As a blogger, you want to know what your audience thinks about you. If you're like most bloggers, you probably spend all day reading comments on your blog. But how do you know what your readers are thinking? Sure, sometimes it's obvious: Someone who comments on your post about how much they love your new hair color is just jealous, right? Or maybe someone who says they wish they had time to make their own art just wants to be acknowledged for their talent.
But there are also more subtle things that can come through in comments—things like whether people feel like your posts are too personal or if they feel like they could relate to some of the content of your posts.
You want to know these things because you want to make sure that every single person who reads your blog feels connected and understood by what you write. It will help you improve your writing. It's so easy to get caught up in the process of creating content and writing, but if you really want to make a difference in the world, then you have to be able to think critically about what your audience thinks of you. You can't just write whatever comes into your head because that's not how blogging works. You have to listen to what people are saying about yourself and reflect on their responses before moving forward with another post or article.
