Still, they could still share the process and not be specific, so people are aware and interested in what's the latest goings on.

i'm still trying to figure out how to get people there in the first place. I have the blog connected to my website. I've had it up for about a year (maybe a little longer)

I had a "counter" but when I made some updates on my blog, the darn thing disappeared. Still, the weekly updates are not flattering. Few make comments.

I try to keep topics interesting and fun–and varied. Perhaps it was a long space of time when I didn't blog at all (six months or so) ever since, I've had trouble building back my readership.

Any ideas?

Pat
