Blogging: Where’dya go?

There have been very few posts on this blog lately (and even NOT lately) that were sort of geared for readers. I know, I know, I talk an awful lot about writing, publishing, marketing, and so on in a vein that would appeal to a writer. Well, indeed, I do have to quit that.

Recently I found a very interesting article about blogging and bloggers over here: at Copyblogger. The article discussed some stats on blogger behavior, and some of it surprised me.
