B-L-O-G
So, we’ve been told more than once over the last few months that our big break might come along if we start a unique blog for a unique community. If you’ve considered starting one about crosswords puzzles, I’m sorry to tell you it’s already been done. The Press & Sun Bulletin in Binghamton reports that my one of my former college professors is bringing in an average of 12,000 visitors a day to his blog, Rex Parker Does the NYT Crossword Puzzle.
Check out the sidebar, where he asks for donations “to help keep this site strong, independent, and ad-free.” What do you guys think about this? If his readership grows from 12,000 to 12 million, maybe he’ll be able to quit his job teaching 17th Century British Literature and move somewhere slightly warmer than Binghamton. Then again, with a topic so specific, is that even a possibility?
P.S. It seems my old prof has the honor of winning DorkFest ‘08.
