HELP - Please Read This Short Message from Will

Denver, Colorado USA


I need your help. It won’t cost you any money and should only take a couple minutes unless you have a lot to say.
I would like to know who you are and what you like/don’t like about my blog! Please drop me an email at wbmahoney@gmail.com. Please let me know what kinds of stories you would like to see on my blog in the future and any other ideas.

I am able to see how many people have read each blog post but I don’t know who is reading them. I have been very pleasantly surprised by the number of people who have been reading the blog for the past 8 months. Some of the posts have had more than 100 hits! Of course, it could just be my ol' smart-assed friend, Charlie, who claims to have logged on 100 times just to make me feel good.
 
Now that I am almost done with my reports on the around-the-world trip (about 6 more posts to go), I would like to get a better idea of who my audience is and why they are reading the blog. I’m thinking of continuing it beyond the end of the trip as I have more material. For example:- A report on my 2011 trip to Ecuador to look at soil erosion issues in an Andean community and the follow-up trip by several members of Engineers Without Borders in October 2012 to implement some of my recommendations.
- Summaries of presentations by Latin Americans and others from overseas at the International Erosion Control Association’s conference which I attended in San Diego last month.
- A report on the upcoming International Soil Conservation Organization Conference in Medellín, Colombia this coming July which I am planning to attend. The conference will include field trips to a coffee growing region in the Andes and agricultural areas in Colombia’s eastern plains.
- Personal stories of my travel experiences in Ecuador, Colombia and other future trips.
So, it would help to get some feedback from you readers to help me focus my stories in directions you find interesting.

If I get some insightful feedback (good or bad) from you, I will share some of your comments in my final post in this series (probably in April). Let me know if I can use your name and city or organization if I quote you.
I hope to hear from you soon!
 
Thanks,
Will
