My feeling is that even if only one person reads it and finds it helpful and interesting, it is a success. Based on the quality of what I've read so far, I think you'll do quite a bit better than that :-) “Will The Free Agents be a roaring success?”

It's amazing what you can do when you don't know you can't. I only made it up the highest active volcano in the world because I didn't realize how stupid it was at the time (http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog-entries/rickwastaken/south-2006/1154059140/tpod.html). And I only convinced my girlfriend to climb Half Dome because she had no idea how crazy it was to be leaving so late and so unprepared (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30784983&id=700057).
