THREE MONTHS AND HOLDING
TO BE OR WHAT?
Yeah. Well. I Gave It A Shot.
I'm trying to decide whether it's worth my while , or anyone else's, to continue this blog. My numbers do keep creeping slowly upward, like old spiders on a new wall. But I still don't get any comments. That's partly because I've shut off the easy-access version here at blogspot: Too many racist, sexist homophobic assholes. No time to babysit.
Then there's the look of the place. I really hate the templates BLOGGER/ blogspot provides, but I haven't seen anything much better elsewhere. I'm not looking for bells and whistles. I want the site to load quickly, and be easy to read and navigate. It would be nice to include a blogroll, if it doesn't screw me up or slow me down too much.
Time is really the problem. It takes hours of reading online newspapers, magazines, zines, blogs and other sites, plus fact-checking, writing, editing, posting and tweaking, pinging and promoting. All I wanted to do was communicate. But that's not happening.
If anyone out there has any constructive suggestions, post a comment or e-mail me. Whether I keep this up will depend upon the response. I know you're out there. How about some feedback? What works or doesn't work, here, or elsewhere? What can I do about it? Do you give a shit? Should I?

I say keep the Blog, I would hate to see it gone one day. Of course it's easy for me to say that, since I obviously would not have to update it.
I like your style of writing, when you are sarcastic you are a real bitch, and I LOVE it. Don't change, not for anyone.
I only started "Blogging" less than 3 months ago, and I was inspired by several blogs, I listed them in my "links" section (that I had to manual create w/html because blogger templates are rather Lame) and of course you are right there w/AmericaBlog, BlogACTIVE, and Whatpandathinks, and my friend Tonya's Aol journal.
I think my BLOG is an amalgumation of all your blogs put together, but more shallow and superficial :) I talk about politics some, when Bush REALLY pisses me off, but most of it is about my personal life and things happening in my life, and how my attention is easily diverted when a cute guy walks by :) HA!!
Anyway, stick around Cosa, give it more time, you are read, people love you, FUCK the freepers, stick around if ONLY to piss them off!!
Thanks, Rob. I enjoy your writing, especially when you're pissed off at someone/thing. I appreciate the encouragement. It gets weird out here in cyberspace, sometimes, y'know? Anyway, stay ANGRY, but watch yer blood pressure, especially at XMAS TIME!!! Merry & Happy & So On.
You other peope: READ ROB's BLOG, DAMMIT!
"The World According to Rob DAMMIT!!"
excellent Cosa!! Thanks for the plug, I'll pay you later, after I retire, and all my privitized social security money comes in :)
unh hunh
