I started a few years back with longer and more thoughtful posts and got some wonderful response threads but very few people read the blog. I went that direction for well over a year but finally figured out that the 15-35 demographic isn't very interested in that approach. At this point I go with pretty straightforward and unvarnished sermonizing on my blog and in my comments on other people's blogs. I took my cue from Rudy's blog. Seems that's what people want. I get big numbers now. Wish it wasn't so. But in a world of sermons you can still hope to provide better and deeper content for thoughtful folks. I think that's important and a good reason to blog.
