Today I was reading this tongue in cheek feature in the Washington City paper about their rocky transition toward teh interwebs where the editors bemoaned their difficulty attracting readers despite award winning journalism. Naturally, I can relate. No, but seriously, what’s funny is that when checking my dashboard today, I noticed I had an incoming link from the Washington City Paper. Curious, I followed the link, and sure enough, I’m referenced as being one of several “Bloggers sound[ing] off on local races.” Anyway, I was quite honored to receive my first link from a legitimate alt-weekly newspaper, but I’m compelled by honesty to report the link didn’t translate into a single page view. Of course, I hardly mean to sound ungrateful. Indeed, it occurs to me that part of the reason I failed to get any clicks is that “Yes, Let’s Talk About This” looks really stupid out of context. As such, I hope to be moving to less .wordpress.com-ed pastures, and with it, adopting a new moniker. I’ll be thinking, but if you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to drop some in comments.
