"Hmmmmm," thought I, "perhaps this is worth the effort I have sporadically applied to it."

One of the things which this Angelfire-based blog lacks is a way to track "hits." Someday, I will look more carefully at the options - perhaps by paying a small fee I would get the tracking ability, and perhaps even a way to "advertise" my blog.

You see, when I go to my "blog builder" homepage, there are a dozen or more "Recently updated" blogs linked at the bottom of the page. I have never seen mine there, but I have seen a few specific blogs listed on several different occasions. This leads me to think that Lycos allows one to pay for the privilege of having one's blog show up there.

Somehow, I think I would be more motivated to write blog entries if I thought they were being read more widely.

Which is not to say that I don't appreciate the fact that some people are already reading it. I do appreciate it and, to those who are, I apologize for being so quiet lately.

And now, time to get on with the rest of my Friday!
