It may take weeks or even months to get it done, but hopefully we will all learns something along the way.
Just to sum up do I see the traditional relation between writer, text and reader as the first dimension. Thinking circularly about this relationship makes it two dimensional as it allows the flow in both directions and connects the reader and writer beyond the text. The third dimension is when you turn the circle into a sphere by considering all the relations between writers and writers, texts and texts and readers and readers. The fourth dimension is time, which unfortunately is a dominant a force when it comes to blogging as in life in general.
You are surely familiar with the question about what came first, the hen or the egg? Although I do know the answer (which is quite simple once you break of the circularity of the question) I am not going to flaunt it as this is not about knowing the answer, but about understanding the question. Sometimes it seems impossible to know what came first. Sometimes you shouldn’t be able to tell.
Splitting things up like I do thus makes little logical sense. Still does it provide a platform for examining the elements isolated. You can not have text without a writer, just as you cannot have a writer without a text. You cannot have readers without texts, while admittedly you can have texts without readers. The elements are nonetheless closely connected and not really logically separable. Still is it worth looking at each of them isolated as that brings new perspectives into the light and makes it possible to think differently about them.
You do perhaps ask yourself what all this talk about circularity is good for and where it comes from. I always loved circles more than straight lines, I believe that most things are circular in some way and I think that reflecting and communicating accordingly is often more rewarding. Think about how we communicate to get a response, how we receive when we give and how we often return to the same places or ideas when we find ourselves lost. Admittedly, does thinking this way seem to make everything more complicated, but sometimes it is really worth it.
As I get the articles written will I link them to this post and add links to them here so that this post ends up being the hub around which they are hovering. Your comments and input are as always not only welcome, but deeply appreciated.

I don’t know if you’re familiar with a neat WordPress plugin called In Series. When you create a series post, you indicate the series it is part of, and the plugin automatically creates a table of contents for each post in the series, showing the entire series. The TOC is updated with each new addition to the series so you don’t have to manually update anything.
I knew that a plugin existed, but not what it was called. Since I don’t plan to write more series am I not sure it helps much, but now where I know what to search for I will check it out. Thanks!
These are interesting posts, I have a few blogs and to be honest never really gave the process (of blogging) a great deal of thought. Some interesting analysis going on here. I like the sound of the AM plugin BTW, I had never heard of that.
As for me, I write for both the readers and also for myself. If I find something useful to my readers , I will write post about and let them know. If I am also interested in certain topics, I will also write them but in general, I will placed those general topics in the general catagory.

Hadn’t heard of In Series before. I’ll definitely check it out.
I agree with the assessment that you cannot have text without the writer, but where does quality of text come into play? Or is it quality of writer? Or is it the quality of the communication as a whole? Surely not every writer is considered equal…

i agree with you.
Congratulations
You should also keep posting on regular basis as well. If you are unaable to do so than there is very bright chances that you will loose your readers in coming days.
No text without the writer - I Agree
Totally agree. What i can conclude from this is that if you blog regularly enjoying the process for a length of time, circle itself will take care of your blog & you will earn both money & fame without adopting to any manipulating measures. But in this whole process there is one flaw, time factor, which often is the killswitch.
Now I have also started to believe in circles instead of lines and I want to expand my circle at large. So that this one can cover every one …
Sir, Yes i agreed what you have post - Thinking circularly about this relationship makes it two dimensional as it allows the flow….
Wow you have described this in a perfect way and I would love to apply this one for my business and my trade as well.
Lets see whether I will be able to get some good outcome from this or not.
Do you really think that this kind of practice will be handy even in this cut throat competition. I have seen many people says about this one but at last these all came in the category of crap.
@ Russian Girls
Nice and honest policy always go for long and I think if you will be able to adopt these than certainly you will go for a long way.
You just have to deliver your work nicely and honestly. Although this path will take time but at last will give more return.
I’m thinking that blogging is more like a 4 dimensional web, hang on….
@ Werbemittel
Yes I am quite agree with you. But now who have such patience. Everybody would love to earn the money as fast as they can.
Even if the way is right or wrong they do not care. They just want money and luxury.
I am wanting to blog over the internet but still with some privacy. For instance, i can place MySpace private. I am looking for a website of blogging. I only know Xanga, but i do not know how well it works.

Real business man do know the value of this and they apply such kind of practices. Because believe me even in hard time this policy will always pay to you.
Your competitor will not be able to get the business but if you will follow this one than certainly you will be able to gain a lot.
There are so many ways of earning money through the web, and many ways of increasing the traffic on your blog. The biggest player is probably google, and as the algorithm used for its search engine is unknown, everything is trial and error.
Thanks for the article. I really like your point. Waiting for new posts. Keep it up.

I am pretty sure that blogging has more than 4 dimensions. Orther ones haven’t been discorvered yet.
All the three dimensions are understood but I am not able to understand what is the importance of time (4th dimension) in blogospere?
You have a really logical post above.
