A personal note

Rarely do I put anything unrelated to history up, but for once I'll make an exception. For the last two months or so, I've been promoting the site around. And I want to do more. But it has been pretty successful. Despite the counter on the main page, a lot of the items are linked to directly. So if someone clicks on a link from another webpage to get to A Brief Account of the Devastation of the Indies by Bartoleme de Las Casas and they just read that without going into the main webpage, their visit won't show up on the counter. With Columbus day just past, over a hundred people have done just that. And despite the two-month-old counter reading just under 350, I know that since the first of the year, we've gotten several thousand. Every time someone links to the webpage from their blog, I can see a handful or more of people jump in because of it. What is strange is that though it is clear that people are reading the site, I get virtually no contact from it - besides the occasional thanks from an underfunded progressive high school social studies teacher in the middle of nowhere. I don't really want to do a survey, but I want to get more feedback. What people want to see more of. I'm also curious as about how I should go and promote it more.

I think I'm going to start up a new project soon. Not to replace this, but in addition. Something with a little more fire and secrecy. History Is A Weapon is intended to serve as a specific type of resource. I'm beginning to think about constructing something forward-looking. Something to scare the enemy. Something to organize with.
