When i was in university i had my own radio show on the campus radio station. My show was called "my grandmas big red car!"
I loved doing my show. Spending hours in the record and cd library. Fondling stack upon stack of 7" records. Picking out two hours worth of music. Then locking myself in the booth and turning the speakers up really loud for my show.
I never really knew how popular my radio show was. The CRTC said that every phone call counted for 700 listeners. I usually got four or five calls. That was good enough for me. There was a fine balance between being too popular, which meant the music you were playing was a little bit too mainstream, and being a navel gazing loner.
I feel that way when i look at bloglines and see how many people subscribe to my blog. How many people would one subscriber represent? How do i compare to other people i really like? How about those ones that i secretly lurk on? And, crap, i am NEVER going to get that many!
So many people talk about commenting and comments, traffic, blog courtesy, blah, blah, blah. I can't keep up with all that and frankly, i don't want to. I love getting comments and i always check out the blogs of commenters. I comment every now and then. I just don't have time. I appreciate all the blogs i read. I appreciate everyone that reads my blog. Isn't that enough?
