This Crazy Blog Thing
I’ve been blogging for a couple of weeks now, and until today my top hits for one day was 26. I post links on my Facebook profile, and emailed a few friends about it. It was not big deal, just a fun place to write what I was thinking so my friends could read it.
Then today, Jack Bogdanski, my law school tax professor, posted a link to my blog. I actually mentioned Jack’s blog in my first blog, but didn’t link to it. But after today, I don’t think Jack needs me to drive traffic to HIS blog. But he sure has sent some readers my way – about 668 so far to be exact! It’s crazy. I had no idea this blog thing could take on a life of its own.
So I guess now I’ll have to keep up the blogging, and that’s fine. I find I really like it. Maybe some of the people Jack sent my way today will come back.
In case you are interested in Jack’s blog, and you aren’t one of the majority of my current readers who came from there in the first place, you can read it at www.bojack.org. You know a guy who can make income tax class interesting, entertaining, and understandable is likely to have something worthwhile to say at least once in awhile.
By the way, thanks Jack!

Thanks. It is challenging to turn one-time visitors into repeat visitors, but I’m still working on it. All the best to you!
Congratulations on being listed as the fastest growing WordPress blog this morning! I’ve been blogging for about eight months and haven’t achieved that status, so I thought I’d come check out how it’s done! I appreciate your topics and thoughtful presentations. Your four-part series on forgiveness is very interesting. I’ve posted a few items on that important topic over the months as well.
Keep up the good work!
Mike, it helps if you know someone with a longstanding, successful blog who gives you a plug. I just hope I can keep some of the readers my friend Jack sent my way.
You are writing from the heart, and as always, doing it well. I hope you stick with it — there are always moments when a blogger gets tired — because you are making us all think. Which is what this internet thing should be all about.
