald.com/2007/10/bookcrossing.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;BookCrossing&lt;/a&gt; (17 comments - hah, not many)

My bookcrossing post got the most comments because it was linked to from buzzfeed: http://buzzfeed.com/buzz/BookCrossing

The blog posts of mine that get the most hits are due to a blog subject or phrase that may not be very common on the internet.

&lt;strong&gt;My thoughts on getting good page views:&lt;/strong&gt;
- Blog about subjects which may not be massively popular already - add unique content
- Comment on other people&#039;s blogs - create community, as mentioned on the Love Digital Podcast ;)
- Get linked to from sites that get a lot of traffic; sites like digg, buzzfeed etc.


A while ago I created a text file to note down things which make a good blog article:

- Be Informative
- Use generous line spacing and large gaps between paragraphs.
- Use Metaphors, especially in Headings.

As you can see from there only being three points I never updated it ;)]]></description>
