Hey Staingirl Kaye, I think we’ve been neglecting our blog for a while.   And it’s a little embarassing when friends ask how that blog is going.  Of course, the fam thinks it’s great they have something new to tease me about.  And I can’t have that.  So I’ve decided that it’s time we get back into this blogging thing.

But this is not just about the humiliation of abandoning our baby blog.  I’ve been looking at our Google Analytics, and I’ve noticed that our readership (not so numerous anyway) has dropped considerably.  And I’m wondering what the dynamic is.  Did our few readers go away because there’s not much going on with the blog?  Or have the search engines been ignoring us because we’re not provding any content?  If we write it, will the readers come?

Only one way to find out.  Kaye, I challenge us: 30 days straight of blogging.  I don’t care whether it’s a tome or a paragraph.  We will put something up every day for 30 days straight if it kills us.  We will no longer wait until we have made our site prettier, or until we have researched a subject for hours and days and weeks on end, or until the rest of our life is no longer in the way.  I want to see how blog traffic is affected by daily content.

And, dear readers, I promise that even though we intend to publish something daily (actually, we may be too many people – I haven’t consulted with Kaye yet), we will not slap up just any old thing.  Our content will continue to be informative and entertaining (at least in our minds).  But we also need your help.  Give us a little feedback and let us know what works and what does not work.

So here’s to our 30-day blogging challenge.
