I started using this site to blog about 3 months ago, and I knew going in that it takes a while to acquire an audience. I'm not new at this, got big into blogs years ago, then got bored with it and quit. Until recently, I haven't done much blogging, and that now includes sites here at Blogger and at Wordpress . . . and several less used sites at Weebly. This one gets the most views, about 1,700 since I started back in early October, and some 940 this past month. Nearly half the views come from Malaysia, and that surprises me. A few are coming from Europe. On the other sites I maintain, almost all the views are from the U.S. Overall, my blogs have had about 1,500 views this month (all sites), and that's only about fifty a day . . . not many. Still, Blogger is my best site, the one I like using the best. My attention span is short, meaning I get bored easily, but we'll stick with it a while and see what happens.
I'm not disappointed because I don't write blogs intended for mainstream readers, like those catchy things about politics or social issues, etc. I'll do one now and then, but mine are usually little lighthearted things, nothing of great importance. I write about books I've written or those I'm working on. I write about rural life, small town living, cats, and hobbies or crafts I pursue. And I write about life as an old guy, something a lot of folks don't even want to think about. Yeah, I'm old, and I can't do anything about that . . . other than write about it.
Over at Weebly, I maintain sites called Clowder Country (about cats), Hiram's Cove (about old people in a retirement village, based on a book I'm writing), and Philip Martin Cawlfield's Blogs, which is mostly about Texas (with pictures). Here at Blogger, I'm D. Paz Dalton, same as my site at Wordpress. Just thought I'd mention that, in case you'd like to check 'em out. If not, you know where to find me here. And, thanks for looking in.
