Most anyone I know who’s started blogging seems to develop a compulsion to check their visitor stats daily.
That’s sure been my experience and I must admit to being very curious about not only where my visitors are coming from and how long they stick around - but to why they do so.
What brings people to a blog ostensibly about “Career Change, Personal Renewal And Mid-Life Professionals“?
I’d really like to know.
To give you some background; 80% of August’s visitors were here from between 0-30 seconds - the blogging equivalent of a drive-by shooting, I guess 
But, encouragingly 8% spent more than 1 hour perusing pages.
Arigatou!
Although I’m very much a new writer (if you exclude the corporate world of status reports and network engineering designs!), I like blogging and writing about subjects that intrigue me.
And I have my well-thumbed copy of William Zinsser’s “On Writing Well” within arms’ length and am ready and willing to receive constructive feedback from all who stroll by…
… the objective being to make this blog an even more interesting and useful resource for my readers.
Over to you now…
1- What do you most like about this blog?
2- What do you least like about this blog?
3- Give me one specific topic to write a post about.
Comments are open - keep it clean, please
Thank you in advance.

I found you – actually stumbled on you – via an Internet search. I forget what I was looking for, but it must have had something to do with self-help – a subject I’m fascinated about. I did end up buying your course – a blatant plug for those who are reading. The one thing I like about the blog – although you have very little to do with it, sort of, is that you’re in IT – like myself – and writing about career coaching. Apparently IT people – myself included - think that because we can write code to change a computer, we can write ‘code’ to change a life. The only drawback to the blog is the jumpiness, although admittedly it would be a hassle, have you considered two blogs: one for formal career coaching, one for your views on the world? One topic you could write about – if it’s a topic at all – you could include a few success stories on your clients - or perhaps feature a client every now and then. Keep up the good work. -BM
[Bill,
Thanks for replying - Customer feedback is priceless!
I'll respond to your ideas next week after allowing time for anyone else to add their thoughts to the mix.
