Fuzzy Thoughts

This was going to be a post on something else, but that can wait since this post is going to be more interesting.

I logged into the wordpress admin panel, and saw a link that caught my eye. Eventually I made my way to ProBlogger, where he compiled a list of 34 reasons someone might unsubscribe from an RSS feed. Some of the items on that list got me thinking.

• Too many posts (the post levels are too overwhelming) - 37
• Infrequent Posting (or the blog is effectively dead) - 29
• Irrelevant Content - 13

Now, for my site, I don’t know where the line between too many posts and too few posts would be. This is a personal blog, and so I write about things that happen to me and other things that interest me. It would be entirely possible for me to go a week without posting something solely because there was nothing going on that week and nothing in the news that I want to comment on.

How would someone be able to define irrelevant content for here? Again, its a personal site, and as such, almost anything I post is relevent. The fact that there is no central theme also makes it hard to define irrelevent content for here. If I had decided to write on a central theme, then yes, irrelevent content could be determined. But I decided that a central theme would be bad, because while I write about school on here, this blog gives me a chance to write on whatever I want to, and not what I’m told to write about.
