Hello.

I happened across your site looking for web design ideas. And I’m so glad I did!

I’m calling myself an amateur “Grandmapreneur”.

You’re fantastic in sharing ideas and resources to those whom visit.

Thanks so much!

Leslie,

I’m glad there’s something on my site that’ll bring you back, and if you have any difficulties with your own blog launch, feel free to get in touch. All the best.

David, the subject of transparency and Web 2.0 social media occupies so much of my thinking lately- glad I found the rich resources on your site! I’ve spent much of my day here.

My revamped site went live a day or two ago, and in some ways I’m happy, as it’s an improvement from the prior incarnation. But there’s no blog or interactivity. The more time I spend online looking at sites like yours, where the blog really is the spine of the site, the more impatient I am to get a blog going and have two-way communication.

Please keep posting your great content- I will be back!

Thanks much-

I respect your blog with all of its info and expertise. I would love advice on how to build a more successful one… I presently have two blogs one – light – BASIC info about new products, press releases, related supporter info. for The Merry Bird… and the other blog is more FOCUSED, building it to for a niche readership like you have here…

But How to bring people to it….and stick with it…
I CAN write and I am socially respected in many networks…….what’s next? -

Hi David,

Just a quick thought, blogs and the whole personal touch are the way to go. I am new to your site, but have been checking it out a lot more lately. I personally find it is great to see interaction between business owners / site owners etc and their clients / visitors. in a day and age where there is loads of competition, making youir business personal provides a solid differentiator and I am sure will ensure, (at the least) some return visitors to your site. Im all for online transparency. thanks for the great advice, snippets and design stuff. keep it up.

Nugroho,

It’s interesting what you say about different niches. One can definitely draw more traffic than another, depending on the world-wide appeal, but don’t let it dishearten you. Millions of people are concerned with financial issues, and if you’re providing information of use, why shouldn’t they visit your blog?

Nice post, it’s like a reflection of my family blogging experience; I blog on blogspot, start from scratch, i blog on some finance topics, readers are definitely on “need-to-know-basis”, i hardly have any visitor on my blog, harder on commenter; While my wife blog on multiply about his everyday life with our daughter, simple but honest idea, her blog traffic defeat my blog in no time…….. T_T…… kinda defeated by your student…….; thanks for the article, i should think something about my blog then.
