just tell me! 08.08.
11:21 am Uncategorizedso I have been watching tv a lot lately and those reality shows are always on. Where they have to elminate a person every week until they have a winner or something. and it just bothers me how they take 50 years to tell us who goes home. For example, on americas next top model each girl has to go up one by one and get a picture to the next round and then theres two people left. and as if it hasn’t already taken 5 hours, the last 2 people take another hour and the long pauses and then just when you they are about to say something they go to commercial. I’m just like WTF did you really need to spend THAT long just to tell us who goes home. I dont care about the “suspense” just be like “alright and bob you are leaving today, sorry!” end of show. that would be perfectly fine for me lol.
so according to wordpress stats, the most visited page on here is the visitor page! and how convenient that I don’t have anything there! LOL what do you guys look for when you go to a visitor page on a site? What things do you want? I know there are a lot of normal people who aren’t into webdesign reading blogs so i’m sure they wouldn’t find resources such as brushes, textures, and all that useful. so if you are visiting, what things do you use from other sites?
and i’m very new to blogging, and i’m kind of confused. I’ve seen some blogs where people just blog about their personal events such as a journal. I thought this is what you were supposed to do. but then i’ve seen a lot of blogs that blog about controversial topics and not personal events. It seems as though those blogs get more comments and such rather than the ones that are more personal. For example if someone blogs about how their day went and rants, not many will even read or comment. If someone blogs about something else like “smoking just sucks, I dont understand why people smoke blah blah blah” they will get more reads and comments. These kind of blogs are more like newspaper or magazine articles were people voice their opinions about topics, and I didn’t know that was what blogging was. Anywho my main concern was not the amount of comments i’m recieving but just what exactly are bloggers supposed to write about. Personally, I could care less who comments, this is like my online journal. I write whatever I feel like, and if I get comments, cool! someone is reading and has something to say. If i don’t have comments i’m not going to freak out because like I said this is just for me to rant and get things off my chest.
lmao. I started blogging close to a year and a half ago. Pretty much all I do is blog about my life, which consists of slow updates due to the fact my life is boring. Sometimes I may blog about something else which indeed gets more comments. Joining despair is a step to getting more comments though and seeing other blogs. I am attempting right now to get back into the habit of commenting back to those who comment me. I find it nice that people comment me back.
I think people should blog about whatever they can write best. If you think you’re more clever and interesting when you write about your personal life, than do that. If you find you have a knack for essays, write rants and opinion pieces. If you have expertise on a certain topic, you could even do a themed blog, for instance vegetarianism or music or shopping. Honestly, as long as you can spice things up and write interesting posts, you will get readers. You could write about blow drying your hair and if you do it in a funny or sarcastic way, people will comment.
Personally, I like the benefits of blogging about my day-to-day life. I make friends online who have followed my blog for a few years and it’s easier to be seen as a “real” person than if you just wrote about some new technology coming out or what you think about Obama. It helps you connect with your readers, because it’s not so confrontational and in-your-face.
You could always switch it up once in a while. That’s what most people do: a little of everything. Another thing to keep in mind is that you want to enjoy writing your posts. If you choose to write a certain way simply because you are under the impression it will grab a wider audience, then it will all become a chore and you won’t want to bother writing at all. Plus, readers can sense when the blog owner is just going through the motions to keep traffic alive.
Have fun & hope I helped a little
