Blogs - Reading and Writing

Kargath · 03-08-2008, 05:49 AM

Just wondering - how many of you read blogs on a regular basis? And how many of you have taken it to the next level and actually written your own?

I personally don't really read blogs of a personal nature, but I do subscribe to many official-blog-style RSS feeds via My Yahoo!

(The exceptions to this of course would be if you counted deviantART journals, in which case I keep one and read several that are delivered to me.)

I do the Google Reader to keep track of RSS feeds. I track a few of my friend's blogs (which rarely update), some other blogs (Ironic Sans, Mind Hacks, Kotaku, Lifehacker, etc.), and some community blogs (Metafilter, Boing Boing, etc). By "keep track", I usually mean "scan headlines, read interesting ones, and dump the rest".

As for my own blog, I started posting regularly again, after a year or so hiatus. I've taken again to record the ridiculousness levels of the day and am planning on charting to find trends. For example, weekends seem to be less ridiculous on average than weekdays.

I've got my own mini-review blog that I should start updating.

I don't blog. I used to read one or two from time to time (most notably Man vs. Clown), but it's been a while.

My normal one is more of a literary outlet than the traditional "journal" or "news" format.
One of my in-character blogs is mostly used for ranting responses to things that tick me off, and the other in-character one actually is more in the "journal" vein.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I normally use my DeviantART blog for reviews, I also have my Jace's Mario Collecter blog I made.
