Fancy my 100th blog post!
I start out this blog hoping to map out that happened today for tomorrow. I did’nt want to be boxed in but needing the space to discover what my world is and had been.
I was given the tip that if I had wanted to receive comments on my blog, I should provide my profile. Will this make any difference if I didn’t honor one? Unlike the real world, should I speak at a seminar or give a lecture, I’m obligated to provide my credentials for professional etiquette.
I get to know a blogger by the content written…not by the profile given.
Increasingly I enjoy the photo (not the exhibitionists) and doodles blogs more than the word blogs. Many word blogs are rants and ramblings and are poorly expressed though to the writer, it is masterpiece! Of course there are the exceptions. I enjoy those word blogs that include a photo or two.
Another tip given was if I had wanted a stream of bloggers to my blog, I should concentrate on one area of topic. I blog not for popularity contest! I blog anything and everything for memories and keepsakes!
The judges on tv program ‘American Idol’ were paid handsomely to comment to talent scout. Simon Cowell’s infamous caustic remarks given to those wanna-be’s a foretaste and cut to the world of entertainment or the rich-n-famous.
However in the blog world, comments are provided for one to share one’s thoughts or opinions; for interaction and encouragement; a conversational piece between bloggers; personally these help me to connect the content written with greater clarity.
Is there an art to the blog comments? I wonder.
I suspect that some nasty comments provided by those labeled ‘anonymous’ came from ones closer to the blogger than realized...perhaps done out of jealousy or spite or sheer bad-taste fun!
I join the blogaholics blog as I found increasingly whenever I have the time or am bored, on reflex I’d go to the blog sites rather than pick up a magazine to browse or read a book which I did previously.
Unfortunately today a lot of that published are mere rehash of the past or re-written except for a difference in concept or stance! All for money’s sake!
Naturally at workplaces, emails have replaced post-mails or delivered mails and these have become one’s diet of daily correspondence whereas previously, when the email first came on the scene, this was viewed as a form of addiction. How perception of issues and life changes with time!
