If no one ever visits a blahhg, does it exist?
I’ve decided to view my blahhg as an experiment of sorts. It seems that almost all blahhgers buy into the aspect of blahhging that entails being viral. You don’t just enter postings on your blahhg. You comment on other people’s blahhgs, partially in the hope of having the commented-upon blahhger check out your blahhg in return. Also, you create links for your blahhg, sending people elsewhere, and hope that others will create links to your blahhg. And I’m sure there are other strategies for increasing the odds that people will read your blahhg and send other to it as well, The game is about gaining readership, garnering attention. The success of the blahhg is measure mostly in hits, right?
Well, in theory, if the blahhger is interesting, has something to say or something to offer, eventually, due to the viralness of the blahhgosphere, the world will discover and embrace the blahhg. All of the above strategies merely accelerate the process.
We’ll just see about that. Since the purpose of my blahhg is mostly just to see if I had the technological know-how to create one, I have no plans to promote it, to reach out to the community, to make any connections. I’m simply going to post entries, or enter postings (both ways of saying it feel awkward to me). I’m not going to expend any effort going “hey, look at what I did!” I’m just going to do it. Blahhg as therapy.
So far, my blahhg has remained virtually invisible. I’m interested in seeing how long it will remain so, absent any attempt on my part to make it visible. My hope is, it will remain off the radar forever.
If you’re reading this, I’ve failed.
