Simon Phipps's personal commentary

(Text) Field of Dreams [MetaBlog]

How does one penetrate the 'inner circle' of weblogs? I've been writing this for many months now (with a few gaps recently, but mostly consecutively) and I suspect I am not part of the mainstream, even if I am blogging in a store lobby in Seattle via WiFi (a sure indication of commitment, no?). I link to other bloggers, but I'm not sure that's enough, Robert (and I have an RSS feed, Doc). The world of blogging is not one big happy family and the fact I am not part of the factions seems to have something to do with it too.

And maybe my design is lacking; the blogroll is on a seperate page, and my low-power ISP doesn't let me run a comments system or track referrers (maybe I have a vast audience & don't know?). I'm not willing to sink to the level of linking Winer and Searles just to improve my Whuffie (well, maybe just this once). Maybe blogs in framesets are a big no-no. So suggestions & discussion welcome - gentle, now!
