I'm in the same boat you are... we all *know* that the key to blog success is to stay on topic, and yet we continue to write wildly varied posts because that's more fun! I could never maintain a single-topic blog, so I cater to the tiny, fractional audience that is perfectly content to read about algorithms and fashion.I found your blog a loooong time ago when I was trying to figure out why a div with rounded borders was looking funny in Chrome. I got so excited by the thoroughness of your collection of renders that I read a few recent posts, got excited by those, and subscribed. :3 I’m glad you liked my post!

If you count paragraphs of comments, you're doing pretty well. Provoking that sort of thoughtful and thorough response is something you should be proud of.You and I both fall into the 'write about whatever catches our fancy' pile, which is a tough way to build an audience. Someone comes for the eggs and then checks what the latest post is about only to discover it's about anything discovering latitude when you can't see the sky. Is there <em>anything</em> else to be found on this blog about cooking? No. <em>No bookmark for you!</em> You know, Jesse, you may not get frequent comments, but when people do put in their two cents, it’s usually about $20 instead.

I definitly see myself having gone through the posting cat pictures phase. I hope I've entered phase 3. I persevere despite a lack of comments, and that makes me really wonder about myself. Rhymes with narcicism? Folks should know their comments are appreciated by more than just the author. On MR&HBI I miss comments from Keith and Bob and Bill. And John surfaces just often enough to poke us with his briliance before disappearing again. Breakfast with MR&HBI (and bacon) how can I start the day any better? ouch. that fella’s 4 stages of blogging is uncomfortably close to the bone.
