I Need to Be More Like Wil Wheaton.

Wil Wheaton has the right idea when it comes to blogs. He updates often and about many different topics. He has posts that are personal, posts that are basically advertisements for things that he thinks are cool, and posts that are pretty geeky or only of interest to a small group of people. This mix of topics seems to drive a lot of traffic and gathers plenty of google juice. Of course his Star Trek celebrity doesn’t hurt, but I don’t think that’s what propels his blogging success. If I had to pin it down to one aspect, I’d have to say it was his constant posting and attention to his readers.

Here’s a video that uses sex appeal to lure readers.

I need to post more often and about more varied subjects. I’m going to try to post everyday, but more importantly I’m going to try to be more diverse in what I post. Most people that visit this site probably assume I pretty much live in the Matrix and eat Linux kernels for breakfast. True I am the chosen one, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like to have fun like normal people. I also need to work on deathbydvd.com and add more content, but that is another issue. Stay tuned for more.
