on the OTher hand

It is not common for occupational therapy blogs to post on a daily basis, but some post more often than others, I found an interesting comment on Pageflakes this morning, on Occupational Therapy-Educational Issues, http://oteducation.wordpress.com/2008/03/11/a-very-quick-posting-on-visitors-to-my-occupational-therapy-blog/ I found it interesting that she commented on how her last check of blog stats she had over 6,000 visitors to her post.  This is really exciting for me.  I want to find out where to check my visitors, maybe a year from now I will be the one with 6,000 visitors, we’ll just have to wait and see!!  As a career in OT, blogging will open many door to ultimately reach my final goal—opening my privately owned clinic.  As technology advances I can see parents and potential customers visiting my blog before considering me as their therapist.  People may vary well comment on my post several times before even considering me to see how I respond to their comments.  From their response to my posts and comments they may decide whether they are interested in hiring me or not.  This would be similar to an indicator of matching personalities; if the person likes the way I blog they may check out my clinic, if not they may choose to go elsewhere.  Possibly being the only blogger in California, or one of very few, some local clients may choose me as their therapist simply because I hold an active blog.  As a student, I feel that this blog is the first building step to my future as the occupational therapist I will become.
