ITauthor blog’s esteemed readership

One thing about writing a blog is that most of the time you have no idea who's reading your posts. As a result, I usually assume no one's reading apart from me, until occasionally someone at work will mention something I wrote about. Of course I don't mind having an assumed readership of one because, by and large, I write this blog is for my own benefit and I do quite often use it to find out technical stuff I would otherwise have spent much longer finding via Google.

However, once in a while I'm reminded that other people might be reading some of this stuff too from time to time. This evening I logged into my WordPress dashboard (not something I often do, because I always post to my blog from Live Writer) and I noticed there was a comment sitting awaiting moderation.

Turns out it was a comment by brian d foy (his preferred style, in case you're wondering), the founder of Perl Mongers, author of Mastering Perl and co-author of Learning Perl and Intermediate Perl. Nice to know that at least one of my posts has had such an esteemed reader.

Oh and by the way, if you're reading this post of the front page of my blog, the way to post a comment is to click the post heading to display it as a single page and then scroll down the the comment form.
