Where Did Everyone Go?

I wish I could say that computer problems have kept me from blogging as often as I should. Instead, it has been critical demands of life that take up my blogging time. So it is absolutely frustrating to look at my Alexia chart and see that those visitors with the magical toolbar are almost nonexistent now. And I was unable to stop it…

The same goes with my Bloglog and Blogcatalog visitors. At one time, there was a visitor every few second. Now the widget on my blog shows that days pass between these special readers.

So I am pretty certain I have done three things to slowly kill W.A.T.T.’s popularity:
– I have not written on a consistent basis,
– my posts have not been interesting enough to encourage repeat visitors or links,
– I have not schmoozed as much as I should with other bloggers. In other words, if you don’t leave a comment at their site or if they don’t even know that you have stopped by their blog, why would they reciprocate? I am guessing that my use of RSS readers does not let my fellow bloggers know that I do read their sites on a consistent basis.

So it’s depressing to watch my blog fade into Internet obscurity. But as Rat poignantly observes in the cartoon, “And yet somehow the world goes on.”
