Quick 8: Where I Beg for Comments

A few thoughts on the blog and my attempt to actually get people to read it.
  1. Comments - If you are one of the few people who read the blog, please, please register for a Google account and leave comments! I promise that from this day forward I will respond to every comment posted on the blog.
  2. Twitter - Yes, the 8 things will begin twittering soon. Initially, the twitters will be about current content, but I hope to branch into original content for Twitter. Why? Well, now that even the Republicans are twittering, it's time I got off my butt and treated the technology with some respect.
  3. Facebook - I will also be creating a Facebook account for the blog. Hopefully, I can use it to drive new traffic.
  4. Friends - Do you have friends? If you do, tell them how wonderful I am and how awesome my blog is. You don't have to believe it ... 
  5. Digg - I've been told social bookmarking is my friend. Anyone know anything more about it?
  6. Reddit - Again with the social bookmarking. Will it work? Will it help?
  7. StumbleUpon - What the hell ... more social bookmarking? Will it drive some traffic my way or will it just show how lame my site is to have such a small readership?
  8. Quality - Okay. I think the blog has gotten much better the past few weeks and I hope you agree. I've committed to myself to keep doing this and I will strive to get better. I can do this.
The links to the social networking sites above will appear on the side menus over the next week. Once you see them posted, check them out and let me know what you think. If you have any suggestions for driving readership. leave a comment!

Most importantly, for those of you that have been reading so far, thanks. Forward we march.

I can digg, reddit and stumble your blog but unfortunately I have no friends so I can't recruit readers for you :-( I will be your facebook friend and follow you on twitter :-) You should plurk too :-)

A big thanks to Nicole! Her addition of one of my pages to reddit led to the largest number of hits I've ever had in a single day.

Thank you! Thank you!

And I love you.
