Over the last 10 months I posted hundreds threads on my blog in the hope to document our building journey and help others who face the challenging and sometime frighting world of building a house. It’s a nerve racking time when you handover a large portion of your hard earned life savings to a builder, millions of emotions and thoughts cross you mind and all you really want is your dream house built exactly how you have imagined it. This blog has attracted over 40,000 hits in a sort time but only a mere 39 people following my journey which make me think that there are only 39 people who are interested. I’m thinking of limiting access to followers only... what are your thoughts before I do this? I have so much contents and info to share. Kind regards T Sorry, but I think this comes off as being a whole lot more narcissistic than you really intended it to be. Does it really matter if the people reading your blog are signed-up followers or merely "window shoppers" who browse a wide variety of blogs for ideas and information without actually following all of them. It's your blog and it's up to you in the end to decide the level of accessibility you want to provide on it, but as was mentioned above if you regularly visit 20-30 blogs as I do (yes I'm a card-carrying house building blog lurker I admit it) then being notified of updates for all of them becomes tedious after a while. I do follow your blog on the sly, but if you restricted access to followers then I would not become one for the reasons mentioned above (which would be a shame because yours is one of the more entertaining and well thought out building blogs out there). Some people apparently have nothing better to do than comment on other people's sigs. Re: Porter Davis homes 4658Feb 24, 2012 1:51 pm Alpal Team PD Hi Alpal, It is a challenging time at the moment, but I want to reassure you that our commitment and presence in the new home market is ever growing with the recent opening of 20 beautiful display homes in the South East corridor and four in the Northern corridor, plus we will soon be opening another new exciting display centre in the Western corridor next month. We also extended our build zone to include inner city suburbs, plus Ballarat and surrounds, in October last year. So there's plenty happening at Porter Davis! If you have any questions at all about your build, your dedicated team are available via telephone, email or the 24seven portal, or you can shoot me any questions. Cheers, Ebony Thanks Ebony, Appreciate the response and update. One question - If PD are "growing" as you indicate why would the Northern PD office close? Forgive me - I'm a "half glass empty" type of guy Hi Alpal, No worries, I am here to help answer these types questions as we want our clients to be kept up date on what’s happening with PD and not feel like we are keeping you in dark. PD is continuing with the same construction activity and display home presence in Melbourne’s North. All we have done is relocate the office and management functions into the West and East offices for our Northern jobs, which is the office structure we had before the North office was introduced. With one office relocating, we’ve opened the doors to exciting opportunities in Ballarat and the inner city! I hope this helps! Cheers, Ebony Porter Davis Homes Questions?

I don’t intent to be narcissistic in anyway and I see your point, but to be honest I have no idea if it’s helping anyone. I get some occasional feedback and I constantly wonder if I should continue posting. If the blog helps you then become a member so I know, if no one cares then I’ll keep it private. I’m just trying to gauge what to do. Re: Porter Davis homes 4660Feb 24, 2012 2:48 pm Hey T - I think you should keep the blog posts coming for all to see. We love reading them (and yes we are members), but many people who get the same value out of your blog may not have signed up for many and varied reasons. I'm sure there are many, many examples of people who keep up with your building tale without being signed up. 40,000 hits can't be achieved unless people know about it and love it! Last but certianly not least, you can look back on your thoughts and emotions many years from now with a smile!
