Cos I just spent an age typing stuff under each pic. Probably a waste of time. <a href="http://wottotees.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3273/2726867808_7ae49b9374.jpg?v=0"></a> I just think a blog should have stuff to read.

I have a short attention span anyways 32131 Post 2009-05-24T16:20:46-04:00 903771 12224 2009-05-24T16:20:59-04:00 i think it really depends on how interesting the blog image/title is. 32131 Post 2009-05-24T16:27:45-04:00 903801 13245 2009-05-24T16:27:45-04:00 I read it 32131 Post 2009-05-24T16:50:56-04:00 904051 3021 2009-05-24T16:50:56-04:00 <blockquote><cite>trustno1 said:</cite> I don't. twitter has made blogs kinda irrelevant imo. you can pretty much sum up your thoughts in a few tweets and be done with it.

I get a lot of feedback from the people who read my blog, and basically none from Twitter! 32131 Post 2009-05-24T17:01:59-04:00 904151 7984 2009-05-24T17:01:59-04:00 <blockquote><cite>atomicchild said:</cite> I read it</blockquote> Thanks man. 32131 Post 2009-05-24T17:10:34-04:00 904221 2991 2009-05-24T17:10:34-04:00 <blockquote><cite>wotto said:</cite> <blockquote><cite>atomicchild said:</cite> I read it</blockquote> Thanks man.</blockquote> you are on a roll man.....I have been looking up to you for sometime now.....you are the t shirt king.... 32131 Post 2009-05-24T17:17:53-04:00 904251 3021 2009-05-24T17:17:53-04:00 <blockquote><cite>Random said:</cite> <blockquote><cite>trustno1 said:</cite> I don't. twitter has made blogs kinda irrelevant imo. you can pretty much sum up your thoughts in a few tweets and be done with it.

Unless you specifically writing something that prompts a response (like ending your post with a question. Most people can't be arsed to comment. 2. Folks will read content that's worth reading. People are skimmers. I went to your blog and scanned everything you wrote under each photo and got the gist of it...you're telling me where to get the shirt. The one that caught my eye (Righteous Enterprise) I read closer because I had an interest in it. That's pretty much how everyone reads nowadays :) If you want more folks to actually read what you write, it will have to be more meaningful content. Your opinion on the state of t-shirt design, tips on how to win contests, etc. That stuff has meat, and people will read it religiously. 3. All text you write is gold for search engines, so yes for sure keep on writing as much relevant copy as you can per blog entry, as that's vital to your SEO. 32131 Post 2009-05-24T18:33:22-04:00 904841 11937 2009-05-24T18:33:22-04:00 <blockquote><cite>ShirtFight.com said:</cite> You gotta remember wotsky: 1.

I'm sure more people read it than I think but I was really trying to work out whether it's worth the time. That blog was originally for me to keep track of all my prints so putting it out there for others to read was a change in its use. 2. Yeah I know I could write more buddy but I'm not much of a chatter and honestly my opinion on T-shirt design probably isn't that interesting. It's a lot for me as an artist to put out any information. 3. Good point. Thanks man, your an awesome member of this community. 32131 Post 2009-05-25T03:06:53-04:00 908191 2991 2009-05-25T03:06:53-04:00 maybe try something like crazyegg.com, might give you insight into what people a looking at/for. Youll see where and when people click etc but not really know if they read the stuff :P Might be worth a short trial run, some of the webby dudes might tell you otherwise tho :P 32131 Post 2009-05-25T03:50:37-04:00 908381 3804 2009-05-25T03:50:37-04:00 <blockquote><cite>jumpy said:</cite> maybe try something like crazyegg.com, might give you insight into what people a looking at/for.

It's good to see who is doing what and the progress you guys are making and so forth. From time to time, something does inspire me. So yep, it's definitely important to me. 32131 Post 2009-05-25T04:05:41-04:00 908511 303 2009-05-25T04:05:41-04:00 I also love reading them too :) I'll comment on yours more often Wotto!
