I used to, but found it attracted far too many spam-like comments. Hi Eve, no, I don’t have “followed” comment links. I used to, but found it attracted far too many spam-like comments.

(at present I have zero traffic!) I ignored blogging and posting comments until now and these were the BIGGEST mistakes I made (You won't believe if I tell you that this is my first comment on someone's blog!). So, instead of paying for AdWords which did not get many sales, I rather blog and leave comments to get the valuable links. By the way, do you "do-follow"?

I haven't got there yet but still learning. I also made the mistakes of starting out with in a different directory and had to move my blog in the root directory. Neglecting my article headlines. Not writing as if I’m talking, to build up trust with your visiters they have to get to know you. If they get to know you and they get to like you for you there are sure to come back and visit. I have also learnt that, if your blog reads like an article directory they will certainly not get to know you but instead you may just end up boring them to death.

I managed to solve the problem; I have changed the settings from the navigation bar, from the blog and everything came back to normal. I have the blog for two years, but it was like a journal, I didn`t know what blogging was really about; now I`m learning and I like it more and more! Thanks for answering. Have a good day!

No need to apologise at all. Where is this flag button you clicked? I’m not sure what you’re referring to, as I don’t have one on my browser.

Now, every time I access my blog, the flag is red and I have to click again to turn it off. Do you have any idea what I should do to turn it off? I searched a lot for solutions but I didn't find it anywhere. Again, sorry if it's a dumb question, but I had to ask. Mary Hey David,

I still have music on my blog, but I recently removed the autoplay feature giving the reader the choice. I had other bloggers tell me this could make people leave really quickly unless your blog is all about music or related topics, but my blog is about health, skincare and ones well being so it may shock someone not expecting it when the page loads. What cinched this for me, is I did find one reviewer of my blog who wrote how much she loved the articles but found the music annoying and apologized to her readers. One thing I have learned, one person that speaks up may be representative of those who don't and just go elsewhere. I heeded her remark and now my readers have the choice to listen or not.
