Frustrations of a Blogger

One of my friends has been blogging for years. He has a great blog, full of political commentary, business acumen and stories of worldly travels. Clearly he loves an audience. His frustration, however, is the lack of comments. He tracks the "clicks" and time spent on his site, so he knows he has an audience. But comments are few and far between.

I now know the frustration.

My husband thought it was a good idea to e-mail everyone we know with the announcement of my new blog. I was mortified. But it did create readership; I know you are reading because I too can see the number of "hits." But who is out there??

Blog reader lesson #1: Comment on the blog - using the Comment link at the end of each post (not e-mail). See the little word at the bottom of each entry that says, "comment" - there's a reason that is there.

So far there has been only one soul brave enough to publicly comment (thanks, Mark). Let me know what you like and don't like. Let me know when you disagree with me. Speak up; don't be shy!

Be a good blog reader.
