DALANEL Suffers Setback

DALANEL saw its greatest day and month in July. And August started out poised to make a run for July’s money. But, a couple of weeks ago, DALANEL stopped growing. 

It’s bleeding and I can’t stop it.

A few days while in my current dry spell, I made drastic changes to the blog. The theme was changed, new features like Weekly News and Weekly Funnies appeared, and it seemed like things would pick up.

Nope.

Oddly enough, I still continue the streak of getting at least one new follower per week. The following still grows but viewing is so bad. So very, very bad. Now, I’ve said before that I would still be blogging even if nobody was reading so that’s not the concern. The concern is what can I do to bring people back?

A Tour of DALANEL

As you may have noticed, I’ve made a few changes to DALANEL appearance-wise. This is a post talking about that as well as talking about the various pages on the site. If you’re new here or been following this blog for quite some time, you’ll need this post.

Daily Good Stuff 138: The Return

I’m back! It’s a new month and first off I have to say something about July: July viewing almost doubled June’s viewing, and June was the best month. I don’t know where the summer explosion came from (actually, I do thanks to WordPress’ stats), but I’m glad it came. And I fully expect August to do even better than July. My play and video series are coming to a close but I’m counting on my past work to carry the load as you saw in my earlier post today.

DGS is gonna be good too. More themed posts. More fun.

Let’s get today off on the right track.

I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination. Jimmy Dean

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things — and the things that are not — to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. 1 Corinthians 1:27-29
