Of course, it only makes a difference if people actually read the previous posts, and that doesn't happen often (but my trusty Statcounter tells me it does happen sometimes). And I suppose some people write only for themselves, but I'm not one of them. Comments, links, and feedback in general keep me going. Whether or not the world is a better place for it, I don't know.

Usually when I'm want people to comment on something. Like my recent request for song suggestions post. I left that up for three days, when usually I post daily (I have no life) I don't think there is anything wrong with that tactic however, it's just part of the fluidity that is blog writing. Dan H.

And then, when I thought I should write another post already, I kept the link to that blog post in the sidebar where everybody could see it and labeled it "Important Articles! Please Read!".

I have posted hastily to push down a bad post though. Take Care Michael It’s been a while since I have written anything that I would want to linger on.

I don't think you can be a writer without "crafting", without strategy. No real writer wants to go unread, right? I have more readers than when I first began earlier this year. There's one particular post I really want to rerun, I'd really love for more people see it, get a chance to comment. So why shouldn't I? I don't know why....it seems....self-indulgent.

But more often, I feel like I'm writing for myself and if others find it interesting, that's great. I can't deny basking in positive comments on a good post though. I have done that!
