One of the inevitable pitfalls of a start-up blog is a lack of readers--readership can take a long time to establish. I think one of the best ways to bring in readers is by amassing information for ease of reading. You'll notice that much of the right column of this site is full of the latest updated items on a multitude of other websites, including First Things, National Review Online, Time, CNN, Christianity Today, and others. Every time these sites update their content, they are automatically updated on this site as well. Those familiar with my site will note that I frequently post on these items.
I understand the difficulties of beginning the conversations on a passive website, especially when evangelism is involved. Yet I also believe that with time, such events can and do become more frequent.
I close with a humble request: if you do enjoy (at all[!]) visiting the site, I would encourage you to contribute to the conversations as well. From comments to contributing posts, feel free to contact me if you desire to add to the program. I never intended for this to be a one-person show--there is always room for contributing writers.
And of course, if you feel so inspired, feel free in promoting Barroco Cervantes to those you know. I believe that the more people who are able to enter the conversation, the more interesting the insights and discussions can become. And of course, that would make your reading time all the more valuable.
