I started up a painting log describing my ongoing quest to finish a 3000 pt Space Marine force, but I'm running it a small problem. There isn't many people visiting it. i do try my best to keep up with updates and picture posts. But since i put my last post up i haven't had any posts. ? Is there something I'm doing wrong? Feel free to check out my Log and let me know Thanks, EaglesWings

I will give examples in your Log... (actually been meaning to say something since Sunday or Monday... Sorry... I've been a bit off...) Edited by dean, 25 Aug 2009, 04:50 PM.

Everyone is busy at times, i dont expect everyone to post after every update. I would just like someone too. Thanks Again, especially for the advice EaglesWings

There are times when lots of people will reply and sometimes no one will. Just keep posting your work and people will start to reply to you. You can always ask advice and things like that in your log and people should reply more. Just because people aren't replying doesn't mean they aren't looking, I'm terrible sometimes for looking at logs and not posting! Keep at it tho.

Force the reader to actively engage with your plog, rather than looking at the nice pictures and skimming through the words. Also, as has been pointed out, don't lose heart. And try to do new and exciting things, rather than just letting your plog stagnate into some sort of routine. Dave out.

Its not really a foolproof solution; indeed, nothing is on this digital wilderness of ours. Still, could be worth a try. Oh, and put a link to your plog in you sig. Never fails. Dave out.

You asked over the weekend in my plog how I do the bone and I answered you then went and had a look at your plog again and that's when I meant to have a word with you about your Plog.... But I've been sick this week... Above all do not get discouraged. Take pride in your own work and use the Plog as a yardstick of "This is where I started, Look how far I've come"....
