In the Race

Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!
You see, I'm in the Red Queen's Race...

I'm Amazed By the Response...

Last week I asked whether any readers might be interested in the opportunity to write on my blog about an experience they may have had with a past summer vacation.  I said that I would run the posts the first week of August and that one reader would be able to do a guest blog of their choice on my blog after that.

I have to tell you that I am amazed at the response I received.  This was a good opportunity for someone out there to take a stab at doing a blog to see if they might have an interest.  Doing these blogs may look easy, but I have to tell you, it really is quite a commitment. 

I just want to let you know how many story blogs you can look forward to that first week of August.  None…zero..zip.  No takers.  Not one person was interested.  Needless to say, I was really surprised.  Take note Mark Maley…nobody wants to blog.  What you see is what you get.  Hey, maybe we bloggers should be put on the payroll?  Just asking….

Well, I made the guest blog offer.  I guess you're just stuck with me.

Just an observation, I typically rotate a few of the local community "NOW" sites and have noticed that a lot of people that typically respond for one reason or another haven't been.  My guess is, at the peak of summer, people are trying to enjoy the weather, too many memories of a high snowfall total winter and late spring have people out and about.  If you were to offer the same thing when kids are back in school and family life has settled back into a more stable routine where people are inside more, I think you'd get at least one reply.

You make a good point, JSZemborski, regarding people being too busy to possibly want to write, but my viewership is pretty steady...except during the daytime hours on weekends.  And that picks up in the evenings.  

My blog has never been much of the chatroom type...not like what your used to in West Allis.  

I think either you've got the urge to blog or you don't.  But if anyone ever has something they think may make an interesting guest blog...I may consider it via email.

Point taken, you probably have access to viewing stats, etc.  Hope you get someone to take you up on your offer!
