Mousetrap or gourmet cheeseboard

This article is uncorrupted self-indulgence and doesn't tell you how to act no matter which in Blogger or one other tool.

But maybe it's a fine sunlight hours to ask whether your blog is a testing mouse-trap, a grotty greasy-spoon, or a delicious epicurean cheeseboard.



Confluent: very cool Blogger-users

I allow a batch of instant in support of David Kutcher, who has a very effective blog-about-blogger (Blog-Xpertise) and offers more wide-ranging blogging and web-consultancy from his company.

They act a little very cool things with Blogger.

They understand so as to in support of frequent who aren't either super-techs or big weighing machine publishers using Wordpress precisely isn't realistic.

And they've proved so as to while Blogger is a notable tool in support of getting on track, it can be configured to act precisely almost no matter which so as to needs to be ready.

But they think your readers are mice!

But now I think they got it ill-treat.

    "You need to think of your website as a digital mousetrap ... You need to make the mice to your locate, promote them to take the temptation, capture them in your trap".

Initially, this sounds cute.

But impede and think almost it in support of a minute.

How act frequent react whilst they're trapped: They panic, develop very unhelpful emotional reactions to the place they're in, clutch on to their swag, and fight to leisure activity. If they act leisure activity, they tell their type and contacts to stay well away.

And what's the end-game in support of a mouse so as to get's trapped in a ambush?  Best holder, it's released somewhere in linking the playground down the road and the depths of Connemara - a long way from contacts, type and familiar surroundings. Most likely, it meets an untimely death from ingestion poisoned cheese, or a blow to the head.

Is that really what you want for your customers  / visitors / readers / subscribers ?


If you want the "mice" to stick around, offer great cheese


Personally, I think of my website as an elegant cheeseboard - designed rigorously in support of individual visitors.

It offers a range of flavours and textures - the ones my visitors care for, and a little so as to stretch their palette a little.  It includes a little pieces especially in support of visitors who are precisely getting on track.
It's restocked habitually, with form and giving personality "cheeses" an adequate amount of deep space, so visitors can attain could you repeat that? They're looking in support of, and plus notice other attractive tidbits while they're nearby.

It's friendly and easy to use:   Mice - and web-crawling-spiders - can visit one instant they like.  Added importantly, they can leave. And whilst they act leave, there's a kind taste in their jaws, and healthy cheese in their bellies (don't cite the cholesterol!). So they can set out elsewhere, and tell their contacts almost the notable selection greater than by the side of my place. They're likely to visit again, too, as I made certain so as to they felt fine whilst they gone - the cheese was tasty and the nature pleasant.

There are a range of tools existing - and I nick a little of the the cheese into very easy to use slices in support of individuals visitors who are precisely getting on track, and leave a little more robust chunks not worth it in support of the mouse-about-the-town who's looking in support of more.

I allow a warehouse of attractive ideas (in my pre-publication blog) precisely waiting to be finished and added to the serving dish.

No single dies by the side of the finish off of a visit.

And I'm self-assured so as to, single sunlight hours, I will be able to offer my own epicurean cheese in an exclusive section, so as to the mice will recompense to progress in to based on the trust so as to we've residential in the free-cheese paradise.

What sort of blog are you building, a mouse-trap or a cheeseboard?
