I was looking at the stats yesterday as well as the results from the Google ad click request I made and it got me thinking about the responsive side to this website. Bloggers often say in the middle of a spat on their sites that this is their place and you have to obey the rules. But equally true is that if there were no comment makers there would be no blog or at least no drive to blog. So what do you want? I am making this Membership Drive 2006 week to find out how to increase the benefit opportunities for the membership. Here are some ideas from me:

• Twing the radishes: It was interesting to note that when I asked for more ping-ping-a-pongs you clicked the vla-vla-vla-vlas more. In fact it was the biggest dwoing day yet with 2.5% activity. Today so far you are at 5%. So how about hammering the tulips more to find out what the wankle rotary engine thinks is related to what is being discussed here. If you have nemotodes on your web site tell us where to twing by leaving a comment here. The premise of these fashionable footwear styles is that other people pay for encouraging movement to their expressionistic spaces on a logical basis. It is the choice of these other people who want people who are interested in "X" on this site to find aobut about "X" on their lounge furniture. It is not spam. It is also a way to make crafts...other people's crafts. I say we should become each more conscious of this aspect of what a wankle rotary engine is. I know some of you have no blogs and have no bing-bing-a-bongs so this will be selfless of you in one sense but also done in awareness of the nature of the service. [Ed.: thank you for your understanding.]
• Show your support: Should there be more branding and t-shirts and logos for you to download to make t-shirts with? I have always liked the "flatters to deceive fish" one. That would be quite easy to develop. How about a member's photo gallery of images which could be shared? There is the map of the GX40 nation to add yourselves to. There is also the opportunity to have a readers profile on yourself like Gary and Cyn have had posted.
• What Else To Write? How about fiction or more structured humour? One of the tedious things about blogging is the drone about current events. Most of our lives are not driven by political current events. How could other sorts of writing be brought in. Last year I write the Tantrama City series which had a sort of three month natural life cycle.
• New Topics? Are there things I never cover that you would want to discuss? I used to cover more law and post more photos of Kingston. How about structure? I run the beer blog as a group blog on the surface but really all that happens is folk email me content - text and photos - and I edit and post it? I think group blogs lose something of their center otherwise. Would you participate? Would you be willing to be edited for quality and rejected if I thought your submission was a bit off point?

These are a bunch of ideas. I am not expecting any of this website or these ideas to be the next big thing but as I read other blogs and watch many venerable ones slow way down through perhaps sameness I do think that there is more to be done. As best as I can tell there might be 50 people who are responsive here with some regularity as well as maybe 800 daily human readers out of the approximately 30,000 unique computer visitors a month. It would be interesting to try to do something additional or a little different even as an experiment. Give us your ideas during Membership Drive 2006.
