Another week of blogging and another precipitous fall. A kind of שבר תחת שבר:
I know full well that the tremendous (for me) traffic of Wednesday last had little to do with the quality of my last post. (Which, incidentally, was among my best work ever. At least in terms of thesis if not in terms of writing). I begged for, and got, cross posts and links from DovBear, R' Harry, Rafi and Tzig. A big Shkoyakh to them all. Additionally I'm a Mother and some guy on Facebook picked up Rise of the Mega-Yeshivos- the Coup de Grâce of Chasidification . And therein lies the problem.After all these years of blogging I am still a Red-Tenter with nary a visitor unless outed to the J-Blogosphere by one of the successful blogs.
This infuriates me as I feel that the quality of my posts merit more of a readership. Perhaps if I had capitalized on my spike in readership of last week by posting once or twice daily since then i could actually have built a base. But, alas, real life has encroached and made daily posting impossible. O well. Chalk it up as yet another blown opportunity in an utterly misspent life. Being an unread blogger should be the greatest of my regrets. Snagville, if you're out there somewhere reading this, some words of support would be most timely and appreciated.בא המבדיל והעמידן על אחת

You need to blog more often. I follow my statistics as well and have learned that the more often you post, the more hits you get. If you post once a week you're get the blip once a week and not much more. Guys like DB and Failed Messiah who post multiple times a day do well because people keep checking back to see if they've missed anything.
my numbers will lousy back in the day when AI posted daily as well.
Besides as I posted, work, health, family... As much as I'd like to spout off more frequently I just don't have the time. Even within discretionary blogging time (k'eelu) my efforts are probably better spent, and my opinions more loudly heard, when I comment on DB than when I post on HaMavdil.
awww. cheer up Bray. I bookmarked your site.
do you have an 'about me' post that you can refer me to? wondering what your story is.
Bray, just keep posting and commenting on other blogs (hint, hint).
You have a flair for the written word, uncommon among typical Yeshiva graduates. Keep truckin'.

too bad his ideas are those of the typical yeshiva student.
