The last one caught my eye – especially the “carnival”. I think the most attention Korrektiv ever got was for our summer reading club on Kierkegaard’s “Stages on Life’s Way”. A little while later, a librarian was putting together the “Kierkegaard Carnival” and included our posts about the Stages. I had dreams of glory then, let me tell you. I thought we’d be quoted by real scholars, invited to academic conferences, you name it. Ah well.

You have clued me in on these simple rules. It’s nice to know what I don’t know and what I should do. Get ‘em next time I blog . . . if I can remember. Be sure to check.

These rules all look sensible enough. If I were a faster reader and a quicker study, maybe I would have a longer blogroll and better stats; but I’m happy with the number of readers that do show up, and the dozen or so regular commenters are the ones on whose blogs I usually leave comments. Also, I almost always reply personally in my comment section to whoever drops in.

Not sure what my “niche” is, but on the other hand, my blogroll has a lovely variety of voices.

Good to know what I’ve been doing wrong.

You, AGI, do it all right!

One thing I’ve noticed about a niche is that while you proceed in one direction a blogger only to be sidetracked. Most will find their voice is received better when they go off topic and they have picked up a new group of readers. I’ve been trying to merge the two.

I always remember a mentor I had from work. He encouraged me to be as passionate about my interest outside work as I was my work. He thought that the both can come together bring new opportunities. Today I can see his wisdom.

yeah, yeah. i’ve read all this before too. but who wants to write everyday. especially when there is nothing to say. and funny? i’m not in the mood.
niche? aren’t my children and husband riveting subjects? if there are rules, i’m so likely to want to break them just because they are rules.

Many thanks to both you and your dada, Dennis. You are, by the way, one of the best rule-following bloggers I know, in all of the GOOD ways of following the rules.

Plus also, you’re the only blogger I know who has a subcategory in his blogroll for “rats.”
