Now that the readership of this blog has built up to a decent level (40 feed subscribers, 300-1200 unique visitors/day) I’d like to get a better handle on what people are interested in reading. When I started this blog, my focus was pretty diffuse – but all focused on Classical Chinese medicine. I figured the niche was small enough that I could be a “catch-all” for information related to that topic. But something about that bothers me, although it does seem to be working out okay.
I’d like to know what you want to read. I’ll provide some content suggestions below and if you could email me or (preferred) leave your suggestions in the comments – I will incorporate them!
- Reviews of study oriented materials (books, software, etc)
- Discussions about schools, changing regulations, student organizations
- Information about licensing, changing laws, FDA stuff, scope of practice
- Reviews of products (herbal and otherwise) — I’d love specific suggestions of classes of products
- Theoretical discussions, basic and advanced
- Discussions about the profession, professional development, and strategies for moving Chinese medicine forward as a medical option
- General discussions about healthcare, the healthcare crisis and Chinese medicine’s part in that framework
- Discussions about specific conditions, bringing together research reports, anecdotal evidence and theoretical discussions
- Features like Herb-of-the-week, Point-of-the-week and other articles focused specifically on those building blocks of CM
- Food Talk, Discussion of Chinese dietary therapy, specific recipes and the relationship of different diets to Chinese medicine (especially veganism, since I am vegan!)
I’m happy to hear other suggestions as well.
Eric
