I have a testimonial to share.

"Just went through your blogs. They are great!"

That's a very nice commentary on the blogs I've been writing the last two months. Never mind that this thoughtful vote of confidence came from my daughter.

And never mind that I had asked my daughter to read my blogs. Several times. No word yet from the other six people I've requested "feedback" from.

I can only conclude:

1 — No one is reading them.

2 — People love them but are too shy to say so.

3 — They're so bad that even those jerks who anonymously spew venom on our blog comment section are at a loss for words.

I'll choose 1.

If people have been reading the blogs, I'm sure someone would find the typos I missed the first 37 times I read them. It's especially sad my blogs have apparently put to sleep the multitudes of comma chasers who pick apart our paper every week.

Apparently, no one reads them in-house either or those typos would have been found (really, our people are pretty darn good at what they do). The sad part is that my title is general manager. I pay these people to work here. Once when my son didn't laugh at one of my jokes, and I countered by saying that I had them guffawing at work, he said "well, you pay them." Apparently I pay them enough to laugh at my jokes, but not enough to read my blogs. I don't want to risk mass resignations by forcing the issue.

Before you ask, I'll answer an obvious question: No, I do not receive additional compensation for writing these blogs. That would be disgusting, an abuse of power, and self-aggrandizing — and as you can tell, I'm a humble man.

Yes, I know. Self-pity is unbecoming. So is writing an entire column beseeching people to feed my ego, find my typos, read my darn blogs.

If this doesn't work, I don't know what to do. Maybe I'll have to hire people just to read them. Or put more daughters on the payroll.

Editor's note: John's blogs can be found on the blog section of lakegenevanews.net. If you have trouble navigating the site and need help finding them, we have a help desk — just call our office and ask for John.

    I find your blogs a refreshing change of pace from the ulta right wing rants of your editor if that makes you feel any better.

    There weren't any blogs to read when this site first up, so stopped looking for them. Now that you've drawn attention to them, I will be happy to read them, enjoy your take on events and maybe even reply. Keep going! The ones I read so far are enjoyable, like a good conversation (possibly another lost art in this digital age).
