I'm guilty of not commenting as often as I should. I get the feeling that Steemit is so young that the user base is primarily content creators. We're all preoccupied creating our own stuff! With time we'll see more pure fans and readers. Hang in there, your work is worth keeping around!
No sweat, just keep working on your stuff :) I have the simple webcomic-site in php if you are interested. You can write me through the website if you want to see it - It works like a charm
