What Would You Like? I’m All Ears!

June 16, 2010 · 3 Comments

July will mark an anniversary for me. It will be two years since I started this blog. It’s time for some reflection and looking ahead. As part of that process I posted a poll in April asking readers how many years they had been personal historians. I wanted to get a better sense of who was reading my blog so that I might serve you better. Thanks to all of you who took the time to participate. Here are the results:

How many years have you been a personal historian?

49% – 1 to 4 years

30% – 10 years or more

21 % – 5 to 9 years

I wasn’t surprised by the fact that almost half of you are relatively new to personal history work. What did somewhat surprise me were the number of  experienced personal historians with over 10 years experience.

For the most part I feel that my blog content serves newcomers to the field quite adequately. Am I right?  But I wonder about those of you  who are  experienced personal historians.  What could I do to better support you? So I have some questions  that if you could find the time to answer, would help guide me in the year ahead.

  • What would make this blog a “must read” destination for you?
  • What would you like to see more of?
  • Do you have a  favorite post topic? [ Monday's Link Roundup, Rants, Free Resources, How to's,  etc.]
  • What would you like to see less of?
  • Are the articles about the right length or are you looking for more?

I hope to hear from you and with your help make this a better blog!
