Being Unique

You know, one of the secrets of creating a name for yourself in this silly sport of blogging is to bring something to the table no one else does. It helps to have a wide-ranging set of things that interest you, but in order to set yourself apart, you really have to make yourself into a topical expert, preferably on arcane matters. That way, when someone ponders the imponderable, they will remember that YOU are the expert, and will flock to your blog in numbers uncountable on merely one hand.

I have found that thing that makes Possumblog unique--the thing that attracts readers from across the globe, yearning for the knowledge to be found here:

[...] He's the only person I know who counts and categorizes roadkill during long car trips. And blogs about it.

I think I can safely say that I feel the same joy that Navin Johnson felt when he wrote home to his parents that he had found out what his special purpose was for!

Thank you, Miss Meryl, for giving word and form to what makes Possumblog the Greatest Blog in the Entire Universe*!
