Self promotion is hard work
My New Years resolution, now nearly abandoned, wasn’t to lose weight (already did that last year!) or to exercise more (I’ve got the serious mountain biking jones now), or eat better (not difficult when your wife is a great cook). Rather, for this year I decided I was going to pimp my website and spend this year writing something every day, submitting comments on other sites, making contacts, etc. in order increase traffic on my main site with the goal of eventually starting to advertise, or sell through the site. Gah! This made running my blog so much like a day job I quickly tired of it all. January was pretty successful in that I wrote some interesting stories, had some good conversations on other sites and drew lots more eyeballs on my pages. But I can’t seriously keep up that amount of output for the rest of the year! Since this site is only one of about 12 that I maintain, it’s just too crazy. For those of you who lurkers out there (and bless my logs I know you’re out there!) who have been following my posts over the last 5 years - I’m not giving up, but I’m going to have to find some kind of more realistic balance here 
More on this as I decide what I’m going to do.
