It's a double!

I had been waiting to read Major Spoilers' review of Amazing Spider-Man #656 until I had a chance to read the issue first, so this post goes back a few days. The very first sentence in this article is a bit incomplete: The Walking Massacre’s story isn’t a new one – way back in the Phineas Gage had a railroad spike blow through his head. It's pretty clear that we're missing the object of that preposition, probably something like "back in the day..." Soon after that, Mr. Schleicher misses an important possessive: Mayor J. Jonah Jameson, who recently lost his wife during Alistair Smythe recent rampage, is taking it upon himself to be the judge and jury in all matters concerning those who take a life. Friends of the series know that it was Alistair Smythe who killed Mrs. Jameson, making it "Alistair Smythe's recent rampage." Source: http://www.majorspoilers.com/review-the-amazing-spider-man-656

Where do I go from here?

Since I started this blog, I had hoped that I would be able to somehow use it to generate revenue, either through pay-per-click ads, or by gaining enough interest and prestige to become a full-time editor. Neither of those have worked out for me so far. I understand, of course, that I need to work on producing content more regularly to reach either of those goals.

My question now, is: What content do you want to see here? I noticed while reviewing my blog traffic that a majority of my hits are coming from outside the U.S., places like Brazil, Switzerland, even Nepal. This got me to wondering about how and why these visitors are reading my site. Could it be that they're foreign-language speakers actually looking for tips on the intricacies and minutiae of English grammar?

So, once again, I'll open it up to you, my readers. What would you like to see more of? Less of? How did you find my blog? And how do you like what you've seen so far?
