I just know that some people believe that reading about pop culture, in particular, is not a productive use of time. I disagree with that; it's a social lubricant, a conversation-starter, and is valuable as such. It's just a reminder -- particularly for younger practitioners -- that this blog has a business purpose as well as being (hopefully)entertaining.

Make sure to share your stats with the readers. I am already a subscriber, so my vote doesn't count much in gauging effectiveness. My blog is also about bringing current events into focus and discussing how they effect PR. What I want to know is if this direct pitch to the readership about your own blog works.
