Den of the Beastly Bear
Hi Folks!
I admit to being a little confused....
I've been churning out a daily blog since January first...this makes me a newby at this blogging game, so any help from the veterans is appreciated.
What confuses me is what people like and what they don't...
There are blogs I've slapped together on a wing and a prayer...high readership.
Then there are blogs that I have carefully crafted, rewritten, reworded, honed to tell the story just the way I want to express it...barely gets read.
Perhaps my fault is in the blog titles...
Sometimes maybe I try to be too witty by giving a title you won't fully understand until you read the piece, sometimes I try a little misdirection...so you think it's about one thing when in fact it's about another.
Am I shooting myself in the foot here? Trying to be too clever???
Each one of these little creations I send out into the world with high hopes...and by and large I am thrilled that so many actually take the time to read my ramblings.
But why one blog gets 2-3X the traffic of another befuddles me!
Sometimes I'm surprised by what "catches fire" and what does not...
Perhaps it's the rotating pictures I use as headers to my blog, I try to match the pic to the feel of the blog...angry, melancholy, cheeky, playful or reposed. Could it really be THAT simple?
In truth it's likely that I'm not a "topic specific" blog, I tend to wander where my twisted mind and conversations with friends take me...I hit upon an idea and run with it!
So any help folks? Ideas? Suggestions? Complaint's?
I also must budget my time better, ran out of time again today so I'm slapping this out on my lunch break at work...sloppy I know!
But whatcha gonna do?
Be Well Folks!
