So I'm not 'giving' like many other blogs do. It's my choice of how I want to blog.Most comments come from fellow bloggers,  the readers alone are hard to keep & hardly comment.     Promotion is a funny thing for me as I don’t link to ads on my site & I don’t have a’blogroll’ visable in the sidebar.

You’re right about the six month startup period too, that’s what I’ve read the rule of thumb is. I guess it depends on the topic. However, I haven’t really been actively promoting the site lately, which is something I want to change too!

So it's good to read that you want to spread your content wider.My opinion is you may lose a little bit of readership from WoW players but the readership that you have that like innovation will hang around.I have been told it takes 6 months to a year to be establihed as a 'blog force' & I can believe that. I recieve about 200 hits on average a day but my active readership is still on the low side. It looks like you started a month before I did, how would you say your readership is...active or passive?    Ah Stropp I can sense the change in you!…when I began my blog, I wanted a place I could post about whatever was making my life interesting(or a pain!) & I knew if I just made it about one MMORPG there would be a day I stopped playing or the game folded.
