In an earlier draft, I used the example of Gleeson Gleanings, the blog updated by the University of San Francisco's academic library. It's not looking for a wide user base -- it's tailored specifically to inform the students and faculty of USF of the latest news at Gleeson Library. For Gleeson Gleanings, success is defined by having an informed patron-base, nothing more. That’s exactly it.

I looked at Dash's post, Babauta's post, and others, and wrote my post relying on their recommendations. I didn't appreciate how much their definitions of success (LOTS of traffic for the purpose of making money) might not apply to some blogs (like your baby blog -- cute children, by the way!). It was only when I got to the end, and starting thinking about the purpose of some library blogs, that I realized this point (and then went back and added that qualification to the first paragraph).
