Blog Concerns
Hello Everyone,
Recently I've noticed a drastic drop in the number of people viewing my blog. I'm kind of curious and concerned about why this is happening. I expect a drop in the offseason, but also I would think it would pick up around draft time. That doesn't seem to be the case. I now only have around 20% of the people viewing my blog that I did in the past. I'm a bit concerned that this number will drop even more in the summer. I'm curious as to what those of you that read my blog seem to think the problem is. What can I change or do to fix my blog? I'd appreciate any feedback you can give me in the comment section below.
Thanks,
Captainblue
