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. | ||

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 | ||

Your antidepressants blog, for example, is exactly http://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/mentalhealthinfoforall/problems/depression/antidepressants.aspx | ||

Music blogs are also in incredibly great for getting free music and suggestions not available anywhere else. Hey maybe you could PM me some of those science blogs? I would love to take a look at them sometime as science really does interest me :D. Do you ever write your own blogs or do you just read them? Also do you ever bother posting on the blogs? | ||

It aggregates content from a mountain of sites, and you can customise it to show more science related stuff if you like. It also has a ranking setup for the top ten most viewed, etc. It used to be the first thing I read when i got to work in the morning  | ||

Yeh, most likely just someone who made money-making blogs, then tried to make this thread a discussion just to promote his blogs.. Really sneaky spam. | ||

I dislike starcraft blogs without pictures and short blogs with no content. I love girl blogs. No one ever reads my informative blogs T_T. I have more than I've shown. | ||

No one ever reads my informative blogs T_T. I have more than I've shown. I suppose pictures in blogs really do make a huge difference, so it is not just a huge wall of text. What about the posts on blogs, do you ever read those or do you just read the blog itself? @the haters - I put it in general discussion because we are having a general discussion about blogs, itself it not actually a blog but merely a dicussion about them. The same principle applies if we were talking about murderers in general and it has a new article in the OP, you would not expect it to be moved to the news section. Also I do not ask you to click on any of my blogs, it was merely an example of different blogs I created. If no one clicks them that is fine, I just wanted a discussion and that is what I have got, if it makes you feel better, I'll remove my links. | ||

It's spam disguising itself as a discussion about blogs. | ||

TL is the most convenient blog delivery mechanism for me, and there is a truly dynamic spattering of humanity on this site. The IAMAs on Reddit are also a fantastic way to see how others live (usually on the more dramatic end). | ||

I actually do not know the criteria for which blogs i read, but i read yours.... | ||

I do not know why I spend my time addressing haters like you because I guess I have to. If this is spam, then please tell me in what way, it is spam. At most you could call it advertising but then anyone who post blogs, would be an advertiser. Again, do you want me to take my blogs from my first post, so people like you can be quiet and actually talk about the dicussion at hands...you know, about blogs? infact, everyone whos posting hater comments are spamming this discussion thread with senseless posts. | ||
