I have had enough time on my blogs to have trimmed them down from eleven to five. However it is time for another small change. Most blogs have a distinguishing feature from Web sites by being much more current. Web sites have valuable pertinent information that does not change too much except for their dance schedules. For us the lock down from the Trump Pandemic has given us time to reflect on the entire dance scene on Oahu. So Oahu Dancers will go into a Sunday semi Web site and not be as current as the other regular blogs. Not much action right now but enough to perhaps see something by the end of this month.
I use my counter daily, it can get quite erratic at the beginning of each month, but by the 10th it settles down and tells me a lot. Of course, I have been periodically redesigning this entire blogosphere and that always shakes things up. The most common factor that most successful blog sites have in common is that it is some form of social media. Twitter and Facebook are "minis" and that fact alone gives them much advantage to get users. With only one set back you must be a member to see anything. In a blog anyone can tune in and read what is on it. I am convinced that the Information Contributors to our blog is what will make it.
While there are many sites devoted solely to social media, any site that expects to be successful provides some way for their visitors to engage in the social experience of having printed contact in the blog with the rest of the reader/dancers. By creating a sense of community and combining it with usability, sticky customers almost become a certainty. In the end, the term web 2.0 simply represents a different way of doing business on the Internet. However, while the concept is simple, its execution can be quite difficult.Yet if someone is serious about being prominent in our blogosphere, the principles of web 2.0 must be learned and used effectively. Fortunately, they are very simple. There is interest, but there has been hesitation simply because it has never been done before.

be able to dance with the pen?" ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
