You might be surprised to know that people really are interested in what you do and where you do.
I have been blogging for nearly four years now and actuallt started by using a static website format which was hell.
I moved over to Blogger and then Typepad and have never looked back.
The main focus for me was my Perigord Vacance website which was designed to keep friends and family up to date with our move to France and detail our project of property renovation.
It soon became clear though that we were being followed by loads of people who picked up the story through web searches.
I think we have about 58,000 hits on the site although I do not write a lot to it any more.
I am a great believer that people who join forums (or networks as we have here) or visit blogs, do not always act consciously on any information that they read there and then.
Sometimes, an email will come in from someone who has read a post on my gardening blog - Landscape Juice - which I may have written eighteen months ago.
Something that is written here, especially if the blogger or forum member adds a lot of crucial search engine 'juice' such as place names or plant names to the text, may surface several weeks later when someone quite unrelated to the site and does not know of it's existence, quite literally stumbles on the information.
Many people join a network thinking that a great orange orb of special light will illuminate the sky and a great feeling of well being and emotion will guide them to some promised land only to find the opportunities that they were expecting to pile up do not happen.
The strange thing is, these opportunities come when they are least expected and by blogging about something that is of interest to you, will one day, prove to be of use to someone else.
I do hope you decide to blog again as I do all of the members here because I am genuinely interested in what you have to say.
You may wish to experiment with the power of the blog and add a title to a blog post that you can do a search on at a later date.
For example 'Specialist garden maintenance companies on the Isle of Skye'
If this was added as a title, we could have these search results coming high on the Google or MSN results within a day and prove to be a great conduit for any garden companies who operate from the Isle of Skye.
All the best and I look forward to reading more.
Phil
