Though most tech blogs for example, do have a news function. People want to know what the experts think or what they've stumbled upon. Yet in general I think you're right. Who is that 'someone' by the way? He sounds like a wise person. @erwin blom when it concerns personal- and special interest blogs I certainly agree with you.

Someone once said: "We don't pretend to tell you anymore what the truth is, together we are going to look for that truth." The blogs i like best are more than a newspaper with a comment function.

In the beginning you'll have to be careful with open questions. Yet that doesn't mean you can play with leaving stuff out. That would be a more subtle way for beginning blogs to convince the reader to comment. @Peter Evers, yes I certainly agree with you. In the beginning you’ll have to be careful with open questions.

But on the other hand I think it looks kind of silly when you end a post with an obvious question and people still don\'t comment. So I guess you'll have to find a balance between a complete article and an open ending that evokes reactions.
