One thing that I sometimes struggle with here at WorkPlay is the direction of my writings. I’ll be honest, I’d really like to have more traffic roll through and some of that can be accomplished by me (metaphorically) stepping out my front door and building better relationships with fellow thinkers and bloggers. I’ve allowed my more introverted side to come through online and that’s changing. I only have to look at Phil Gerbyshak for a great model of how its done. To that end, I’ve been trying to be a more frequent commenter throughout the blogosphere. And here on WorkPlay, I’ve brought back a blogroll to the front page and inserted a MyBlogLog widget. All you RSS feed readers, click here and see how it all looks.
I also fully understand that attracting more readers and commenters is a result of writing great content and therein lies a bit of my quandary. As I attempt to approach my blogging from a new angle, I find the type of content that really drives traffic is the more applied, bulleted how-to lists – the type of posts that start off “Top 10 Ways to…” These are great and I love them myself. And yet they’re somewhat limiting when it comes to pitching big picture, reality-shifting ideas for redesigning the work experience. The simple answer is to do both except that I’m far more comfortable with the latter. However, I’ll try to bring a balance to the WorkPlay content.
As always, thanks to all you readers out there. If there’s something here that excites you or pisses you off, come and join the dialogue. It’s all welcome here.
You're welcome Chris. You are doing GREAT things by exposing yourself. It's tough, but it's the right thing to do!
Let me know how I can help.
