I hope you don't take this wrong, but I'd just make a couple of points.
First, you don't write all that often. YOu've done 9 blogs total so far this year. There's nothing wrong with that, but you can't expect to get the traffic that people who write a lot more gets. People check in on your blog as often as you update it. Someone who writes 10 antagonistic articles a day is always going to get more response than an honest blogger like you.
Second, you do get traffic. All of your recent blogs have comments 4+. THere's a lot of people around here that get a lot less comments than you. Look at your "coke machine" blog. Do you think the average person around here who blogs on something like that gets that many comments?
Lastly, do you really think with JUs traffic as it is, you'll have more readers on your own site? To me, that's like someone with a store in a mall complaining about not getting enough attention and moving it into the sticks.
Your articles will be missed, whether you believe it or not. At least we'll still have you around.
