Indeed it is a bit disappointing when the effort you put into your blogs and articles goes unnoticed. But that does not mean that the effort you put into your blogs and articles was wasted or something negative like that. The readers (like me) who read and appreciate what you write are always excited to see what you will share with the world next time.
If it was up to me, I'd make sure that bloggers like you who put so much effort into their articles were rewarded fairly but alas, it is not in my power. What is in my power is that I can encourage you and let you know that what you write is very, very fascinating and interesting. What I can do is that I can let you know that the effort you put in anything will never go wasted even if you feel that it didn't get its fair share of attention. I can see that it can be difficult at times. However, I hope that you will keep on blogging as you've said.
And please! If you do decide to switch to somewhere else, please don't forget to tell me!!
