So I didn't even know you were posting away until I checked today.

Or ...Hey, I didn't realize you were blogging again! Or I would have been leaving comments... :-D<BR/><BR/>I have figured out in the last six months since I've been monitoring the activity on my blogs that you have to do it at LEAST once a week, if not more, just to keep people coming back. I will keep checking blogs for a week or two, then stop if nothing new is posted until I check randomly.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes blogging to no apparent audience seems like a futile or frustrating exercise, but it works little by little, and if you are ever published, you will have a built in network of promoters. Make sense?<BR/><BR/>Also have figured out that linking to others blogs frequently in your postings brings them to your blog and often garners mentions of yours. Everyone loves reading about themselves. ;-)<BR/><BR/>I've almost doubled the traffic on my blogs every month since I started doing these things, I think.<BR/><BR/>So, now that I see you're blogging again, I'll be back ... unless you slack off again. :-PJulie Kiblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07914386223833117415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32569540.post-54289461435178636712008-02-22T05:13:00.000-07:002008-02-22T05:13:00.000-07:00the problem is, I get lazy.
