I spent some time doing research for the site today. I added in some tracking stuff (Site Meter) to see how many people actually come here - I suspect this will be a humbling experience. Then I also looked into comments quite a bit. I looked through some pre-built comment systems and even spec'd out a custom solution but didn't really like any of those options. Right now I'm thinking I'll go with a message board system. I even found a few that look good but I need to get PHP up and running here first. Fortunately my host allows this but they have to turn it on. I made the request and given my past experience with them they should have it up within a day or so.
So I guess the feedback loop will have to wait for a few more days...
