An Update On the Blog (and a Few Basic Rules)

I'm heading off on a weeklong vacation, so I thought I'd do a quick update on the blog.

I always planned to keep this blog going for a few years, then let it quietly fade away. Part of the idea was to continue the blog while the knee books were selling, as a way to support readers who had questions. At long last, knee book sales are tapering off, so I'll soon transition to a much more occasional blog.

I never thought sales would continue for this long! It's been a pleasant surprise. The message of Saving My Knees isn't probably for everyone, but some people have apparently found it valuable. But now that sales are dropping off, and I find myself increasingly pressed for time to devote to other projects, I will soon transition to spottier posting.

Also, there are few rules here. But these are a couple:

(1) I have a lot of people reach out to me. I don't really want to become anyone's knee counselor. I'm not qualified for one, and two, I barely have enough time (with two young kids and an old house) to take care of everything in my life as it is!

So the best way to ask questions is right here, on the blog. There are several advantages to that: (1) The answers to your questions may help other people who have a similar problem. (2) If I don't know how to answer your questions, I bet someone else here will.

(2) Please don't post spam comments. I just delete them. I don't mind people posting links, in the context of a comment that's related to a post (or an issue someone has), but there are comment spammers that I delete quickly. They post "thin" comments that don't really directly engage with anything on the site.

They often look something like:

Great info! I loved what you said. If you want to take care of your knee pain, try the Magic Sleeve (with a link to the bogus Magic Sleeve).

One last thing: If anyone does have questions related to knee pain, please drop them in the comments. I'm at the point where I'm mostly foraging in there to find things to post, as I get closer to this blog going semi-dark.

(Not fully dark! I want to be able to jump back in here from time to time, especially as studies pop up that validate the message of Saving My Knees!)
