I was just having a very similar thought...literally like 2 minutes ago. Nobody reads my blog either (ok, maybe like 4 people :)). Oh well, I see it as being a weird little journal of sorts. Is that satisfying enough to keep one going though???
Hi Torben, I'm a former student and lifelong admirer of Scott Abbott's who wandered over here from his blog. My blog is also very unfocused (like I am) and is read mainly by a handful of family and friends.
Unless you think like a marketer to figure out what people want to read, you may never attract a large crowd. I'm sure you could choose a slant, go for it, stick to it and get a following.
But that might be like speaking in front of a huge auditorium (a dynamic that does have its benefits) all of the time. My favorite conversations are always just me and a few close friends.
I suppose it's a question of what kind of communication you are trying to achieve here.
Well, I've looked around a bit and I dig what you have going on here. I'm always interested in the thoughts of a thoughtful young Mormon swimming somewhat upstream.
I'll be back around, and I suggest you keep on doing what you're doing.
i'm kind of addicted to media, all of the arts, religion, culture, traveling, politics, communication, music, academia, and breathing. Sometimes i talk about them here. Mostly i just post stuff i think is cool. The title our.eclectic.world is an excuse to leave my blog unfocused and post whatever i want. It kind of makes my blog cool. It kind of makes it suck. Oh, i also am trying to make films and was in a rap group for ten years.

And if it makes you feel better, I am one of the 'not many people' that read your blog. :)
