influence pedaling

(pun intended)

This is a nice motivation to keep blogging:

If you have a blog that is read by more than a few dozen readers, then you are making a bigger impact than you probably realize. If you have 50 people reading your blog, then you have more people in your classroom than most professors at Harvard. If you have 90 readers, then you have more people in your 'pews' than most pastors have in their churches every Sunday. And if you have more than 1,000 readers a month, you have a larger 'circulation' than most poetry and short story magazines.

My depressive side would have me think I had less influence than an ESL class in Casper Wyoming...
