I have a typepad blog, http://gaylen.typepad.com, and have just posted a few new blogs. I have pondered the question, if I blog and no one reads them because no one knows they are there, is it still blogging? You know, the old question, if a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound?

I could have the best posts ever at my outside ActiveRain site, but where do the people find me? How can they read my inner most thoughts? What will become of these masterpieces in the over all scheme of blogging? Heady stuff don't you think?

As I mulled this over in my mind the light came on!  Go to my fellow ActiveRainers and they will have answers. They will know how one gets an outside blog viewed. They will come to my rescue will intelligent insight and pithy words of wisdom.

Or maybe they will agree that if you blog in a forest and no one reads the post it isn't really blogging. Or is it?

Gaylen:  I think posting to Localism would be a good way to get the word out to the public.  Otherwise... by only blogging in the forest, you might be "barking up the wrong tree." 

If you don't do that, the general public will most certainly "leave" you alone.  So, perhaps you could "branch" out to get better known.  Better to do that than to be "knot" very well known.  LOL... Karen Anne

I'd recommend importing your blog feed into your typepad site. That way you get points and still have your real site for IDX and other things. Contact me through email if you'd like more information. IT's what I do on my blog. www.rondelwilliams.com

Gaylen, The good thing about blogging on AR is that you get feedback (good and bad)

If you are interested in Rondel's post, he can help you. Drop me an email if you have questions.

Best regards from Charlottesville!
