The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Minimal literacy would seem to be a prerequisite for those talking about writing. But maybe that's just me. No, the proof is not in the pudding.

Minimal literacy would seem to be a prerequisite for those talking about writing. But maybe that’s just me.

I've been wondering about that for the longest time. Regarding readership, I've been quite happy to see my own readership reach the 4000-5000 unique visitors a month level after its first year. But I know that there is a much bigger potential audience out there. Cross-fertilization, of course, will be the key. I'm glad to see someone with your experience and knowledge entering the arena. I hope that we, and some other like-minded bloggers, can build a strongly-linked community that will serve as a major online resource. By the way, my server administrator got my blog back online almost immediately after I brought the problem to his attention. Keep sending readers over -- we'll deal with it!

Just to clarify one thing: Lifehack.org isn't really "my site", although I am the primary editor and post more often than anyone else. The site was founded by and belongs to Leon Ho, and he and our crew of great writers have built it up to what it is today. There are nearly 30 semi-regular contributors, 2 twice-weekly writers, and myself. All of them deserve credit for building the site and it's audience! (But really? It's just me, writing under 25 different names. I'm *that* productive!) (OK, not really -- but wouldn't it be a great advertisement for Lifehack.org if it were true?!) Thanks for the reverse cross-fertilizing backwards pay-it-forward link love. I'm glad to say WTC is off to a great start, thanks to you and other writers sending readers my way.
