Somebody call a whaaaaambulance!

Here's a little bloggy topic that lots o' bloggers wonder about:  how to increase readership. 

Q:  Why don't we just shut up and be happy with what we've got? 
A:  Because...

1.  We're bloggers.  We are diametrically opposed to shutting up.

AND

2.  Blogging without feedback can get lonely.  It's like you're yelling all your fascinating tidbits and genius insights into a giant canyon and only hearing your own boring voice boomerang back.

The exchange of ideas is what makes blogging fun in my expert humble opinion.  I think we all want to feel as if we are making our readers feel something.  We want to make them think.  We want to feel heard.  We want them to learn something.  We want to make them laugh and pee a little.  We want to connect. 

And we also want to be discovered for the closet prodigies we are.

Or maybe that's just me.

Do not click to enlarge.  My forehead is too big as it is.

As opposed to my usual posts, which are full of practical information and useful tips, this one is a request for advice from YOU, my faithful few. 

How do you increase your blog readership?
