Housekeeping Notes

The blog is one month old today. I’ve edited the blogroll to reflect the blogs (and similar sites) I’ve been frequenting over the past month and changed the header “quote,” a practice I expect to perform on a monthly basis.

There are literally hundreds of thousands of blogs on the internet, perhaps millions. My personal short-term goal for this blog is to increase readership substantially and for the blog to crack the top 100,000 of those tracked by Technorati. So by way of a minor “bleg,” I’d appreciate it if those of you who have been reading this blog so far would take the trouble of recommending the site or any particular post to anyone you think might enjoy it and especially for those of you who operate blogs yourselves to consider linking here now and then. As Arlo Guthrie once sang, I’m not proud ... or tired.

More direct feedback would be nice, too. I know I don’t always respond to every comment and avoid getting into lengthy discussions even when I do, but I do appreciate all comments (well, all of them so far) and encourage your suggestions and criticism.

Finally, although I intend to continue this blog as a solo act, it occurs to me that some of my readers might like to take a shot at doing a guest blog, either on an independent topic or perhaps as a more extended response to something I’ve posted. If there is any such interest, please feel free to contact me about it.
