There was a lot of commotion around Jimmy Fallon‘s first late night show.  Who were the guests?  How were his interviewing chops?  Does this show have a chance?

I think that’s how people look at their websites/blogs.  They get so caught up in that “first post” that it never happens.  Jimmy Fallon’s show will succeed or fail not because of his first show or first week, but because of the next 200 or 300 shows in the weeks (years) to come.

Your blog will succeed because you work on it everyday, not because you had a spectacular first post.
