Wot No Articles?
November 14th, 2007
After a brief spurt of articles, I’ve slowed right down posting. It’s not accidental - it’s very considered in fact - and I thought it might be worth sharing a few plans.
I had a queue of about 90+ articles in draft ready to be finished and posted. At a rate of three per day, plus adding at least two more in draft form onto the queue I would have had the momentum to keep me going through to the end of the year.
I stepped back though and thought about why I wanted to publish here, what this blog was for, and whether that was a sensible strategy. I started asking whether I should care if this tool does this or that tool does that.
There are much bigger ideas we’re heading towards that need something more thoughtful than twenty blog articles a week.
I have yet decide my approach, but what readers enjoy matters. I get virtually no feedback about what people like beyond Google Analytics tells me, and it tells me little. I get few people quoting me and linking back to articles. I get few comments. In other words, it’s a little hard to know what is working and what isn’t beyond “being angry about Leopard” gets me traffic.
Questions for you then: what articles do you enjoy or hate? What do you want to see more of or less of?
