For example, if you're going to be a teacher (at least, here in America), it's probably best to just... not have a blog. lol. Ah so you agree blogs are good given the circumstances are fitting? I suppose that makes sense  . Being accountable for what you write, as you said, is of extreme important.Do you ever read any blogs? | ||

It must be quite hard to keep updating a informative blog, depending of the subjet, there can be new stuff every day (think engadget) and if you aren't up to date, no one will bother reading your blog. | ||

Ah so basically if you're looking around for information, a blog is a place you would actually think inside of your mind as a place to look? I typically use the google search engine to answer questions but then it just takes you to 'yahoo' questions mostly, so it makes perfect sense to check blogs, since it's people, asking the same questions. Thanks for the post! | ||

I have nothing against the concept of blogging, but the average quality of blogs makes me want to vomit. You should have a permit to blog and this should not be provided to 13 year old kids. I'm kidding, but you get the point. [EDIT] : I don't want you to take this against you, because I didn't even check your blogs :p [EDIT2] : I forgot artists's blogs. This are usually very good. | ||

I usually don't read personal blogs, because I often go on websites to do factual research (and blogs tend to be less trustworthy or well-documented than other, more respectable sites). If I'm looking for opinions, I'll talk to my friends. | ||

[EDIT] : I don't want you to take this against you, because I didn't even check your blogs :p Ah ok, well my blogs are purely informative, The only way I would create personal blogs was if I already had a fan base interested in me to begin with, else it would be pointless. Informative blogs can be great to post though :D. Good job you didn't read my blogs, wouldn't be too helpful for you unless you're having trouble with partners, you want to learn about car insurance or you are or know someone who is depressed, lmao . | ||

I presume people get some sort of entertainment value out of the blog, whether it be especially polarizing, insightful, or stimulating. I completely understand where you're coming from but going fishing through millions of blogs, all these different people making personalised accounts about their lives, what they're doing, what has happend to them etc How do you find, the right one that you enjoy? I guess searching through high-rated blogs would be a good start. I'm just really curious about blogging and the capabilities it has. | ||

I just want to try and make this blogging thing work but I do not know a great deal about it. | ||

I keep a blog just so that I can keep in practice, continue to work with language and try to keep improving. Someone once told me that, when it comes to skills, you're always either improving or getting worse. It's stuck with me since I was ten or so, and writing is the one skill I really appreciate. On TL, I blog usually to make people laugh, other than that I sometimes ask for writing advice here. People are helpful and often provide insight I'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else. + Show Spoiler + I guess I should link to my blog, in case anyone is interested: http://52minus4.sirjolt.com | ||
