Blog: What are the topics you blog about?  |
|
 I have recently started my own blog. At first, I didn't know what to put there. I first looked at blogs of other people and found out that, there are so many categories to choose from. It will depend on your purpose and interests. Since I am a frustrated poet, most of my posts are poems. Sometimes I share my experiences and make articles which I think are interesting.
What is great about keeping blogs is that you can have as many as you want. I only have one blog at the moment, and it already consumes a lot of my time, spare time, actually. As you will notice when you visit it, it's a work in progress.
Do you also have a blog of your own? What kind is it? What are the topics you post?
If you have time, please visit my blog at:

Cheers and happy myLotting!

1.  masata (372) | 9 months ago |  I have several blogs. One blog is personal diary. I record what I experience there. I keep it private and only share with my familiy. I have another blog that discuss about computing stuffs. However, I have abandoned this blog and long time not updating this blog.

| zorlone (89) | 9 months ago | Hi masata,
that is nice, an online diary. but doesn't people stumble upon it once and a while? maintaining a blog is hard work, i would assume that you have become very busy that's why you abandoned your computing blog.
Thank you for dropping by mylot!
Cheers! | |

3.  veganprince (3416) | 9 months ago |  It is what they call "niche". According to experts, your blog will have a better chance of getting noticed if it talks about a specific topic a group of people want--niche is what they call it. For instance, one of my blogs talks about celebrations or parties. Then I have another one where I express myself freely about my life and the surroundings.

|
| zorlone (89) | 9 months ago | Wow! You have a lot of entries, I have a long way to go to reach your level. My blog is mainly about expression of thoughts, mine. So, it is a bit one sided, but like you, I put a lot of research into them, well, the few articles I have written anyway.
Thanks for dropping by myLot!

| 5. zeethegr8 (290) | 9 months ago |  I have 3 blogs of my own, one is my personal blog - a sort of personal diary. I use it to treasure moments from my everyday life which I feel are worth remembering.
The other blog that I have is about the movies that I have wathced all through my life. I'm a big movie buff.
The third one is currently under construction, as I'm using it to store my college notes and be able to help my juniors get answers to basic questions of subjects from my graduation course.

|
| zorlone (89) | 9 months ago | I visited your "my periodical" site, interesting...
I think having a "notes blog" is a good thing, you don't just remember what you wrote, but, you also help others with who have just started. That is a generous gesture.
Cheers! | |

6.  sysdexlicwriter (1131) | 9 months ago |  I had the same dilemma when I first started blogging. I did not know what to write about so, I just started writing about everything that came to my mind. I sorted the articles by subject and am now in the process of dividing the subjects and doing separate blogs on separate subjects.
As you find yourself going through this process, you may enjoy working on the graphic layouts, adding pictures (make sure they are open domain/not copyrighted), and in general learning to navigate through all of this.
I also found it helpful to check some books out of the library on blogging and reading a lot of information on google blogspot help menus.
Happy blogging.

| zorlone (89) | 9 months ago | I guess, we just have to stick with the topics we blog about. Good thing you were able to sort through all the topics you have. What I like about blogging is that, like you, there are a lot of things we learn every time. How to add a widget, what graphics to add, what topics to talk about. There is a lot of room to learn.
Cheers! | |

| 8. dik_an (303) | 9 months ago |  Hello zorlone!
first of all I want to distinguish between blog and web. The main difference between blog and webs is the content and the author. Blog mainly contains the perception and general life of the owner which can be share in a blog and written by the blog's owner. Different with web, which can contain several issues, like news, sport, gossips, ect.
Ok, I have two active blog. The first one is my live diary in my mother toungue language. I love multiply to post it here. I want to make another one, because I think my blog is full. YOu know, I started blogging three years ago and have so many written here. I want to refresh it and make a new one to write.
The second one, I made it in wordpress.com which is mainly in English. I wrote my experience as a student in aboard there. Thanks for your discussion and happy mylotting!

