While I appreciate all the good comments on what makes a web or blog site succeed, here's my challenge to you: IMHO, no one has really divulged the real essence of success. This is not to demean or discredit any of the many wonderful responses, all of which are correct and some are rather comprehensive too. But, I asked a person, who I choose not to mention by name at this time, who has one of the most popular blogs on the web. He told me the secret as regards Blog Sites. I pondered in new directions and have come up with my own answer that satisfies me to some extent. Can anyone guess what's been missing from all the wise and correct replies? ===== Steven Streight Web Usability Analyst & Content Writer Blogologist Digital Media Artist Virtual Instrument Music Composer http://www.vaspersthegrate.blogspot.com http://www.streightsite.blogspot.com http://www.arttestexplosion.blogspot.com EMAIL: vaspersthegrate at yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
