Revelation and Rebirth in Blogging

After authoring this blog for the past six years (almost!), I have noticed that its one persistent flaw is that nobody reads it.  Readers come and go, but the regular readership is probably less than six or eight, and one-time viewers are few and very quiet.  The reason for this is obvious: my content is a blatantly self-indulgent series of tracts on whatever I happen to be thinking about or doing at a particular time.  The effect is that the uncertainty as to whether a reader will find the upcoming entry interesting is so enormous that they are better off spending their time reading, say, The Times or The Economist or The Becker-Posner Blog (I concede that it probably helps that the latter is written by a Nobel laureate). It is simply ludicrous to expect a nontrivial number of readers to be compelled by enough of my ephemeral pet-interests, like Monte Carlo methods in tax policy or Esperanto, to justify regular readership.
