A very useful post in deed @inquiringtimes! You are right to point out that there isn't a handy comment writing outline... until now. Well said!
I think @fury123's comment strikes on an extremely good reason to make good comments:
I admit I have gotten better response on my comments than my posts
This is key. To really gain followers who are engaged in your blog, you need to go out and make use of the comments ability to engage with other people to make them interested in going back to your blog to see what your posts are about. Fury is on the right path to success! Get people talking to you in their comments section, and sooner or later they will check out what you are doing on your page.
The one suggestion I would add; in order to get some really good engagement, is to find something in the post you have a genuine question about, and make your comment contain a question that invites the author to respond back. You can then have a long back and forth in their comments section that helps form the bond which inspires them to.... you guessed it... check out your blog.
This is especially important when there are heaps of comments praising the author. Your question mark may stick out to them, and draw them closer to your comment, that they then want to reply back. And maybe even give you an upvote for a thoughtful question in their comment section.
Thanks for a great post! Have a wonderful day!!