| zorlone (89) | 9 months ago | Hello dik_an,

Very good discussion and more power to our blogs!
Cheers!

| 9. tea512 (625) | 9 months ago |  i think if you wnat your blog to be sucsessful you have to find a niche and then likn up with others from that niche. you can just write about anything and hope people will come or just use a blog as a form expression. I have four all about different things. I do it for the money so they are tailored to make money and spit my political views. good Luck

| 10. SpikeTheLobster (803) | 9 months ago |  Blogs can be about anything: the only reason they're blogs and not normal web pages is because they're updated a lot and use special software.
You'd be surprised how popular poetry blogs are: a couple of the most visited 'writing' blogs on one of the sites I use are poetry.
I have four blogs at the moment: one is a personal journal of life as a full-time carer (which I don't maintain much). The main one is my writing blog (the one in my profile), where I chatter on about style, grammar, content, writing, blogging and so on (which reminds me - I must do the second Blogging Basics entry!). I have another which is for fun stuff found on the web, actually owned by my partner (I just help her post). The final one is for reviews of whatever I happen to be watching, reading or whatever.
I'm also doing a paid blog job at the moment (for another week), posting on tech news, films and other geek stuff.
The advice of one previous poster is probably best: post about whatever you like for a while, keep it categorised, then separate out any 'niche' content into its own blog. That'll leave your first one with just poetry and personal stuff.

| zorlone (89) | 9 months ago | Thanks Spike,
Now I'm a bit cautious with my grammar and tenses! LOL... I visited your wordophilia, I should say that you are one heck of a writer! I was hoping for you have an entrecard where i could drop, but i didn't find any. I guess it's no t a supported feature. I saw that ad on helium too. I was hoping to post on that topic as well. he he he.
Will be keeping track of your blog, I'm sure I will learn a lot from you!
Thanks for the encouragement and advise. I will keep posting my poems and will be extra careful with the technical stuff (you know, grammar, etc:)) I hope to hear your opinions when you find time to visit.
Good luck with that paid blog you are working on!
Cheers! | |

| SpikeTheLobster (803) | 9 months ago | Thanks for dropping in and for the nice comments. I don't use Entrecard, which is why it's missing.
I was thinking about your poetry blog today and wondered how Blogspot works for revenue. Why? Two reasons: Orble (host of Wordophilia and Peanut Butter, my main blogs) give you 50% of AdSense if you're using it. I don't know if Blogspot is worth more. The second reason, though, is that the lack of people in the writing category means that virtually every post I make gets on the 'most popular' list in the category (currently 3 of the 10 listed are mine) and often on the front page, too. Nice for extra hits.
In addition, if you post regularly, they often offer your own domain (Wordophilia was originally at a www.orble.com/subdomain style URL, but they gave it it's own .com. That gave me PR2 with Google, about 10 Authority at Technorati and a lot more (relatively speaking) hits. Something to consider. I'd be happy to 'mentor' you on there (i.e. refer) of course (though there's no need to do that, you can just start a blog). And you'd have at least one other blogger on there who'd point at your posts. 
Just some food for thought. I know I wouldn't move my blogs now if someone offered me similar, though I may have back at the start!
Got to run to the vet right now (for the cat, not for me), but I'll drop in on yours later and post some thoughts here or there. | |

|
| SpikeTheLobster (803) | 9 months ago | Looks nice! Weird thing is that it only seems to take up about 60% of my browser width, but that's probably because it's Internet Exploder... | |
|
|
| zorlone (89) | 9 months ago | hey spike! Very interesting!!! I like what you said. I was thinking of making poems or stories in a separate blog. I can only write if I'm not seeing patients. Being a part time doctor is my other job! LOL. I just started writing, so I'm really interested to know more. What to write about. What kind of style to use. You know stuff like that. sometime when I write for helium, a formal article turns into a creative writing format so, I really have to hone this skill.
I'd be glad if you could mentor me. Call me padawan, you'll be O.B. 1-kanobi.
Will PM you later, it's time to save lives first. | |
