Site Change
Putting up good content regularly requires a lot of time. I did it for a few months, then I asked for some feedback from you (see most recent post before this). Nearly two weeks have passed since then, and not a single person said so much as “hello.” I intentionally did not post since then so it would remain the top post, and get more exposure.
So, I’ll be posting irregularly when I have something I really want to write about, but I will no longer add content multiple times weekly. I was hoping to have a community of readers who were interested in discussing some of these topics, but maybe most of my readers are hitting the site through Google searches.
Also, I have already posted the most important topics I really wanted to get out there, and I don’t want to be repetitive. I will maintain the site for the foreseeable future in the hope that people will stumble across my favorite essays, and hope that I do some good in the world.

Blogging is a thankless job. If you write in the hopes of getting a response, then I think you should try some other way, like in web forums. I don’t mind not getting much comments, but that’s beside the point. I blog to vent my thoughts, aspirations and frustrations. I’m happy if people would leave a word, but I’m still ok if no one does.
If you want to reach out to more people and get more feedback, then I suggest you start a blog in an active online community like Live Journal or MySpace (preferably the other better services out there).

Dan,
Thanks for the insight. I mainly wanted to stir up some conversation — I know that a lot of the things I wrote aren’t the most popular ideas in the world right now. I’m just a bit surprised that almost nobody felt the need to comment.
As for joining another community, I won’t be doing that. I have my own site with my own URL, and I think that’s a step (or more) up from places like that. I’ve never understood the whole “social networking” craze, and I have no interest in participating in it.
I’ll just leave the site up for what it’s worth, and take satisfaction in knowing that I put a lot of what I wanted to say out there for the world to read if it chooses.
