I'm confused, is B) "FALSE" or "quite possibly accurate"? I don't see how it can be both. To be honest, I think it's probably an understatement, if anything.
As far as C) goes, that is what chess.com told me when I asked them about it. If they are mistaken, then perhaps you should let them know as well. In any event, I'm fairly sure I've never had a blog entry featured on chess.com's front page.
Anyhow, thank you for the advice on reaching a wider audience by regurgitating old Fischer games or perhaps advising people to update their antivirus software. If someone points a gun to my head and demands I get another hundred views I'll seriously consider giving that a shot.
Er, so to speak.
.
B) 99.999% of chess.com members are only aware of blogs shown on the front page FALSE, although quite possibly accurate in effect; I occasionally get responses to old and antiquated blogs
C) The only blogs shown on the front page are from "featured bloggers" FALSE Depending on how you define "featured blogger" I guess, a lot of blogs on the 1st page are often 100% crap and I mean 100% crap not 99.999% and I'm not being a snob - I'm being an insufferable snob - I believe the first page is the most recent blogs with no exact formula for who gets picked and who doesn't and overall it's page 1 - latest blogs /// last page - oldest blogs
I've posted about 150 blogs and I'm pretty sure (but not 99.999% sure) I know more about them than you do. As for being a "top blogger" I never set out to be one and in fact was unaware of being one (or that there were "TBs" to begin with) until I looked at the list after having posted several dozen blogs already.
Unfortunately all I can say about getting more attn is give the readers what they want - in my case lots of blogs with games by Bobby Fischer seems to have helped - and continue writing quality blogs I don't claim to be a great blogger but quite frankly a lot of "blogs" out there are a total 100% waste of time ("chess com sucks" "I don't know the difference between a blog and a forum" "testing-testing-one-two-uh, 2 1/2, 2 3/4, etc") so anything halfway decent automatically will help you to attract attention to your blog.
I'm guessing once you get one blog with several hundred or more hits it's easier to stay on readers radar than to get there in the first place
