April 24, 2021 by

The idea of changing focus comes up when you don’t want what you asked for. All bloggers want more traffic, to reach more markets, to find new readers who stick around. I did. I still do, but with a changing focus. I’m not so crazy about this particular dream come true. But the results? I’m […]

BLOG TRAFFIC: BOOMERPDX FROM NATION TO NATION

December 15, 2020 by

Blog traffic map via google analytics. The big difference between the top map and every other map of the world is that this one tracks where the hits, the readers, the bots, showing up on boomerpdx originate.

A PERSONAL BLOG FOR PUBLIC TIMES

August 14, 2017 by

  Personal blog speaks to the heart, not the wallet.
