I wish I'd seen this earlier; I just put up a post about going offline to build blog traffic. Will have to check out your suggested links as well. It's true; there are plenty of people who don't live on a computer, but if they like your blog they can turn into very loyal readers. First, though, they have to know about it. Rats!

"Really?" they say. Yes, I say, go check out my site (hand them a card I have with my url), it's a blog, and you'll find some great stuff on guitar and music. Chances are they either play a little guitar, know somebody who plays guitar, or want to pick up an instrument and maybe guitar is it. To me, the approach is the content, not the platform (blogging), especially since I think for many regular people the word "blog" has a sort of negative connotation. Hopefully we'll break out of that mold the more people realize the unique value of blogging.

More people would be able to relate to the "writer" profession than "blogger". A business card also seems to be the way to go. Hi Carolyn, that makes sense.

I simply say I am a writer. Then when asked where do I write, I say I write online, or on the Internet for those who are a few light years behind. Then I say that if they want to view my writing, here's the URL. See, I deal with the folks who are still pecking away on the old typewriters so, blogging may as well be some kind of strange mating ritual. For those a little more advanced, I do have business cards with my blog info. Thanks for the questions. Hey Jason, curious but lovely dilemma! I simply
