I suppose every weblog starts with self-exploratory statements about why and when and whom. Indeed, I rember doing such stuff when I first started my Geocities pages in the Frontier Days of the Web. Back then and now, I knew that for most of us the act of going on the Web was not an act of shameless publicity, but more akin to putting a flyer in a library.
Actually, one probably has more chance of being read as a random flyer in a random book in a random library than being randomly found on the web (at least 10 years ago). I guess TypePad has instituted some better random browsing capabilities so that some may randomly fall here.
But, as a long time writer, I know that people will come more often if I have something useful to say (the intent – this isn’t random spouting off into an echo chamber), say it regularly enough (that’s always tough), and mean it (otherwise I’m just making noise).
