***Gonna try something a little different here***

As you long-time readers know, I usually divide my post into three sections: Words (for my writing efforts); Weights (my fitness efforts); and Whatever (for, well, whatever else strikes my fancy to talk about at the time.) I originally created such artificial categories to help me focus on my (then) major interests when I created this blog. The divisions proved useful when I had three blogs. Even after I abandoned the other two, I maintained the three out of habit.

Now I wonder if the divisions have hurt my readership. When I check out a blog, for example, I usually only read the most recent entry. I presume many of y’all do the same. Since I usually start my post discussing my writing efforts (or lack of), I may lose those who are not interested in such topics. This is especially the case for those who like to read my daily activities which are usually found under the Whatever heading.

Thus, starting today, I’m discontinuing the artificial categories in the hopes that readership will pick up. I know it’s a hopeful wish: greater folks than yours truly have tried and failed, but what’s the purpose of a public diary if one doesn’t have readers.

So on that note…. (to be continued)
