Having spent some goodly time on writing my blog this morning, and having thought that I had done an equally goodly job, I came back from cycling to discover that eleven people had viewed it. I hereby thank the Eleven who have made it all worthwhile.
I just don’t get this medium. I could post crap on top ten things to do in Outer-Mongolia, if you are a vegan with a secret yak fetish, and that would probably get similar results. In truth, this is my worst nightmare as it combines a certain pride I have in my writing with a deep understanding of my fatal-flaw which means that I hate courting attention.
Happy Yakky!
I know what you mean. Sometimes I get a lot of views and “likes”, sometimes I hear crickets. There seems to be no rhyme or reason. I just keep plugging away…my dozen or so real followers are loyal.

I reckon it’s my fault, I oughtn’t not to be so egocentric.

A blog is pretty much an egocentric endeavor… We all want our posts to be read and liked.
At the end of the day are you writing because you like to write or because you want the “likes”?

It’s like praying, regardless of your belief you always want someone to be listening.

You’re preaching to the converted here. You put out what you believe is a gem of infinite delicacy, wit and beauty, a wonder of the English language and get nada for your troubles. Toss out a dashed-off piece of half-thought out ideas and ropy rhymes and it catches peoples attention.
Wordpress is a cruel bitc- er, mistress. But again as BKG above says, you keep plugging away. Also, it is a forum, and if people don’t visit, not a lot you can do. I will put out my efforts until it literally and literaturely is too much of an effort. Oh, and Outer Mongolia want their Yak back.
