Quick Note: One Month Old!

So today is tweedle dee tweedle dom's 1 month anniversary. I know, right? I'm impressed too. Because I've gotten such wonderful feedback from friends, family, and other visitors I've decided to not only keep it going, but to implement two solid changes

First is that as of today, I will open all posts to commentary. I've had it closed because when I was first starting, it got reeeeally depressing to see post after post with 0 comments. Now that I have a few regular readers, I'm hoping that you guys will give me feedback on posts and offer your own input into the wide panoply of subjects that occur to me. This will also be an opportunity for you to request post topics, or let me know about any news or information that might make a good addition to the blog. So do me a favor and look back through the past month of blog entries and comment away. It'll validate my purpose on earth. I'm not kidding. Do it. 

Second is that I've invited some friends to contribute to my blog in their various areas of expertise. Over the next few weeks I'll introduce new members of the tweedle team. I figured it might be nice to have other sources of information other than me, and it'll ensure that there's always something new for you to look at. I'll continue posting daily, of course, and I won't stick to any subject but keep your eyes peeled for the new voices of my music, technology, politics, movies, science, fashion, and other experts. 

Finally, I'm going to make a quick note about advertising. I post some blog entries in my Facebook status and that seems to work fairly well, but it makes me feel sort of like a digital slut. I'll keep doing that unless someone casually mentions to me that I need to stop being such an intellectual exhibitionist or they'll stab me in the neck. I try to comment on other blogs to see if they'll return the favor and come visit my site.  Today, I'll send out a mass Facebook message to all of my friends and see if that ups my traffic as well. That's about all I can do to promote myself. 

After that, what I need is help from my readers-- word of mouth truly is the most powerful form of advertising. If there's post that you think someone will like, send them a link via e-mail. If there's a post you really like, post it in your Facebook status.  Generally speaking, if you like what I have to say, bookmark the blog, come back often, and recommend it to your friends, family, and coworkers. 

Thanks for a fantastic month. Hopefully its the first of many.

xx dom.
