Six months of blogging

Blogging is difficult because a lot of times I have no idea what to write, and I’ve settled on trying to ensure I have a new post every one to two days.  I also try to involve the lives of my readers in the blog, when I have their permission.

A few days ago I wrote about my reader Sally as emblematic of one important reason I continue doing this blog.  Even though GoDaddy’s software sucks like a donkey (NEVER USE GODADDY – USE WORDPRESS OR BLOGGER) and has made it a challenge for spiders and web crawlers to find some of my posts, I’ve been happy with my traffic (click to enlarge):

So…

THANK YOU READERS!  For being part of my life, and allowing me to be part of yours.

And last but not least:

Thank you Pete Forsyth of Puddletown Consulting, without whom this site would still be below 10K a month.  Forsyth’s search engine optimization, hard work, foresight and his in-depth knowledge of the tubes that make up the Internets helped my blog’s direction and web traffic, despite GoDaddy’s crapware.
