Should we do the blog here instead of here: http://scottevest.blogspot.com/
Well, after just a couple of weeks of regular postings, I am pleasantly surprised that people (apparently lots of people) are really reading this. We have gone from a Google Rank of 0 to 4 (out of 10) in just a month or so, which for those of you who know Google rankings, is really good. Also we have hundreds of RSS feed subscribers. Now having started the SeV blog using Blogger, I am faced with a pretty big dilemma.
I am not very happy with the Blogger software I am using. I think it is not very user friendly, and hard to categorize, but having started the blog here, I want to be careful before just moving it elsewhere, and potentially losing all these posts and/or inconveniencing everyone who has already subscribed.
I am considering moving the Blog to our community sections here. This was created using Vbulletin a very long time ago, and I have neglected to add much new content, other than the In the News Sections which have been kept pretty current with the hundred of articles that have been written about us.
I think Vbulletin is VERY robust, but not sure if it is the best solution for the Blog. It seems like it is Blog PLUS, which is great, assuming people really are interested and participate.
I have always envisioned this area as a place where we could easily communicate with our customers and allow our customers to converse among each other. I think we may have been a bit ahead of our time on this, but now time has caught up with all the community buzz and Web 2.0 stuff, and we have thus lagged in this process.
So, if you have an opinion, please share it here on Blogger, or here on Vbulletin. I will be posting the same post in 2 places until I decide where is best.
Thanks for every one's interest and for reading and making this a successful blog.
