Blogs are like an itch that needs/deserves a good scratch. Scratch no itch befor its time.

OK, now it's getting wierd. Step back, and suddenly people notice.

That is, Lessig finally noticed that you have a weblog, just about the time you (sensibly!) reduce your commitment to it.

You're in the A-list now, at least by reference. Which, with $4 added, will buy a cup of coffee.

Seth, you have more readers than you realise. Hang in there friend! :~)

Phil, thanks, but unfortunately I think I have a very good idea how many readers I have - around a dozen who have me in their aggregator, and approximately a hundred total from checking/blogrolls. Maybe a few more from Lessig's notice now. I may be off by a little there - but I'm sure I'm not off by an order of magnitude.

And I'm never going to get many more, without some sort of persistent backing.

Been blogging myself for some months now. But every week I notice just how hard it is to come up with some really interesting information. When I'm only talking about something funny which just happened at work or something, wouldn't make a very interesting blog, I guess.
At least, still I'm trying to improve on my frequency, load and subjects, but how hard it is....
