Self interest? Really? Well that is quite funny indeed. Yes you're right - as I post links to my recaps, I actually hire staff to draft them up ahead of time while basking in the sun on the sands of Palm Beach benefitting from the life changing revenue my blog rakes in.
Yeah, OK. Actually, the truth may frighten you. There is no ulterior motive to my blog (sorry to spoil the surprise) other than wanting to write about hockey and my varied interests, share thoughts with others, and promote...get ready for this...hockey. And - even better - I write because it's enjoyable to me. It's a fun way for me to contribute back to the hockey community; as well as for them to share their thoughts (and of course, if they disagree/agree with anything I may have said)
Here's the best part. People actually come to it because they (gasp) decide to click or not click on the link for that game. They're not subjected to my thoughts solely on Plattsburgh. They're not subjected to idle chit-chat twenty pages in. They have a place they can either check out or not; and a forum they can either participate in or not. Wow that's pretty revolutionary eh?
Wanna know what's even more insane? Nobody pays me for my writing, nobody is charged to visit my blog, and in fact I actually choose to pay for it because it seems to be a shared treat.
Oh! I have committed atrocities by reaching beyond the closed circle and drawing new faces in. How DARE I do such a thing?
If you're not interested in my blogging, that's fine - and truthfully I couldn't care less. Here's a surprise - when a thread comes up about "Plattsburgh vs XXXX" from TacoRob there will likely be a quick thought or two and a recap link. Hopefully, others will contribute thoughts about the game and as soon as the topic is no longer relevant it drops down in the list. Pretty wild stuff.
