Comments on: A Year of Blogging http://deviousdiva.com/2006/06/22/a-year-of-blogging/ The only thing necessary for the persistence of evil is for enough good people to do nothing.

It’s a story that I sure could relate to. First the decision to blog that moves into a certain amount of excitement as more people start to read your blog moving to shock - not with the fact that people disagree with you but rather just how strongly. What her post also shows though- is the power to create community blogging can have. She writes: It was the beginning of a long and painful journey with some people, who I naively thought I could have a dialogue with. To be honest, in the beginning it was thrilling. People were reading and reacting. Finally, my blogging seemed to have a kind of purpose. It was generating interest and that is what I wanted.

Congratulations anyway! Keep up the spirit and on for another year! I agree with you on the stats thing: It's very good to notice that your stuff is read, that you are not shouting into a void. Even if the daily (or weekly, whatever) stats is just worth a little smile, it's still a positive feedback for all your work. Same goes for the comments, you can't have the information drowned out in noise. Information is what it's all about, comments are just that, comments. Otherwise you would open a BBS or discussion board, not a weblog.
