This morning I just did a little review of my blogging stats. The final conclusion is this: It really doesn't matter what I do.
I'm serious about that. It appears that occasionally people happen across my blog and take a peek. The statistics say that happens about 10 times a day or so. The reason I believe this to be the phenomenon is that I haven't blogged since January 24th, and the numbers aren't really changing. At one point I thought maybe a few people were interested in some of the topics and conversations that were being held here. Some of that may be true, but it doesn't seem like that is the overwhelming majority.
Now, that being said, I did have almost 800 hits in one month (compared to the 300 or so recently), so there may still be some interest in at least something. There were a few good articles and events happening that were the reference, so my interest has again been stimulated. I'm wondering if this month (April) will show any more activity if I post a couple of items. We'll give it a shot and find out.
With about 50 posts so far on this site, some have received a few comments and some none. Hopefully a few people have even gotten an insight, been informed on a topic, or caught a phrase that made them think about something for a moment. That is what I hope. I have generally tried to post things that were somewhat thought provoking and had some level of importance. Not always, but generally. It is my intent to keep with that concept, but I also believe it may just be flat out fun to toss in some other items along the way.
So with no guarantees, no expectations, and at least some level of genuine determination...let's see what April brings.
