On having a small audience

I was debating with myself earlier whether I should try submitting a post to the Skeptic’s Circle. It’s probably too late right now to write something up, but there’s always the week after next.

I’m sure it’s clear by now that my blog has a serious inferiority complex going on. I have a little trouble finding the motivation to do much self-promotion. Most of the topics in my mind are really abstract, with nothing so concrete as, say, debunking a specific claim. These are things anyone can think about; you don’t need me. I'm not sure who my audience is really. I've pointed this blog out to a few friends (making me only semi-anonymous), and I link to it every time I de-lurk, but I don't know if anyone has taken the bait.

Anyway, sorry for this bit of cynicism. I’ve probably scared away what few lurkers I had, if indeed I had any. If you’re still here, drop a comment, or I’ll probably write increasingly angsty posts. Not really. In the mean time, I have to figure out how to get some sort of site statistics.
