I’ve been doing weblogging for almost 7 years and have gone through a few circles. One of the places I have come back to a few times is the freely provided services that maximize the chances of being read. I posted in the past my interests at writing and not being read; but I think that this stand philosophically disagrees with the idea that I am putting out “there” some dialogue, rssHugger is one of the sites I have looked at that can promote an established weblog and provide a bit of readership for some of the things I feel are worth communicating about. Specifically, I think readership means that people can find a thing which either promotes or denies a reality and then find ways and means to communicate those changes. The new thing in my way of thinking is that we need to find places that authors and contributors can find like thoughts and not live in isolation. I believe that services that offer views of the top posters, feeds, and allows search criteria may enrich the lives of the bloggers, the people that find the blogs, and then add to the sum total of writing. This is contrary to my beliefs in the past regarding writing this blog.
I think everyone can re-invent themselves, their weblogs, etc. The main thing I see with services that track a weblog is that the author is not tied to that one domain, that one service, that one provider. We need universal blogs as well as email and other services. I think that rssHugger may provide that.
