Another quarter has flown by and its time again to take a look back at the posts of second quarter. The One, Out of Many blog has undergone a few subtle changes during the winter season. Most notably a shift in opinion has occurred on the blog. While much of my first quarter was spent stating my own thoughts and ideas, during second quarter I leaned more on my audience. The blogs after my first meta-post saw the rise of the question (How does history get edited over time?, When will we run out of time?, Should the government have the right to raise the income tax during wartime?, While his talent is incredible, wouldn't it seem more just, and potentially wiser, to higher an unemployed person with some talent over an ex-con with a lot of talent?) and it seems my more reader-empathetic style has proved successful garnering a whooping 5 comments for the quarter and more importantly leaving only one post un-commented. The reason behind the changes are two-fold, one good and one bad. For the good, they reflect a concerted effort on my part to make my posts more inviting to readers expressed in my last meta-post. And on the bad side, they are partly due to lack of passion or concrete opinion on some of the topics I wrote about. This struggle to find synthesis between posts which are opinionated and passionate, and posts which attract comments has separated itself as the definitive challenge in writing my blog. And so the quest for my perfect post continues.
