Blogger Blather

They say that if you’re going to have a successful blog—one that has a devoted following—you need to post at least twice a week, and every day is better.

But I’d like to know who has time to read that much blogging? Let’s take a poll. Raise your hand if you delete every single forward you find in your inbox. Be honest now. And I’m sure you all check out every single link you get, too. And all the related links.

What I’d really like to know is how do you get people to read your blog faithfully in the first place?

If I blogged twice a week (much less every day), I’d never get any other writing done.

But then again, if that’s the case, what the heck am I doing writing a blog entry today?

It’s time to get to work, Kate!

I just blog for friends and family, so I'm not trying to go for numbers on my regular blog . . . which I haven't posted anything on in a while because I've been working on my far more professional-looking blog: www.joyomin.com

To increase my numbers there I've only found one strategy that works so far and that is by participating in a Catholic carnival: http://blogcarnival.com/bc/submit_52.html
