Hi, @haphazard-hstead, nice to meet you. This is an excellent question!
Unfortunately, the only way to get separate statistics would be to generate individual http://goo.gl links for each of the articles, which has been more trouble than I've cared to take. :( However, informally speaking, I know that having the T.O.C. has enabled people to sample my other writing. In the future, more software tools and interfaces may become available to make this information more accessible.
I agree that - sadly - there is little "ex post facto" voting on the platform at this time. Nevertheless, I personally view my writing as a whole to be a "body of work" that I hope will be durable and that will have ongoing value to the community. The nature and promise of blockchain permanence offers hope of a lasting legacy.
And so, I consider it worth the extra effort to make all of my blog more accessible, monetized or not. In purely "monetary" terms, I suspect there is some value because some people may make a "follow/unfollow" decision based on the overall quality of my work.
I'll leave you with this final observation:
When, in the hoped-for future, Steemit has tens of millions of users, a large number of them may be and see themselves as no more than "readers," here to read and encourage content, and not at all concerned about the $$$ aspect unless incidentally. My ultimate, overriding purpose and hope for being here is that there may be a growing body of people who find personal value in what I write.
I go back and forth about the value of past posts, in the long run. Mainly because those past posts can't be edited. So if any links change, if image hosting problems come up, or if information changes, I have no way of updating my posts. An independent website will let me keep my posts up to date. But I can see the value of a Table of Contents, for sure. I probably will put one together. It will help me keep track of my own content, if nothing else, lol. Happy New Year! And here's to lots of great posts for your own Table of Contents in 2017!
Yep, those are all problems with past posts... I guess when it comes to curating my own past posts in that regard, I'll simply re-post any really significant ones with updated links.
I appreciate that you took the time to visit, read, and comment on what I'm doing here! Nice to meet you; I poked around your blog a bit; made me hungry, so I'm following you now... ;)
Yes, it will be interesting to see how Steemit takes to reposting past content. I've seen it do OK here. And certainly, a year from now, folks won't remember much about any specific posts. But the cheetahbot may notice, lol. Thanks for checking out my blog, too. I hope you enjoy my future posts. Maybe you will see a table of contents soon! : )
