A huge number of us do it, some of us enjoy some don`t, but it`s a fun experience. WE are also a special type of breed that does not stay silent, we speak our oppinions out loud, that`s right, WE BLOG! This discution is mostly for bloggers but if you are`nt one, would you liek to become one? Why? Why haven`t you yet? For the more writing gifted ones, what inspires you and what is your blog centered on? Is it a personal one, a political one, religios, a photo one? Share your ideas and thoughts and also post links so we can all see.

I have WAY too many blogs. Seriously. They are all different aspects of myself, my life, my hobbies etc. Right now I have a blog for a forum I'm on, a photo blog, a holiday blog, a craft blog, a money blog, a household tips blog and a few personal ones. I'm a confessed blog addict.

I personally love to blog. I love being able to get my views and information out there and have other people read and absorb what I write. My blog is sports-centered, specifically around the teams and sports that I closely follow. It can be found at sabresbills.blogspot.com.

I am a writer and enjoy writing, so blogging is an interesting concept for me. The personal ones are great for large families to keep updated on what is going on with everyone in my opinion, but otherwise, I don't really see the point. I am not sure if I would want all my personal life out there for all to see daily. But blogging on opinions in politics, world news, local news, general happenings, and things like that - those types I love and don't mind doing. They invite people to get information on subjects and see how others feel about them, etc. In that way I think they are a great thing.

Yet most of the ones I have seen lately DO say that... my life, who I saw, what we did, etc etc of a personal nature. And those are the ones I don't really appreciate. The other type, as you mentioned, I do. That is all I was saying.

Well blogging isn`t really ment jsut to say what you ate today and what u did, it`s more about sharing oppinions and communicating with others. A sort of an online debate the same way you talk on different subjects with friends family or collegues, a blog is preety much the same thing but you really need to like it and have the patience to write something decent and creative. Cheers.

I currently have a blog on Word Press. I don't consider my blog a personal, political, or religious blog. I like to think of my blog as a "service" blog. I collect freebies, and cool offers that I find and post them on a blog so people don't have to go looking for them. It makes it easy for people who work to find free offers, and makes it even easier for people who are watching kids or don't have the time to complete the offers. Thats my view on blogs. I posted my link below! http://www.freebiejeebies.wordpress.com Dutch http://cashcrate.com/826983

My blog is a mix between everything, but i somehow maintain the idea of a dialogue with my readers. Now it will be kinda of hard for people here to understand anything from it, because it`s in romainian my native language, the link is http://nu-pe-mine.blogspot.com.

My blogs are mostly on fitness because I am a personal trainer. I meet many people and recieve e-mails from many people wanting to know how to lose weight through proper diet and exercise (because I have lost over 100 pounds myself). Blogging is fun! I blog on my buisness website, on myspace, and on Blogger. I also write articles on Triond.com and have been published in a couple magazines. It's great to be able to share my knowlege. Blogger.com is a great place to start blogging especially if you already have a gmail.com account. I am thinking of also starting a personal blog soon.

Well I started blogging with lots of enthusiasm one year ago and disappointed. Not because it's hard to blog but because it is harder to drive traffic in your blog.

Not that hard... if you can't find any topic to write... just think about how you feel about your day... But I just couldn't figure out how they could earn money from blogging??? Is it possible to earn money from Wordpress or Blogger???

Not really as long as you blog about the things that really interest you. For example I have a blog about magic http://marvelous-magic.blogspot.com. I also have a blog in learning French http://learn-frenchnow.blogspot.com Both are truly my interests and for me these blogs of mine are actually a way to share to the world my talents.

I have my blog at Blogger.com, its three months old and has good traffic everyday. I write about entertainment things in my blog and post game and movie trailers. Blogging is easier than maintaining a website, I do maintain my own sites.

I have 2 blogs. 1 is quite old while the other just started few days ago. The first blog is more towards personal opinions on things such as motivational, life, anime, PS3, career, business, leadership, bla bla bla. And the second blog is more to investment and money making as a beginner. You can find them both here 1- http://blog.alvinlim.info and 2- http://novice.alvinlim.info It's hard to blog everyday though. One of the most important lessons for blogging is .......... only post a topic if you really have something to say. :P

I have just recently registered and started a blog through blogspot. It is a blog especially devoted to help learn,understand and share knowledges and experiences about how to live a life of fulfilling relationship,material and physical wellbeing,good health and mind and harmonious environment.It is a creative blog mostly focusing on discussions and sharing of experiences on spiritual essence,empowerment and awakening. I have posted few articles based on my own spiritual experience,knowledge and realization,inviting others to present their views,wisdom and experiences. Since the blog is now in the stage of development,I have not been able to put any effort for its promotion. My blog link is http://knowyourself.blog.co.in/ You are welcome to visit this blog site and give your valuable comments and advice. Thanks.

I've been blogging since 2004, my first blog was more on like a journal of my life, the hard times and the happy times of my life but decided to hide it on private mode due to some reasons. Now still blogging but my blog talks about recipe's, I also have a movie guide blog and a text messages blog. What inspires me to blog? My hubby inspires me to blog and also if you have a blog there's a lot of way to earn money while you blog. You're having fun while you blog plus you earn out of blogging. http://moblogkitchenomicks.blogspot.com/ http://movieguidereviews.blogspot.com/ http://textmates.blogspot.com/

OOppss dull me!

I have just started a blog on WordPress with only one post so far. I don't follow one particular topic; I just post random stuff that comes to mind. I have currently posted info on a dog community. I guess I could make my blog all on animals. Blogs have basically turned into places where people post their knowledge on the world. I haven't seen many blogs these days that are 'web logs.' http://zyrrox.wordpress.com/ that's mine:)
