WM, honestly, I don't know. A decade or so ago, I serialized a read-through of Aristotle's "Poetics." Every Sunday, a new post. That garnered a lot of followers including a group of Aristotelian scholars who added their insights. But blogging has changed and I find there is less interaction with readers. That's okay. My site traffic is actually higher than it's ever been. It's just with so many other platforms where people can express their opinions, I suspect there is probably a downturn of interactivity with blogging.

Good luck with your projects!
