Could WordPress be helping my old blog?

Probably a coincidence, but I’ve gotten more comments on the Blogger version of Alaskan Librarian since I moved my blog here to WordPress than I’ve gotten in months. Are people discovering my blog on WordPress and then hopping over to Blogger to comment? Doesn’t seem likely. But then where is the Blogger traffic coming from?

Daniel’s Shared Items

On the right hand side of the blog, you’ll see a little list of “Daniel’s Shared Items.” This box comes from Google Reader, which I am moving to from Bloglines. I hope it will help solve a problem of mine — keeping neat stuff from piling up because I don’t have time to blog about [...]

Alaskan Librarian stays active, use WORM

Hi All, and especially to Walt and Norma who responded to my post questioning the continued existence of Alaskan Librarian, the blog. After taking their input and thinking it over, I’m keeping Alaskan Librarian an active blog. Why? For several reasons:

Like Norma says, people might be picking up on links but not visiting the blog.

Time to Fold the Tent? (Not for Norma)

ISBN: 9781419596063 1419596063
It seems like it could be a helpful book. People are likely already blogging about [...]

Gulls and empty blog

Bird eying menu
Originally uploaded by AlaskanLibrarian.
Since I let Sunday slide by without a photo set, I wanted to introduce another photo set before the week ended. This is my set of seagull photographs. This picture here is probably the most interesting of my nine gull photographs. This bird is sitting atop thousands of spawning salmon. [...]

Catholic Worker Digest moves

If you’ve followed my work on LISNews, then you might be familar with the Catholic Worker Digest I put together. I’ve moved it to its own page on my web site. There’s a link to the new page from the personal projects page it used to live on.
Sharp observers will note that I’m two issues [...]

Two Alaska Library blogs worth reading and emulating

Like their “down south” counterparts, some Alaska libraries have started blogs. So far I’m aware of two, but they are both well reading even though they do very different things with their blogs:

Seldovia Public Library blog – Official blog of the Seldovia, Alaska public library. This blog appears to be used mostly for library news [...]
