Blog vs CodeProject, compare and contrast
It's been over a year since I started this blog. And I like it. I like the online presence it gives. I am gaining a few new contacts and friends and in general it's a cool thing. After the last blogger's meeting at the local Microsoft offices I was full of motivation. I have written more posts in the last week than the last 3 months. (Only 6, but anyhow) I signed up with Feedburner and I've been tracking stats. Slowly growing...
Today I decided to check up on the number of page views of my CodeProject articles. I have only written two articles, but they have been viewed by --- 26,000 --- people!
If you are interested in the articles, here they are:
The blog is obviously more personal and expressive and I get to decide on the content without rigid guidelines.
For now I'll continue with the blog and I'm preparing a few posts on important design principles. I guess the best thing is I don't have to make a black or white choice.
But, you can't argue with the numbers and it just makes me wonder were to focus.
Or maybe numbers isn't everything???
