I like to think that there is valuable content here at Ralph Carlson Blog. I also like to think that I am witty, charming and handsome despite substantial evidence to the contrary. It is not about what I think, however. No matter how appealing I find this blog, it will only grow and prosper if readers like it and spread the word that RCB is a good read. I put in some hours preparing what I hope is good content about topics that are important with a focus on people who are retired or getting ready to retire. I think that the opportunities of retirement are under appreciated and that most retirement focused blogs miss the passion of living full out.
I don’t know what message readers may be getting from RCB and I don’t know if all the features are valuable so today I ask each reader to complete the questions below. Don’t think that your opinion is not important. I truly need to know what readers think about the blog, if I want to find the right content and focus the message. If I go off on a tangent that pleases me but falls flat with my current readers, then I will lose those readers and most likely not attract replacement. Please take the few minutes to answer the questions. I know that better understanding of what readers like- and don’t like here will help me focus my attention and time on what is important. If I miss something that you think I need to know, please leave a comment or send an email.

Bob@JuicyMaters’s last Blog Post ..Do ya like good music
I didn’t promise to abandon my responsibilities here. I have the entire week prescheduled. I don’t think I will be trying skydiving even at my tender years. My wife, however, is hot to do it. I told here that I will video her descent. You can see it first right here.
Untill now – did you mean “until” (2 comments untill now)
The first question may be different if someone gets your blog RSS feed or not – I read the RSS feed blogs daily – the ones that don’t have a feed get read when i remember. (I get yours RSS feed)
Jeni,
I always forget about RSS. I asked about it in an earlier poll but this time it slipped my mind.
I don’t even know if my feed works…
Bob@JuicyMaters’s last Blog Post ..Need MORE evidence of Pacific Yurt quality
Ralph…I’m sometimes faced with the content/viewer response dilemma. But of late, come to the conclusion to just “screw it’ and write what suits my fancy. I enjoy it more that way, and if people dig it too, all the better.
Hansi’s last Blog Post ..Help! I’m Being Brain Washed
Hansi,
One can never be sure of getting comments out of drug addled old men anyway.
