I have been posting on this web site for over three years now. For the first three years I received little or no activity on the site; a couple of subscribers and a couple of comments. And by a couple, I mean one or two literally.
I am not complaining as this was my web site for my own vanity and my own rants and thoughts.
Somewhere about two months or so ago, everything changed. Some service started listing me and I started getting a great deal of readership and comments. It is kind of flattering to all of a sudden being discovered. Because of this change I think I should say a few things about this:
- I read every comment and approve the vast majority of comments, even if they are negative. I must say the majority are positive but the negative ones have their place as well as long as they are constructive and not rants.
- If someone’s comment is obviously a spam attack, I report it as such and you will not see it.
- If you refer to your web site in your comment, I will generally delete the comment. This is not a place to advertise your site. Some exceptions are made and are based upon the contents of your comments.
- If your comment is gibberish or I cannot understand it, I delete it. Otherwise, it stays in.
- I respond to comments when I am in the mood. Otherwise, I let them stand.
- I have not interest in having guest posters. This is my site for my pleasure. Conversely, I am not interested in posting on someone else’s site. If you want my input on your site; link my site.
- My service provider is BlueHost and I am using WordPress and the free theme of Shamrock at present. I started my website by looking on the internet and finding a step-by-step guide on how to start one. It was with a person (forget who) that walked me through it, including some widgets and plug-ins. BTW: he touted BlueHost which has worked well for me but watch it; if you already have a site name it will cost you to move to BlueHost, something I didn’t know until I did it.
- Lastly: even though I am flattered and impressed that there are actually real people (and not just friends and family) looking at my site, I will keep posting what I always have. And that is what interest me at the moment. I hope I am never influenced by the fact that I have an audience. Otherwise, it spoils the whole thing for me.
Aw, this was an extremely nice post. Spending some time and actual effort to generate a really good article… but what can I say… I put things off a lot and don’t seem to get anything done.
Nice blog here! Also your website loads up very fast!
What web host are you using? Can I get your affiliate link to
your host? I wish my website loaded up as fast as yours lol
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic
to be really something which I think I would never understand.
It seems too complex and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I
will try to get the hang of it! adreamoftrains website hosting services
