Obviously I'd prefer to see comments on the blog post, but if you don't link to the blog from somewhere on the forums, unless the blog post is put on the home page (which has happened for many of my posts but not this one, as of yet) no one sees it.

New posts to the forum get at a minimum a) chat room notifications and b) show up on the "new posts" page which is how I keep an eye on the forums so I assume is how others do as well.

So as khat said, just comment on the blog rather than here, this is more just a notification thread.
