This is the fiftieth post on the Fuse blog. In the spirit of using arbitrary milestones as worthy of note, I will now take stock. No, not make stock, that would take much more in the way of root vegetables and animal carcasses than I have right now.

Over the last five months, we have had 49 posts, written by 14 authors, and more than 8000 page views (yeah, I wrote it that way because I know it doesn’t mean ‘more than 8000 readers’). There has also been a lot of #fuseblog twittering, coffee room chats, and (you surely didn’t think it could be any other way?) blog-related committee discussions.
I have enjoyed myself. I have learnt a bit about community and herding cats, I have made some real-life and virtual friends, I have enjoyed the discipline of having to write 500 words for public consumption every week, and I got some good marks for the two pieces of coursework that this blog has contributed to (you surely didn’t think I just did it for a laugh?). I think the other writers have enjoyed it too. Perhaps more so after I decided to stop taking it quite so seriously.
From all of this, I surmise that people value both reading and contributing to the blog. But I don’t have a clear view of who you are. You also seem to be discussing it in some forums. But you aren’t leaving comments on the blog itself. We have had a grand total of 32 comments posted, of which five were spam. So that’s 27 sensible comments. From 8000 reads.
So, I would now like to invite you to use the comment box below to post your thoughts on the blog so far. What sort of things do you like? What stuff would you rather we skipped? What would you like more of? Who are you? You don’t need to tell everyone your name, but what got you here? Why are you interested in this blog? What would make you more interested?
It isn’t that tricky. Depending on how you got to this page, you either start typing straight in the white box, or you need to click where is says “x comments” in orange at the bottom of the post to get the white box to appear. After unloading your thoughts, click on the “comment as” pull-down. If you know what any of the branded options mean, select one. If not, just chose Anonymous. Then do the ‘prove you’re not a robot’ thing and you’re done. I’ll get an email. If you haven’t used bad words or been horrible about one of my friends, I’ll approve your comment and you’ll be published.
That’s it. Easy.
And, just before you get to work: thanks. Thanks to the writers, the readers, the commenters, the RTers, the quiet guidance people, and the ranty ‘advice’ people. See you all again at the next arbitrary milestone.
