Like Those Reality TV Shows

I think that I finally figured out why my blogs don't have much following, why they're not all that popular.  The really popular ones are like reality tv shows.  They offer a peak into the lives, the intimate, the nitty-gritty of others. 

This doesn't have to include the "dirt," but the great "real life" bloggers reveal a lot more than I'm willing, or my family would put up with.  People are fascinated by what's happening behind the scenes.

My diet/change in eating/weight loss has impressed people who know me f2f, see me more than those who just read about it.  Why should you believe that I've lost over 30 pounds, 15 kilo?  Tomorrow is the second Jewish Bloggers Convention.  I wonder if anyone will notice...

Blog carnivals do bring more traffic, but not too many people come back just to see the blogs.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who blogs more than I read, but I do know of others who are just the opposite.  They love reading blogs, and they aren't even bloggers.  They just enjoy reading what others have to say.  Blogs are internet news sheets, magazines etc.  Some are like public diaries.

And some, like mine, are hodge podges of different styles and subjects, food, family, diet, health, photos, misc.
