Blog Surfing
The last couple of days I've been surfing. This means hitting the "next
blog" button at the top of my blog page. I use my blog page every time
because that way people who view their web page tracking information.
That way, I get some back hits. Something else I've caught myself doing
is leaving comments on people's blogs. When I read a blog entry that
isn't half bad, I hate to see "0 Comments" at the bottom. It drives me
nuts. They should get some feedback. I like getting feedback (hint).
Things I've noticed
I have noticed a couple of strange things. (based solely on my opinion.)
* Good blogs have more comments.
* Good blogs have pictures people took themselves.
* Good blogs make sense more often than not.
* Bad blogs seem to have plenty of hits regardless of content.
* Bad blogs use too many ellipsis points.
* Bad blogs have lots of pictures of stuff people took off the net.
* Bad blogs have lots of "stuff" all over the place and no content.
There are some really horrible attempts at communication in the
blog-sphere. There are some really well composed writings too. Some
people have a flair for evil. Some comment on a boring day and make it
sound like a feature film.
It wasn't me. You can't prove anything.

Wow! That list you wrote up makes so much sense, and I'm definitly stealing your "next" button strategy! I'm the same way about leaving comments, because I hate to see someone who pours everything into writing their blog and then, for all they know, no one is reading it. Even leaving a little comment can make someone feels better, kinda like in that terrible movie "Pay it Forward"... Well, maybe not, but you know what I mean. And man, was that movie ever terrible.
How about a reciprocal comment?
Thanks a lot for your note on my 'blot. Even though I write for myself, it is nice to know that someone has read it. I could be getting 2 million hits a day (yeah, right!) and not know it if no one comments. Keep up the good work, and we may just name you the "Blogger Morale Officer." :-D
