My 2 Cents About Blogs

Published on April 26, 2004 By JillUser In Blogging

I have seen a lot of advice given lately regarding what to/not to blog about, when to blog about it, blacklisting, etc. The way I see it, it is your web log. Write about whatever you want whenever you want. If you are going to be knowingly offensive, restrict your audience. The only "don't" is don't put another blogger's name in your title unless it is complimentary.

You might want to take advice from others if you are worried about points, but otherwise, do your own thing. Your blog is your house here on JU. You have to abide by the neighborhood bylaws but other than that, it's your call.

Now, commenting is another story. Since you are then the guest at someone else's house, you need to mind your manners. I tend to stay away from blogs of people I know set me off. It is kind of like blacklisting myself

I try to stick to the subject at hand but have been known to get caught up in defending people that I am in agreement with or people I think are being wrongly attacked. I try to be careful about it and know that the blogger has every right to delete anything I say that isn't on subject or simply rubs them the wrong way.

Well, that's my 2 cents at least. Blog on!

The things I miss now that I am not blogging 24-7. Jill, it's a great article, and actually interesting the way that the comments drew out. I enjoy trying to understand why points and articles listed are so important to some people and not at all to others. I do know how to get featured now, but I like the simple day to day stuff of other bloggers better. It's what keeps me coming back for more.
Peace.

Would it have made anymore sense to quote something in Red and not add any actual comment? I think not.

Okay, didn't see the red comment. I saw the quote and nothing else. Thanks for fixing that Karma.

Muggaz, I thought your article about your passion for JU was a step in the right direction writing wise.

Yeah, the red comment was white. White on white (or light grey) is a bit hard to read
