Default Blog Writing/Reading
I've never gotten into the Blog concept. I can't imagine spending an inordant amount of time reading someone else's 'diary of thoughts'. Does anyone else read or write them?

A Few Blogging Facts

Blog readership has shot up by 58% in 2004
Eight million have created a blog
27% of online Americans have read a blog
5% use RSS aggregators to get news and other information
12% of online Americans have posted comments on blogs
Only 38% of online Americans have heard about blogs

I have a blog crush. LOL I found it/him when looking up info on wrathful Buddhas. It's my guilty pleasure. LOL http://www.ringworm.blogdrive.com Check him out- I love his attitude and intelligence.


Other than that- the only blog I've ever read is the cigar toking fiend that Heather shared w/me.

I dunno- isn't it sorta like posting your Diary on the web? I think some things should be private.

I have a couple of blogs that I visit that are written by Marines or other military. Some of them give great insight into what they go through and how they see things.

Good point. I guess I've just stumbled across mostly preteen blogs or something. I've honestly never looked for any that may interest me.

You are right Cindy....there was one military blog in particular from a soldier which I followed for a long time. I think I posted the link on here once...not sure.

They are like live diaries about a person's life events, view points, etc. They are only a tad more less boring than the live web cams people set up in their fridge or over their pet bowls.

My name is Sigmond. Sitting in my comfy lawn chair in the morning breeze I spied a speckeld breasted warbler which chirped so lovely - as to say 'Hello Sigmond...Hello'. I was so touched as the......

Many are like that. It reminds me of some people, none on this forum, who write long personal analagies of their personal philosophies and are so utterly boring. I've seen you respond to some of those types of posts......LOL!

Some are very good and entertaining.

I guess I haven't seen that many of them (if any) to actually notice any of that.

Did anyone actually check my blog crush? He really is impressive. It'll give you an interesting example Duke.
