Being new to the Blog world, it seems to me that Blogs resemble diaries, personal notes to one selves. Based on many comments read here today, blogs have soared into cyberspace as advertisements, clipboards, and a mean of personal attack.
I see how blogs, at least some are used as an advertisement tactic. Writing a human interest story to compel readers to take a liking to you, and then pages or entries later, the blogger discovers a way to heal or correct a problem with this fantastic product.
I prefer the more straightforward means to selling, even through a blog.
Listening, ha. Reading the comments on a few blogs, today made me want to leave the blogging world alone. For me a blog is only a means to vent, but it I don't laugh or critice those individuals who take the blog so serious, or very serious.
In many instances the blog has become an instrument of creativity, illustrations of colors, styles, fonts, images, and some of the writing is truly on a professional level, and deserve publishing, but others just vent.
The suggestion about Confidence in creating a blog made public sense, to a certain extent. I liked his ideas or suggestion for creating an Assertive blog. Aside from Commercial blogs, Educational blogs, and Perhaps News blogs, for me blogs are daily interest items, a means of communicating feelings, angers, anxieties, and likes and dislikes.
Confidence in a ill-directed blog, or a unspecific blog is senseless. These types of blogs are typical of a daily mood, or event, or happening. Unless, the blog is well defined, subjective, educationally subjective, business, economics, technology give the blogger a break. When potential bloggers see an outline for creative expression they may never say it, but it frightens the blogger. I thought I could learn a few how to's perhaps meet someone people with similar interests. I didn't know I had to play follow the leader. Well, no friends for me, but that's kool. Relax, unless, it cost $299.99 a blog, or it brings life, its not the kind of blog that could ever attract my attention. Stop fighting and bickering. You all right well, you all know html, you all can transfer your blogs from here to eternity.
