A goal of mine - to improve my writing skills
So, basically I have a goal with this blog and that is to improve my writing skills. You know from reading this that I use terms such as basically and essentially too much. And not only that but with my site’s page rank rising up to 4 and some of my subpages reaching page ranks of 3 and 2, I am very proud that my blog is finally gaining recognition and readership. Plus, my FeedBurner readership more than doubled from 14 to the upper 30s. I feel proud that more and more people are reading my personal weblog and commenting on what I write. But one thing is still lacking and that would be my writing skills.
Fortunately, I have the capacity to write more than just 200 words on any blog post - with recent posts on the THL.org blog rising to 600+ posts. But I am worried that thoughts that I want to convey about my personal life and things that go way beyond my professional life. I set up 15art so that it touches not just our employees’ professional lives but it allows them to connect their professional lives to their personal lives as well. This is why we encourage and strongly assist our employees to begin and continue blogging. And - we also encourage our employees to write other such things like books and little guides. That way, they can gain skills that make them more and more attractive to other employers. Employers that they could never get jobs at to begin with.
So what I want to do over the next few months is to improve my own writing skills to make the content of my blog better and more gripping. Because most of what a blog is about is the content. This makes improving my writing skills a necessity to maintain visitor growth.

I’m worried that the improvement needed is way too much for one person to handle in a lifetime.

Improvement is not a bad thing, Matt.
