    Honored to be mentioned. The blog just keeps getting better and better. Not sure why you haven’t asked us to buy something from you…I’m sure it’d be useful!

      You were on EO Fire? How did I miss that? Post the link here to that please. I’m sure others would love to listen.

    Great job Matt! It’s good to see your site continuing to grow.
    Sadly, I saw a pretty sizable dip in my readership this month. It’s not a big worry, just a bit disheartening.

      1. Joe Lalonde says:

        Not that comes to mind. The drop was approximately 13%. I’ve seen this happen before so I’m not concerned unless it becomes a regular occurrence.

    It’s a surprise and kind of fun to be near the top of your commenter list. Congratulations on your blog growth – you’ve earned every inch.
    Based on the discussion on FaceBook, the popularest (like that word?) one is http://www.cabinart.net/a-question-artists-don't-like/ Whenever I address that topic, people get worked up!
    I had to shut off the comments to my blog and am unable to check the stats. It’s getting moved to a new host, so maybe I’ll know how it’s growing in a week or two.
    But, I don’t care all that much about those stats. I’d rather reach people I know and get to know the people I reach than follow formulas, “drive traffic”, and all that stuff. NOT SAYING that you are doing those formulas, Matt! You definitely write great posts, and it is your responsiveness and the interaction among your “tribe” that makes this feel so friendly, authentic, and personable.
    THANK YOU, Matt McWilliams!!
