Blogs that have anything to do with education are rarely visited in high numbers on a regular basis. We're not sexy, not very controversial, not filled with cute puppy/kitten pictures, and not particularly interesting except to a few other educators who understand what blogging is all about. Far too many of my faculty associates still look at me funny when I tell them that I blog.
As a close friend of mine said recently when he found out about Chasing the Dragon's Tale, "I told my wife that I wanted to blog...she said, If you do, you'll have to clean it up yourself!" (Thanks, Breakfast Bob)
Which brings me to the point of all this: I envy those who are able to generate hundreds of visitors each day to their blogs. I contribute to that number every day, because I appreciate what it takes to keep things interesting and like to encourage others to keep up their efforts. To those of you who are just getting started with blogging and wonder why there aren't tons of comments, and your sitemeter seems to be stuck at 10...get over it! It is a phase that nearly every blogger that I know has gone through. Be yourself, be consistent, be interesting, have some fun...contribute comments to blogs that interest you. In time, the traffic will grow or like 66% of bloggers, you'll abandon the effort. But traffic isn't everything, I think love and money have the corner on that market.
