That has really decreased comments. Google also did a major change which seems to have downgraded WP.com blogs. Try pinging Google manually by going to http://Pingomatic.com when you make a new post.

Before, I was averaging 300+ views a day and have about 170 subscribers and would get tons of likes and comments on my posts. But lately I haven't been getting much of anything. Has there been an update or is the site undergoing maintenance? Something else? I even resubmitted my site to the search engines today.

PS. I live in China where wordpress is blocked so I may have missed out on some news somewhere.
