Hi Lysa.. I wish I could help you, but no one reads my blogs either way. :)  Just the last two featured ones got some activity. I read somewhere that the AR owners are still working on a improving the dashboard, and I suspect (my opinion) that they may do a combination of the old one with the new 'scrolling one'.

I would say, keep posting.. people with the interest will find you online. It will be in cyberspace for ever, so I say don't worry about the short term views. Your contribution may help impact one person's life.. and that should be worth it. Just put tags that are relevant so the search engines pick it up. I know it's hard to make a difference.. and lots of times we may feel like we aren't.. but lives do get touched.. and you may never know about it.

ciao paisana!!

Thanks Nick, THat's the 2nd smile you gave me this week!  I did read your post on the Curb Appeal and it was great! It's a good feeling to get a featured post isn't it? Ciao!

Ditto for me as well. I'm seeing less readership than in the old days, probably because there are so many more posts to choose from. -Charles

I don't see to much difference personally. Some they comment , some not.But probably there are so many forums that many AR members don't bother with the dashboard and go directly to their favorite forum...let's not forget that localism.com may be away to create a niche with the public.
