The blogs I read most frequently are never the ones that sticj to just one topic. I totally agree Josh. The blogs I read most frequently are never the ones that sticj to just one topic.

I agree that it would be nice to have people stick in a comment or two every now and then, but I find that writing is therapeutic--regardless of how many people read it or comment. I wouldn't worry about the numbers. On the flip side, it's 25-30 people who come to your spot and listen to what you have to say. Compared to my little cubicle world, that's pretty good.

I've had my blog for between two and a half and three and a half years. I've tried to blather about design but, as my tagline goes, it's also about living in Portland and other things I happen to note in passing. I've tried hard not to be "that guy", but apparently I'm still not doing it right. Most days I only get 25-30 visitors, rarely do people leave comments, and precious little link love I send out comes back. Mind you, I'm grateful for the links, comments and visitors I <i>do</i> have, but apparently, in some cases, trying not to be "that guy" just isn't enough. Just my two bits here, of course.
