Ah now that’s getting more interesting: I have direct evidence that at least six people scanned their eyes over Blogsworth since my last posting. This can only be because of my attention-seeking behaviour.
The most effective action was emailing Biz Stone. A blogger of considerable repute Biz’s status in the blogosphere (see – I’m getting the lingo) is such that people buy his book to find out how he puts together an effortlessly engaging daily fix of links and commentary. The self-proclaimed genius put a link to Blogsworth on his page... generous genius.
Then I created the link to Bloghop, a site which adds the feature at the bottom of this page enabling people to rate Blogsworth. The first judgement I got was somebody “hated it”… that was all the response I had for days. It was only when four others enthused “I love it!” that I came round to instant feedback, something print media shields you from.
And my own rating? Blogsworth certainly isn’t the best web-log on the internet, but it’s not the worst. In time, using some of the links commentators have sent me, Blogsworth’ll improve. (Am trying out Blogsnob top-left-hand-corner ad– thank you Ano Nymous)
I’m following advice now actually: post more frequently, and when interested people come back there’s something for them. There was a health warning attached however: the more you blog, the more addictive it gets. Is this goodbye social life?
