On a note, I have tried to use my blog's incoming stats as a measure to it's success, but in comparison to other people out there, it's not something that can be measured due to is low visits. I am using the community that builds on my blog as a measure of its success. How many people would come back and read it. How many people would interact with what I write. For a personal blog, appealing to the mainstream isn't something that everyone can do. It's about the fact that you can have 50, 100 or even 200 people come back and read your thoughts and feelings. I would think that's a whole lot better than standing in front of mainstreet and yelling to everyone how you feel that very moment. Wow, thank you for the mention and the reference.

In all honesty, our blog, ‘Turning News Into Knowledge’, currently has only has two blog comments for 19 posts. We are monitoring our traffic and it is starting to get some momentum. However, we don’t expect it to be an overnight success. That said, I think over time, if you are blogging for the right reasons, the audience will grow – especially if you have something to say of value. Our reasons for blogging are sincerely and honestly expressed in our latest posting at: <a href="http://www.turningnewsintoknowledge.com/2007/03/23/rule-blog-tannia-why-companies-should-blog/" rel="nofollow">Rule Blog Tannia - Why Companies Should Blog</a>. Not only do we explain why we blog, but also why other organizations should blog. As for how we are currently measuring success, well we (our company) believe that the blogging has helped us internally understand what we do a little bit better. If our blog ends up being popular or helps other people, then that’s a bonus in our minds. We just recently started a corporate blog at beginning of the New Year for our company.
