Blogging Statistics That Make Me Think

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I have to admit, a couple of the statistics used in this article about blogging caught me by surprise. Specifically about what a difference there appears to be in traffic and followers between blogs that have daily posts versus those that don’t and that longer posts attract more links. I had sort of assumed that in our attention deficit world, that length and frequency didn’t matter at all any more, but maybe I’m wrong about that.

Is there anything in that post that stands out for you fellow bloggers?

    Everything is back working again tonight, no communication about what happened, but that’s become completely expected.

    If you’re interested in adding images to your WordPress posts, you could do worse than the Image Inject plugin. First, yes a plugin that injects things into your WordPress install does sound a bit scary. But, putting the name aside, what it does is add a search box to your post editor screen. Simply enter…
