welcome

so, we'll try this for now. i'll attempt to configure this to autopost every day at 9 am so that we can use the comment thread for discussions. of course, discussions are pretty rare, but hey, maybe freeing them from the shackles of facebook will boost participation.

either that, or maybe i need to find a way to mention guess my word on national TV. any ideas?

  1. Keep winning until this is the most interesting anecdote in your life! If you're really interested in broader participation, try Tweeting the words of the day. "Yesterday's word was SCIMITAR. Can you guess today's? bit.ly/XXXXX

  2. Actually, I think you get a lot of participation with GMW...and I do mention it to people. I found GMW via Ben Bass's blog, so I will try a mention on mine. (Ben has 32 official Followers; I have fewer. We do what we can for our tens of readers...)

    On a person to person basis, I do try to mention it only to people who won't look at me oddly and edge away; not everyone is a vocabulary geek.

  3. Amy mentioned that she's getting a lot of traffic on her site from people looking for you. Maybe a small plug there could help.
