	<htmltext>some people post less often than 120 days.  I started mine to let my family know how I was doing in Iraq and posted once in a while to let them know I was OK.  Now I post various updates to my life, book reviews, or anything else I feel like.  Surprisingly, some people in my and my wife's family actively read and await the next post.  I have a friend who sometimes posts less often than 120 days, but I wouldn't call his abandoned either.</htmltext>

	<title>Most People's Blogs Suck</title>

	<htmltext>Most people's blogs suck for the simple reason that <i>they have no content</i>. <br>
<br>
A blog is only interesting if you can post info that others would not have been able to find on their own, and that they would <strong>want</strong> to find. Most blogs fail on both counts, so they only post short commentaries and links--links that often only lead to posts in other people's blogs, instead of straight to the content that is the subject of the discussion.
<br>
<br>
{-blogs do work well for posting personal information and stories for family and friends to read; that is a realistic use--but then, the target audience is only a few closely-related people-}
<br>
<br>
Now if Google would just introduce an "ignore blog results" option, the dreck of this part of the internet would finally get the attention it truly deserves. <br>

	<htmltext>I think one reason many blogs fail is because the blogger didn't set up a posting schedule beforehand. Many blogs that I like to read promise they will put up a new post every Sunday, or every M-W-F or whatever works for them. I like it because I know when to look for new posts and also because it shows commitment on the blogger's part to the blog.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>"I hate your blog. You own a dog, and you feed it.
You post about it. I get to read it.
Plus: five paragraphs on the socks you bought
and your thoughts on whether Nicole Ritchie's hot or not.
You got no reason to be typing, yet you persist.
Hit each key with your fist till you punch out your top ten list
of all the things that ever happened in your life.
Number one: met Michael Jackson's second wife.
Number two: got Curly on the Which Stooge Are You
Poll, as the GIF proves. Click for the link-through!
Three: saw puppy pictures on a web page,
kittens in a nest egg. The idea gestated:
Why not open up your own?
So you bought the account and yet I hope you don't
put the payments in on it every month like they want,
'cause then you'll disappear off the internet, haunt
just the Wayback Machine like a ghost.
And I won't be like, "How come you don't post??"
I promise I won't."

OMG I just got my new blog on blogspot, everyone I know is now reading <i>hilarious</i> stories about my cat.  Yesterday, he threw up on my carpet and I spent four or five posts describing the *huck huck huck* noise he started making, the vomit on the carpet, removing the vomit, getting the stain out, you know just things people love to read about!  Mr. Freckles was sick but he got better!  Oh yes he did!  Yesyesyesyes!  <br> <br>

<i>*one week later*</i> <br> <br>

Oh, blogpost is <i>so</i> last week.  It turns out only about one person was reading it but now you can <i>see</i> Mr. Freckles on Flickr!  You can actually see the vomit and the piece of yarn covered in bile that Mr. Freckles produced!  And we have pictures of Mr. Freckles at the vet getting his temperature taken!  People LOVE IT!  <br> <br>

<i>*one week later*</i> <br> <br>

Oh, Flickr isn't as great as Mr. Freckles thought.  It turns out only about one person was looking at Mr. Freckles but that doesn't matter because I just figured out how to get my own podcast!  Now people can <i>hear</i> my awesome squeaky super opinionated voice explain how cuddly wuddly my cat is!  Who's more cuddly than Mr. Freckles?  Nobody, <i>that's</i> who!  Listen to Mr. Freckles complain about his ear infection!  <br> <br>

<i>*one week later*</i> <br> <br>

I guess those five podcast downloads were really just me if you count my laptop/desktop/work computer/iPod/iPhone but that doesn't matter, Mr. Freckles is a <b>movie star</b>!  We have our own YouTube channel and we get over 100 views a week!  Mr. Freckles is friends with Play Him Off Cat too!  We just wish they weren't from the same bad egg posting that "nobody wants to watch your fucking cat!"  Well, I know the world loves Mr. Freckles almost as much as I do and you're going to hear about him.  No matter where you live or what you do, I'm going to leave a bunch of accounts that are nothing but shells like a trail of used condoms behind a frat boy.  And if you post painful anti-Mr. Freckles posts about me and Mr. Freckles, I shall only redouble my efforts.  I <b>will not</b> stop until I find a way to bring Mr. Freckles' love to you!</htmltext>

My site <a href="http://www.geekazon.com/" title="geekazon.com">http://www.geekazon.com/</a> [geekazon.com] which mostly documents a big home renovation project, consistently brings in about $30/month from Google ads.
