Don't you like it when a blog post about storytelling finishes with the obligatory 5 lines on "oh by the way, we want comments to make it seem like our blog is hugely popular. tell us your comments on the subject!"

Looks like they forgot to tell the story of why comments would enhance their content. Fail.

Wow. The first comment on HN in a long while that made we wish for a down arrow.

Bloggers who want engagement often make the request for comments appear very cliched. It's a key spot for improvement in many blogs, and your point "tell the story of why comments would enhance [this] content" seems like a good direction to give to bloggers.

Do you have an example of this done well?
