Blogging

People are just beginning to find out who are the beneficiaries of blogging. It has always been support for some organization, loyalty required etc. Some have even suspected that in our blogs, someone is making big bucks on their good looks, talent, fame and good fortune. But blogging is much different and the readers of Town Dancers are beginning to suspect the truth but not really in the know yet.

"Someone who can think logically would provide a nice contrast to the real world."

The biggest beneficiaries are the reader/dancers. They are able to read about our kind of dancing and learn plenty about the technicalities and the social aspects all over the island and eventually beyond. And they are very prominent with their presence in the hits.

The second beneficiaries are the organizations. For with our counters they can get some idea that they are not just beating their gums. Ten average hits per day is nothing, most of it is spam or bounce. And I remember when I got to ten. It was exhilarating, that's three hundred hits per month.

The third class is the contributors of information and photos and the guest authors. They know the importance of the various view points and what they do. And everyone else does too. Unfortunately many are too modest to realize their importance.

The fourth class is of course the blogs, the more hits, the more they can offer their good friends, neighbors, and fellow reader/dancers. And we can look forward to their independence one by one.

A win-win situation. Anybody out there getting that?

But I am not pushing  for Town Dancer anymore. If we get the needed guest authors fine, but I can cool it there. The one going like a house afire is Oahu West. Blogging Hawaii had been in second place for five years. Now, Oahu West may be the first one with enough Guest Authors and hits to make it an independent blog. From whom? From Me. That may start the ball rolling for the rest of the blogs.

Pub's Side Note: Some of the wheels in the dance community have to be dragged, kicking and screaming into the 21st century. I will not do that. If they do not want it they shall not have it. But the sign on the door I leave open still says welcome.
