3 Habits of Highly Successful Blogs
I've been reading a butt ton of food blogs lately b/c I'm a recipe junkie, and I like to try new things all the time. Heck, I've been looking at a gazillion types of blogs lately. Personal blogs. Craft blogs. Blah, blah, blah. And here's what I've determined makes a successful blog...
It's not enough to just be a good writer. Oh, no. You have to be freakishly awesome at something. Cooking, for example. And THEN you also have to have a ridiculously expensive camera that takes ridiculously awesome pictures.
Now, I'm not knocking these blogs b/c I obviously love them or I wouldn't follow them. I guess I only point these things out b/c it makes me realize that no matter how long I've had this blog, it will never be as successful as those other ones b/c 1) I'm not freakishly awesome at anything. In fact, I'm averagely mediocre at everything. and 2) I don't have a ridiculously expensive camera. I have a nice camera, yes. But you know the ones I'm talking about. I had to mystery shop for them at Best Buy once, and one day... one day when I'm rich, I will buy one. Until then, though, I'm content with my nice one.
Oh, wait, I just realized I am good at something. I'm good at using a butt ton of adverbs in a sentence. haa... and I'm pretty sure I made up the word "averagely."
10 points for creativitiedness. (I just made that up, too. +5 points.)
I had some sad thoughts about my livejournal the other day. What if something happened to this site and all my words were gone? I would be devastated. Is there some way I can get a copy of all my entries? Anyone know? There are some precious memories on here. And a lot of nonsense. Take this entry, for example. But I'd really like to preserve the memories if possible.
Bother, Bother, Bother...
