Things You Missed – 15th to 21st August 2022
This series has missed a few weeks and the honest fact is that the readership for this series seems pretty low. Eyeballs are, unfortunately, an important metric for a website, and the low viewership has also led me to question the usefulness of these posts. I am thinking of ways to make this series more helpful, and while I have a couple of ideas, it might be interesting if you could chip in as well.
In any case, I have been wondering if this series should be an ongoing thing in this blog, and your input would be much appreciated.
