Anyone here have one or ever done one? I know TZummer does and maybe he can help answer some questions but I just wondered what people Blog about and what it takes to make a successful one.

Also I came across this site: http://www.problogger.net/ and it gives some tips on how to get some return on your investment. I'm considering starting one, not really sure what it takes but once I do and I set it up, I'll link you guys to it.

I've run into several blogs and I think there's really no restriction on what a blog is. I found what loox like a bit of a registered blog directory here: http://www.globeofblogs.com/?x=topic

isn't a blog something like an online journal type of thing?

I have two actually. One that my close friends and most of the people I met at college get to read (Anybody can read it, but I write differently and about different stuff for this audience...I'll make quick comments about my day or spean total nonsense on this one.)

It can be found at http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=TheFatIMaster

My second one is just random stuff. Not meant for anybody in particular. It can be found at
www.nothing-important.com (I love my URL)

I use the xanga blogspot for the top one, the bottom one I use blogspot's option to upload it to my own webspace through ftp.

I'm really not all that worried about readers. On xanga though, I probably have about 50 regulars, and it's my free site...on N-I, I only have abotu 10 regular readers, and it costs me abotu $10 a month to run, but I have plans on adding a comic, or art section, and also a photo gallery. www.nothing-important.com is really just for what it's called...nothing important.

Interesting reading TZ.......FatIMaster.....

I've thought about it from time to time....but I spend most of my puter time on forums and I think everyone is sick enough of reading my silly opinions. LOL!

I have one, just haven't updated in awhile. http://livejournal.com/users/linkinbits/

I think all the stuff I would want to write in a journal....I wouldn't want anyone else to read and it would defeat the purpose.
