More to look at, especially because many people don't read the words.

And, I think an interesting, not-too-complicated recipe for a dish that also looks incredibly appealing is critical for maximum comments (assuming, for the moment, that getting comments is your goal). Finally, great photos seem to speak louder than words. Get a photo on TasteSpotting and/or Foodgawker for just such a recipe, and you're good to go. (Get photos for the same post at the same time on both those sites and look out!) My non-scientific impression is that most people who visit those two photo sites tend to click through more frequently to simpler recipes (cookies, muffins, etc.) vs. tougher stuff (fancy cakes, yeast breads, etc.).
