Calling My Psychiatrist, Again
Last summer, Copyblogger blew my mind with this post, "Do You Make These Mistakes With Your Blog?" After that, Claire Zulkey did a great post riffing off his essay. Read her for some giggles.

Anyway, I've made every single one of Copyblogger's mistakes at some point. This was my most glaring error:

"Do you use user-unfriendly RSS options that you bury at the bottom of the page, and leave out an email subscription option altogether?

"I can only label this as a disease of the blogging mind. You do all that hard work to get everything else just right, and yet you rely on people to remember to come back on their own? That’s just self-destructive. Paging Dr. Freud!"

In honor of my favorite shrink, I am beginning a bi-monthly campaign--urging my readers to look up in the upper right hand corner of this blog where there is a Very Special Option that reads "Enter email below to subscribe."
