So many people have blogs, and I'm curious, how often do you spend blogging each day? I don't blog, but I kind of want to try. How do you structure your blog - do you have a theme? Do you ever have trouble deciding what to write about? Do you have regular followers? If so, do you feel obligated to write daily or weekly to keep them interested? It's amazing how the internet has made everyone an author and an expert, I'd love to know more about people's blogging styles!

We blog about our son and his activities and what he's been up to throughout his life. It's mainly for our parents and inlaws and siblings who live overseas. They read it daily and make comments from to time. I think at most I spend about an hour a day posting, sometimes a few hours a week. Whenever we do something as a family or he does an activity of sorts, then we blog about it.

My theme: hate. No it's not about discrimination or anything, I mostly write about what pissed me off today or something. But I also post about the good things :D But it kinda goes against the title of the blog: Things We Love to Hate I don't write too often because I'm busy with other stuffs :P Thanks for the response on my discussion!

I have two blogs. One is personal and one is about making money online. What I do is to blog only when I feel I have something good to say. When I want to share something personal I go to my personal blog and when I want to share my experiences online with making money I go to both... hehehe. Yes, because my personal blog is to write about everything that interests me. I chose an adult hosting for my personal blog cause I simply loved the layout. Has black and a strong pink that catched my eye. Blog for me started with a friend´s sugestion and then I started to like to do it and couldn´t stop. You start to meet people online and then discover many nice sites by friends like I discovered mylot for example and then want to share them with people. And that´s it. You get addicted.

I've been blogging for so many years and yes, it's true that it can help you practice your reading and writing skills.. I must admit that i'm not as good as other bloggers out there but i always try my best to become one of them someday.. I have three blogs and they mainly talk about(Technology, Fashion and Travel). It's kind of hard to maintain three blogs at the same time as i need to update each blog once in a while.. You can start off by using blogger/blogspot, which is a free domain site. Then you need to think of a catchy name/url of your blog. To know more about blogging, then try to read SEO articles, info and tips about it.

I blog 24/7. No, this doesn't mean I'm some wacko who spends his whole day typing his obscure memoirs, it means that I kinda have my blog on the back of my head. You see, my blog is about mocking celebrities and try to give news about upcoming movies. So when a celebrity does something stupid, or a new trailer comes out, or anything similar, I'm already thinking about the joke I'll make about the issue. I think I write an average of 3 to 5 posts a day. I could write more, because celebrities are actually retarded, but that would leave quite a lot of articles without any readers, because of the posts falling out from the front page. Of course, people subscribing to the blog would change that. Unfortunately, because of my sense of humor, I can only attract idiots who don't know what an RSS feed is. Rich

I don't have a blog, but I have my own forum. I have about 30 followers, with a handful of regular posters. I've considered starting a blog, but I think I would run out of things to say after awhile. With a forum, people can at least start their own topics or comment on what's already posted. With a blog, you definitely need a topic you can update with new content at least weekly. I know too many people that keep blogs about their lives, and they're very boring and mundane. I really don't want to read about people's kids, and how they've graduated to size 8 diapers... or how Bob finally got around to replacing that light fixture in the hall. The best blogs contain pictures and new posts all the time - I hate it when I visit my favorite blogs and they haven't updated in weeks. Good luck if you decide to start one!
