The last two months have seen a huge increase in readership of the LDS Media Talk blog: four times the average number of pages read and nearly 7 times the number of visitors to the site! A lot of this activity was due to the launch of the Mormon Messages channel on YouTube (especially blog about the temple videos) and the launch of the new Church Radio Station. (See more statistics at the end of this post.)

What this tells us is that if we post information that people want to read, more people will read it. Please help us make this blog more valuable to you by taking a short survey to tell us what you find most interesting, what you’d like to see more or less of, and what else you’d like to see.

Check back in about a week and I’ll publish the resuts.
