Canadian Blog Awards

I got a bit pensive over the weekend. I was sitting at my computer, typing out the beginning of what will eventually be my interview with Bernard Landry, and I got to thinking. Am I actually any good at this? Sure, I’ve been getting more hits over the past couple of months, but who’s to say that the readers actually come back? I haven’t the foggiest idea. I could try and use my comments section as an indicator, but I’ve found that my most avid commentators are the people I’ve known for years. So I’m left to wonder, am I writing anything that piques the interest of the average Joe? Or do my postings become infinitely more interesting if the reader knows me personally? Hmm. Perhaps I don’t really want to know the answer to that.

I’m going to try and make a more concerted effort to attract attention to my site here, though not through the use of naughty keywords. That’s the easy way out. No, no. We can’t do things the easy way around here. I need to find ways to make this a little more widely recognized. After all, my writings cater to a pretty small niche, I think. On that note, I would like to encourage my readership to nominate this little ol’ site for the Canadian Blog Awards. Nominations are open and being accepted until early November, if memory serves me. O’course, don’t feel obligated to make any nominations unless you feel the site actually deserves it. Feel free to read the rules for nominations while you're at it.

On a totally unrelated sidenote, there’s nothing to report on the McNorgan baby-watch… yet. I’m sure that either he or I will post something when the new bundle of joy pops out. Til next time…
