Obviously, it will develop faster with input, but I hope that it will build some audience over time. So far other bloggers have made me feel more connected to the place I live.

And it has taken over a year to build up a local audience, tho there are promotional tactics that I haven't tried. I did collect local email addresses for a couple of mailings, which resulted in readers -- and a small backlash, because I was in essense spamming in my own small way. One of these days Real Soon Now, I'm going to get business cards printed up and I might do some small 8-1/2 x 11 posters for a few business windows. What has surprised me is the number of readers I've accumulated <i>outside</i> of Prescott. Yes, a lot from Phoenix aand Calif. (many of whom are probably considering relocating), but a surprising number from around the world! What a strange picture of our little city they must be getting!
