    Look at Your Stats

    How many of your readers own their own servers?

    Where will your business be if the highway decides to bypass you?

    It happened when the interstates were built.

    If they repeal Net Neutrality, our blogs will be small towns way off the main interstate.

    We’ll be back to one or two very expensive providers who offer us services we don’t need that do things we don’t like to get to product we don’t want.

    Blogging Hypothetical Question 3

    For those who come looking for a short, thoughtful read, a blogging life discussion, or a way to gradually ease back into the week, I offer this Blogging Hypothetical Question.

    Here you go. . . .

    A friend in your blogging niche has 700-800 visitors a day. (Don’t we all wish?) But she gets no comments.
    She asks:
    Is this a bad thing? Is it my writing? What should I do? Should I do anything?

    What’s your response?

    Besides, of course, “Send them to me, and I’ll ask them.”
