Thanks for holding…

I’m in the heart of exams now, I turned in a 24 hour take home this morning and my next exam is tomorrow night, then 3 more next week. After I turned in my final I took a small break to catch up with the world. I found this interview with Fred Wilson to be pretty interesting, mainly because he’s right. Fred is a VC and blogger, and as a blogger he offers some great tips in the interview. One of them is blogging everyday, this really works best for me as well. When I blog daily I increase my readers, when I take breaks readership falls. The trick is even when I blog everyday, I don’t. I usually rattle off two or three posts at a time, publish one and save the others for later. So… while I’m not blogging for a while, thanks for holding. I promise more good stuff to come.

Hopefully you enjoyed my last post and checked out at least one of the bands on the list. Which brings me to my next tip for bloggers: let your readers see a little of who you are. Most people that read my blog probably come here for the web stuff that I write, but if you’re a regular reader you know that I’m in law school, that I live in Akron and now you know what’s on my ipod - hopefully knowing those things will help you feel more of a connection to my blog.

Speaking of that last post, I wouldn’t call it the most popular post of all time, but I’m also not going to talk bad about it. I used to listen to the TWiT podcast weekly. I stopped listening when the people on the podcast started talking about how bad older shows were or even how the current episode wasn’t working well… eventually I bought into it. They convinced me it was bad and I stopped listening. Third tip: be confident in everything you do.

And if that’s not enough, I’m working on my choice for website of the year and blog of the year feel free to leave your suggestions in the comments.
