first of all, I want to congratulate you for the kind of information you gather on this blog . Keep up the good work .
Second, I would agree with Lorraine on the POLL part. Is would be usefull to develop monthly statistics related to the content of the blog . Not only for visitors, but in general.
HIV/AIDS describes a strong common interest for many of us.
Best Regards,
Johny

Encourage more and more participants including the most outrageous points of views. Avoid censoring disagreeable opinions. The idea being to bring out those uncomfortable notions and develop better responses to get proponents to think more deeply about their notions. Sidelining alienates. It’s a good thing to encourage participation even where there’s wrongheadedness because we can learn from that how to develop better responses.

I have enjoyed the merging of new media advances and application to the health world, especially since that is what I mainly write about as well. I appreciate the honesty with this 6 month review and would agree that prevention efforts as well as any local events.

I appreciate the “6 Months” review. It was quite good and well written. It does seem to focus more on what you have done with regard to care providers more so than on prevention or research efforts, which you might want to address in a future blog. For the 1 year anniversary, you might want to chart out increases in traffic, as well as do an index of topics. Also, how do you know the folks going to your site are part of the target populuation for the MAI and not just general service providers?

Congratulations on your blog – it is undoubtedly of great service to your readers, and you are to be commended for your efforts.
I have been blogging now for 2 years and I know how frustrating it can be, in terms of understanding how well you are reaching your target audience, and of what benefit your blog is to them. Perhaps you could encourage audience participation by adding a poll(s) to your blog. You could also write a monthly newsletter that your readers subscribe by email to – if nothing else you will be able to gauge the level of interest.
Hope this helps and good luck.
