The Business of Blogging






When I started blogging in January, I was determined to post weekly - every week - and so far I have done so.   The blogging program or the little gremlin who resides in my blogville keeps a record of every article view.  So at any time I know how many people have looked at any post.  This is in addition to the individuals who subscribe. They don't get counted here, but a separate gremlin keeps track of how many subscribers there are, but will never reveal their names.  Maybe it's a HIPPA gremlin and he/she is protecting their privacy.

After working part of last weekend to complete my post on The Troublesome Executive Director, it was intersting to note that for the first few days fewer than 20 people read that post, while more than 350 read Questions to ask before joining a non-profit board.  Blog readers clearly pick and choose and do not necessarily read in the order in which posts are published. Maybe it's like real estate where buyers tell you if your house is priced correctly by making an offer somewhere near your asking price or not.  Blog readers tell you if you have hit on a topic that is of interest or not. So maybe my "guesser" needs a little fine tuning or I need some feedback from readers.  If you have specific topics of interest, please let me know.  

So..... would anyone notice if I skipped a week?  Maybe not, so I am going to chance it and spend the rest of today  in the garden.  Unfortunately, I don't have any gardening gremlins and if the weeds are going to go, I have to be the one to ensure that happens.

Until next time,
Pat
