At first when I started blogging I thought too that I was blogging just for myself. Now I know I’m not. But still – getting huge visitor numbers isn’t really that important to me. What makes me going on is the feedback. Those nice, encouraging and often brilliant comments are so nice to get – and the feeling when someone else picks up a topic from your blog and makes an own blogpost about it, refering to you, is just awesome.

We knit a community together. Some guys are extremly popular, for some reason and considered “cool”. But even if you’re not so cool you’ll always find a few friends out there, voices that sort of sings well together. It’s magic.

Consider this your 20% Tip.

Now Blog about that -

After all, what’s the point in having a blog that’s uber popular because you slave away at all the stuff EJ’s been picking at for years when you don’t enjoy it?

A healthy mix of tactics and fun stories seems to work for the best of WoW blogs. Look at BRK, BBB and Resto4Life.

I suppose I should have added a disclaimer that I don’t think you should write just ANYTHING. I do think that a WoW blog should have a WoW focus. I don’t have a problem with people injecting off topic posts from time to time, and I’m sure at some point perhaps I will have a post or two like that. I do think that the majority of posts should in some way be about WoW!

Anyhow, I agree with your assessment, and I’m glad you like to read my blog. I’ll try to keep it up!

Hell – that’s why I read your blog now:)

I’m less interested in a blogger’s personal opinions, feelings, loot yearnings, low level alt activity etc etc, than I am in content that may make me a better player. There is a big difference. We all experience that other stuff – I have plenty of it myself, tyvm and I’m not even that interested in my own. Its ok when balanced, especially if you like a blogger’s personality, but I’ve seen several blogs become rambling personal nonsense, with nothing really to offer to anyone else but themselves. Say what you like – you will loose readership if that happens.

Anyway, just my 2 cents on why I started reading your blog. Keep up the great work – its inspiring, I may even start my own one of these days.

It’s great to hear you are starting up your own blog. Let me know if you need any advice or anything of the sort. I’ll keep my eye on it.

Also, I noticed there were some comments issues today, I just upgraded to WordPress 2.6, so hopefully that alleviates the problems.
