Putting up one post amidst the thousands daily on wordpress and getting it read is not a simple task. I see it akin to posting a flyer on a giant wall covered six deep in paper and expecting someone to call. The post on Iran was intended to draw commments by whoever read it, the problem is getting people to read. I went out into the comment boards on Huffington Post and the New York Times and responded to like articles and posted the link to my story. The strategy failed to garner any comments. Aside from directly asking people to read your posts how can a blogger get reads? It is all in the venue. WordPress is a coloring board with alot of traffic and posts daily. The odds of someone stumbling on to your post becasue of tags is slim. You Tube has a great system of linking videos together to get views. I got a comment on the one post I put there within a few days after. To date 70 people have watched it. That is cool to know that there are eyes watching. With WordPress it’s hard to know how widely your work is being spread.
