Yours truly is gearing up to launch a blog. I'm currently working iwth a search engine optimization company that has highly recommended that I do this.

Sooooo, my question is to you, what are some of your favorite blogs and why? It obviously has to do with content you're interested in, but what about design, or anything else to do with the blog?

Thanks for you help. I appreciate it!

Dotsie, do you know what service you will be using? Such as Wordpress? Michelle (actually Dan) set up my blog using Wordpress, then I took over. It is easy for me to navigate. There are many themes to choose from. What else exactly are you asking? About the service, platform, or ease of use? Or what we like to visit? Have you seen any designs you like?

But, did'nt you use to blog before, Dotsie?

I visit www.asksistermarymartha.blogspot.com because she reminds me of a nun in my school. But mostly, because she makes me laugh.

I do my own, no help needed from anyone and the feedback I have received is people who read it like the content, the stuff I talk about. I keep the content of my blog different everyday and interesting enough to grab the readers of it so they feel involved.

I will visit a blog if the content changes often. It's no fun visiting and seeing the same thing over and over. Then, for me, it's simply a website.

Although I don't do it, pictures are wonderful and help you know the person in a different way than writing.

Know your purpose.

Just a few of my opinion notes. smile

I rarely visit any anyone's blog. And when I do, it's work-related. Usually a colleague who writes and speaks on particular subjects.

I've toyed with an idea of a blog. But seriously to me, it requires expressing oneself well and also sharing new discoveries in life and from the Internet. I will occasionally browse someone's personal cycling blog. The most useful one's are creative and full of links to useful resources. Creative and dynamically changing content is key.

Besides, blog technology is just now an easier way to update and change content by several people (who have access) for an organization.

I will occasionally browse someone's personal cycling blog. The most useful one's are creative and full of links to useful resources. Focused, creative and dynamically changing content, is key.

I rarely visit blogs either. I seem to stumble across some relevant ones through google searches, and value the content they have. But I have never read a blog on a continuing basis.

I think it's because I have to choose where to spend my computer time, since I have so much to do. And I prefer the give/take of the forums over just reading someone's blog.

That being said, if done well, they can be an excellent asset for links to your site, and if done right, can also bring in money from things like Google AdSense.

I rarely visit blogs. I read Chatty's and Saundra's. That's all.
And I go to those because of the link here. I think blogs are fine but there are only so many hours in the day.

Hummmm, why are they called blogs? What does that mean in the writing game anyway. I always thought a 'blog' was a dangerous muddy place in the English countryside.
