Hi, I didn't really expect this great of a response and am working on replying where I can. I'm humbled. The piece is first and foremost a polemic. In order to get Google juice many bloggers present an "if you build it, they will come story." I really believed the same thing about my writing at the time (2002-2003). However, there was a change I was missing. If I had focused more on being a better blogger (SEO, SEM, writing from a provocative passionate point of view) instead of being a better writer, I think I would have made it career-wise. I'm not passionately, "3 months into a relationship" in love with coding but am happily married to it. Thanks for reading!
