Still there\u00b4s a mystery that I can\u00b4t solve.  Why is it that my Spanish blog has 3 times the readership but 20 times the number of comments?  Maybe I should publish my English posts both in English and Spanish since I get more comments and readers.  Probably half of my Spanish readers speak English and I don\u00b4t like to translate my posts.  Once a Spanish reader told me that he was surprised that such few people read me in English.
