We Did It–3,000 Hits

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Thanks to you, my readers, for the first time ever, this blog has received 3,000 hits in a month. I think this is where I’m supposed to shout “Excelsior!” And I would, too, if I was sure of what it means.

If you really like this blog, remember: it was created to generate interest in my books and helpfully recruit some readers for them. For more information, just click “Books” at the top of the page for covers, blurbs, and sample chapters. The Archives also include a number of reviews.

Anyhow, thank you, one and all. As Popeye used to say, “We aims t’please.”

No, I’m not talking baseball here–I mean 3,000 hits on this blog for the month of September.

I’ve never reached 3,000 hits in a month, but I’m sooooo close! Another 200 will do it.

So if you like this blog, and wish to support it, please turn out in force, tonight and during the next two days. Tell your friends about it! Browse the Archives for articles you’ve missed. Click “Books” and enjoy the artwork and the blurbs.

Hey, it’s free.

What’s Wrong With This Blog?

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

My WordPress Reader makes it easy for me to visit other blogs; and lately I’ve noticed something about them that makes me wonder about my own.

I keep running into blogs that have thousands of followers and more hits every day than you can shake a stick at. My blog is in its fifth year and has only 200 followers. Because there’s nothing about the other blogs that strikes me as unusual–they’re just nice blogs that I enjoy reading–it makes me think there must be something that I ought to be doing but that I don’t know I ought to be doing.

To make it even more confusing, at least to me, my Twitter page, which mostly just links to this blog, has almost 2,000 followers. Doh! I will have to ask an expert about this.

Anyhow, given that virtually everyone knows more about computers and blogs and social media than I do, please feel free to offer your advice.
