The blogger expresses gratitude for the connections built through blogging, apologizing for recent quietness due to comment issues. After resolving these technical problems with the help of a site developer, the blogger invites readers to leave comments again. Celebrating 18 years of blogging, they miss the community aspect of comments and hope to re-establish it. In appreciation for testing the comment section, the blogger will give away coffee cards and signed copies of their books to three commenters, encouraging them to share their locations and experiences.
"For the last few years I've received many emails from my blog readers who were having trouble leaving comments here. It was frustrating ... my site developer has figured out the cause and resolved it."
"This year I will be celebrating 18 years of blogging - I remember the early days when the comment section felt like a community! I miss that."
"I would LOVE to hear from you! Leave a comment on today's post below, and as a thank you for testing out the comment option, I will choose 3 of you at random to send a coffee card."
"Yet that's not the experience I want my friends to have here. ... I know readers enjoy connecting with others and reading their experiences too, so having the comments working is helpful for everyone."
