Looking at the numbers a bit, October was a bit of a down month for me. I wasn't able to write as much as I would have liked to, and what posts I did do, I felt like I was pressing with a lot of them. Unsurprisingly, the most popular days involved the Tag Team I did with Brenna McCabe, followed by some original research on the Boston Red Sox's free agency options. The Tag Team appealed to my Facebook friends, and the Red Sox post did well with Twitter friends.
So for November, my goal is to put some more effort and care into my posts, and that means focus. Normally, if I spend a bit more time on an entry and write it the night before it is due, then it is better received and more popular. It's kind of like doing a report for school... sigh. I can't escape it even though I graduated two years ago!
