Time for a little reader interaction, folks. I’ve got a task for you, but don’t worry, it’s quite simple:

• If you read this blog on a regular basis (once a week or more), then please leave a comment below. Tell me what you like and/or dislike about the blog; if you have any ideas or recommendations for improvement, please detail them in your comment. If you would prefer that your comment not be published, please say so, and I’ll keep it private.

I’m trying to gauge the amount of traffic and readership that comes through here, so I can tweak things if necessary. Thanks in advance for your help!

It’s been a year to the day since I launched Text and Violence. Surprisingly, I’ve found enough to complain about these past twelve months. For the time being, I’m going to continue posting as normal, but I may change things up in coming months. Or I may not. I really haven’t decided what to do yet; this was always meant to be an “experimental” blog, with no real sense of permanence. We shall see, but I just thought I’d give the three of you that read my ramblings a bit of a heads-up.

It’s been almost nine months since I launched this blog, and I surprisingly haven’t run out of things to be angry about. Maybe I’ll make it to a year?

The new year has brought with it, thus far, not too many things for me to be pissed off about. So I’m going to take the lazy American route, and leave some of my future topics in your hands, my dear readers. Leave me some comments below (or send me an email), and give me suggestions of things you’d like to see me fly off the handle about. You can even list what pisses you off; perhaps we’ve got something in common? (I’m sure you’re praying otherwise.)

Get writing! Become part of the process! Democracy now!

I just performed a rather hefty upgrade to this blog’s core software, so if you run into any glitches or other problems, please bring them to my attention.
