Comments on: Are You Getting The Most Out Of Pages On Your Blog? http://suewaters.com/2009/02/22/are-you-getting-the-most-out-of-pages-on-your-blog/ Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:39:50 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 By: Sue Waters http://suewaters.com/2009/02/22/are-you-getting-the-most-out-of-pages-on-your-blog/comment-page-1/#comment-2999 Sue Waters Sun, 07 Jun 2009 11:35:18 +0000 http://aquaculturepda.edublogs.org/?p=1084#comment-2999 Definitely my About page is visited more on this blog compared to The Edublogger. However I often think that is because people are searching for my contact details when they have problems with their blogs. When I did the original 31 Days to Build a Better blog back in 2007 I did create a squeeze page. It was quite time consuming and didn't necessarily drive people deeper into my blogs. I did consider creating a page based on Best posts, popular posts etc for both my blogs when I wrote this post but am still in a few minds about it. I'm not sure if there is an easy answer and am happy for people to discuss whether they think I should or shouldn't do this.

It is more of an issue on The Edublogger because people frequently return for specific posts. Search works well when you know the name of the post. Don't tell Ken Allen but I'm probably going to have to admit defeat and insert a Best of - at least on The Edublogger. Know the feeling Marie – I have the same problem.

For an experience blogger like myself you can write a comment below the comment I left on your blog and I will normally see it because I use comment tracking services that lets me know of new comments. However since you will be commenting on other student blogs I would recommend that you pop over to their blog - like you did with me and leave a comment. Perhaps you might say thanks for the comment you left on my blog and these are my thoughts on your questions. Thanks for your feedback about my blog. I will let you in on a secret I really want a new theme but not sure which. Good question.
