Course Correction

So...we're coming up on three months now since the TipsterHog Blog started. And wow...HogBlogger and I have been amazed at how well it's been received. Over 4,000 visits! We want to thank each and every one of you for spending some of your valuable time here. We hope and think we've been providing something unique and useful to the Razorback fan nation.

So why change anything now? Well, since we started, this site has primarily been a "link blog": a way to find links to articles on the web about the Hogs. But if there's one thing we've noticed, it's that most of our visitors have shown more interest in the opinion posts we make and less on all the links. And so for that reason (and a few others), we want to focus more on creating original content.

So what does that mean? Well, that means fewer "reports" article link posts in between games and more emphasis on providing something unique. Now, that doesn't mean we won't highlight what we think are some of the more interesting Razorback articles on the web. We'll hopefully continue to do that every day. And we'll also continue our pre-game and post-game link pages which have proven to be popular with many of you as well.

We hope you'll agree with us that this "course correction" makes the TipsterHog Blog more interesting and useful. But if you're disappointed with the changes, we at least want to recommend an alternative. So if you still want to see as many links to Hogs-related articles as possible, we encourage you to visit The Slop, a great site that's been doing that kind of thing really well for a long time.

We'd love to get your feedback on this change and on others you'd like to see us make in the future. Please leave us a comment or send e-mail to TipsterHog or HogBlogger.
