Dublin Community Blog Growing

April 14, 2006 Daragh 2 comments

Can I just take a moment to talk about the Dublin Community Blog which is really starting to come into it’s own, with lots of the authors signed up coming up with some brilliant work. I’ve been rather slack in my own postings, not leading by example and all that, but, a big thanks to everyone else who is making it work.

I have a few more ideas for things to do on the blog over the next few weeks, and of course, I’m always open to suggestion and ideas if anyone has any to pass on. And also, as always, if people are interested in signing up and coming to write for us, drop me a note to daragh AT dublinblog DOT ie

Hey Daragh,

I was actually going to email you and ask you something about the Dublin Community Blog before I saw your post! Great minds and all that.

Anyway, I’m really enjoying the blog and posting on it, but I was wondering about promotion? Are we signed up to Blog Explosion or Irish Blogs or any of those? It’s just I’m noticing that most of the comments about the posts are from ourselves (the contributors) if you get me! Not many from outside, so I’m just wondering what the story is. The blog is only up a couple of weeks though, so I’m probably jumping the gun a bit. I just think the blog is so great and you’ve some fantastic writers, that it really should be out there, with millions of comments every day. Also is there a stat counter or hit counter to see how many hits we’re geting each day? I’d love to know how many are reading.

You know though, I’m not familiar with Word Press so maybe you’ve already done all of that and I just can’t see it cos I’m an eejit!

Well done again though on getting things up and running and it’s looking great.

Hey Karen,

Yes, yes and yes!

We are up on Irish Blogs, Planet of the Blogs etc, and do get quite a lot of referrals from them. I’ve been asked similar questions by other bloggers, and will be working on promoting the blog a bit more over the weekend, I haven’t had time to do much for the past few weeks, but, with a four day weekend ahead, should be able to arrange something!

As for stats, yes, we do have (more than one) stats package there at the moment, and the figures are growing nicely. I’m going to start mailing out stats to the authors group over the next few days, so, keep an eye on your inbox over the weekend!

It’s still early days, but, over time, we’ll get bigger and better (hopefully). Do spread the word, and if you see an opportunity for promoting it, fire ahead…just let me know so I can keep an eye on stats and see if it works!
