The Data Analysis

I have just gone over the first ten days, throughly. I try to use figures that will keep the blogs on an even keel but they go all over the place and I just have to accept. Apparently too, all the blogs have come to a wall. But now I am certain that there must be another wall later on and this one can be overcome.

Why? Because the blogs are not yet fully formed. They are in their infancy. Are there any experts out there blogging with us that know everything? I know one thing, I must make our blogs "social media" and that means Guest Authors or at least other people regularly contributing opinion. It must not be only me. I found this secret gladly. Even then my prediction is 15000 total hits by Town Dancer before March 31. Not possible?

The best example is, how good Dancing in the Dark has been doing with Frank Sierra in charge. That is his viewpoint and very necessary for the good of the entire dance community. Do I have to agree with everything he covers? Of course not. To each his own. And we need many more. I do not know if I have to concentrate on our best blog or our worst. I am still thinking about it.

I tend to favour the worst because I am always for the underdog. So it is almost unanimous, the Pineapple blog. Though I am still thinking about it. I will make my decision by March 31. No use flogging a dead horse. Any of you that can help, we, along with the rest of this group, would be eternally grateful.

We also have to realize that the vast majority of our people are "social" dancers and not inclined to be exhibition and competition dancers. Those dancers are a separate and distinct people. No hu hu, just accept them all as part of our dance community. But also accept the fact that they are not all there is, to our dance community.
