I am now in my tenth month writing this little blog about intergenerational gay relationships. I’ve written more than thirty posts, received almost forty comments, and have received more than 16,000 unique visits to the site. As a WordPress blogger I have some fundamental resources to see what interests my readers and who you are. I see what posts get the most visits, what search results bring readers here, and what other sites link to mine.
However, I still feel like my visitors are a bit of a mystery to me. I have posted a few polls in the past, most ask questions about gay issues. But, I’m going to start throwing into that mix questions about you, my readers. I encourage you to respond to posts with your questions, thoughts, and responses. But if you’re uncomfortable with that I hope you’ll at least consider responding to these anonymous polls as they come along. Ultimately, I hope this feedback will help me become a better blogger, better able to respond to issues that interest you. Our first getting to know you poll follows.

I found this blog a number of months ago, and I’ve always been happy to see so many different aspects of relationships discussed through a first-person aspect. I believe first-hand accounts really bring emotion and reality to the scene. Thanks for giving a lot of people some hope when they may have none. I know a few of your posts have connected with me on a very personal level, and I’m sure they’ve done the same with countless others. Thanks again for all you’ve done.
