It’s exciting to set up a blog.
That first post or two can be nerve racking.
Comments can encourage, stimulate, irritate and challenge.
The technical learning curve is different for all of us.
What about hits?
I like blogs that have a hit counter open to others.
However, it merely gives me a very rough idea of what is going on.
