The one I've worked hardest at has a feed and I know people must be subscribed. I get maybe 2 comments a month. I run into people who know me from that blog so that is pretty cool. But why no comments and how to get them?
I'd suggest making an effort to ensure that your blog entries are open-ended. Put out your thoughts but directly encourage others to rebut or reinforce your thoughts. Openly solicit comments.

I see a lot of blog entries where the poster puts out his thoughts on a subject but then just leaves it at that. If people percieve your posts as being 'the authority' on a subject, they're much less likely to add their own thoughts as comments.
