Thu, 24 Feb 2005 19:04:34 +0000 http://dave.matusiak.org/weblog/2005/02/22/hard-to-blog/#comment-8 Hey James -- Thanks for your comments. Let me try to feedback to your feedback. Indeed, I had lost interest for the most part and I did stop publishing online (never stopped writing, tho). I am now interested in re-releasing myself into the Wild Blogosphere in order to communicate on a broader scale, as well as improve my writing skills. In this sense, feedback is very important to me. In fact, I am quite feedback-driven in all aspects of my life. I just need to learn not to listen to the turkeys and trolls. I don't have enough info on this site yet for you to understand, but my angle was never about “getting more readers” or “driving traffic to (my) site." Actually, I am much more interested in "how to be a better person" than in "how to be a better blogger." Thanks again for your note. Hey James — Thanks for your comments.

I blog/write/journal for me and me alone; however, i do it publically in the event others find it remotely useful. I tag the blog as tech related, but i write whatever i want because its mine. :-) Either you want to or you don't. Too much has been made about "getting more readers", "driving traffic to your site", "how to be a better blogger" and the rest of the like-minded headlines. I don't care about feedback, audience or comments. I'm not saying that i ignore it, but in the end it doesn't change what i do. If your not interested, then stop.
