But now - unapologetically self-indulgent - I have started one too. It's young enough for you to (as we used to say in the old email threads) start from the bottom.<BR/><BR/>I can see that they are much more satisfying with actual readers, so give it a looksee and put it on your reader if you please.<BR/><BR/>(Bill Simmons, one of my regular reads on the NBA, began as a private blogger in Boston, got a huge readership and eventually was assumed by ESPN.com. There's always the longshot idea that people who don't even know us might find our rambling's somehow worthwhile. Unlikely.<BR/><BR/>Check out the MT Set at www.themtset.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>(Somebody show me how to embed links...)MTNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02963800985291322477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052859668960609943.post-65586877310087808202008-06-18T07:42:00.000-05:002008-06-18T07:42:00.000-05:00Thanks, Kris.Thanks, Kris.goathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05561013052425473687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052859668960609943.post-78241339349325677102008-06-17T10:08:00.000-05:002008-06-17T10:08:00.000-05:00Good points, but for me it all comes down to purpo...Good points, but for me it all comes down to purpose.<BR/><BR/>With your profession being centered around language and writing, I can see how you might have lofter expectation for any written work you produce. But for me, I enjoy reading your posts. It helps that I know you, but even then I find your posts interesting, well written and entertaining.<BR/><BR/>If you want to feel good about your blog, read mine. It's most travelogue, with a few rants and other topics thrown in. But that's OK with me because the primary audience is me. That probably sounds strange, but I like having a record of what I've done - I've referred back to old posts many times to refresh my memory of a ride or pick out a fact I wanted to be sure I got right.<BR/><BR/>But I know what you're saying. Bike Snob spins some wonderful yarns. And there are plenty of other bloggers out there, like The Snob, taking blog to lofty heights.KanyonKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954169751206336705noreply@blogger.com
