Favorite blogs
I've been looking through a lot of blogs, just reading and surfing trying to find those rare ones I consider worth the effort it takes to read, and noticed I end up going back to a few everyday. Now what I judge as a good blog might not be what others judge as a good blog. Some might consider my rant a bad blog. It probable is. But it's my blog, so bug of beoch!
I have a few things that I look for in a good blog:
1.) Quality of writing: Is the blog full of "meh saz dat uz no writ gud blog." Or is the blogger in question educated in what they are blogging about? Do they keep the reader interested?
2.) Template and layout: Is the template an eye sour -you know those with hot-pink text on white background blinding you in a headache? Does it take a PhD to try and figure out how to surf the thing?
3.) Content: What are they blogging about? That's the hardest to judge. Topics that interest me might not interest you. But I like all kinds of blogs so, whether it's a personal journal thing or a diary of "sucks and woe is me'ism", or articles and just whatever I'll normally read if it keeps me interested! Goes back to #1.
4.) Update. This, to me, is the one that kills a lot of bloggers. I've seen some blogs out there that haven't been updated in months... years. Some that have like, one or two blog entries two months ago and than the person just lost interest and moved on to something else to lose interest in. I do that too. I have the attention span of a two year with ADD. I'll be googling for a web design tutorial one minute and the next I'll be reading about what bills the Legislature is passing today the next or how to cook since I do well to put toast in the toaster without burning it. I tired being a vegan once, shit I almost starved to death because McD's only has salads in the afternoon and Taco Bell's bean Burrito has cheese on it. Another failed attempt at living healthy. Though I never understood what healthy eating was going to do for you, it's kinda' like saying that smoking will kill you, "no death will kill, smoking keeps me from killing other people." Them anti-smokers hate it when I say that one because they don't know what they can do to argue their point past a homicidal idiot saying that, if he quits smoking he's going to kill someone, and, (devious grin) your standing the closest!
What the fuck was I talking about again... oh ya favorite blogs, sorry about that, got just a tad off topic there for a second didn't I. Um, ... re-reading blog... brb.
Oh yes... number 4.) Are these people just not interested in blogging? If not, why waste the damn web space?
Without further ado, here are the blogs that I like, hope you like them too, because if you don't, it means something's wrong with me. In no particular order, so if you have a trackback and come to scream at me cuz your blog wasn't the first that I mentioned, it's not because I thought it less of a blog, really, honestly...
oakParkMasterMind: This blog trips me the shit out everytime I read it. Some of the blog topics are not only educational (meaning I actually learned something beyond two + two = five.) But it's always worth a laugh.
Sarah's Watson She just moved to the rainforest... I don't think I'll ever move to the rainforest after reading this blog.
VjGreetings Just read about the cats and you'll be hooked.
Mclir Nice article/journal type thing that gets educational in a lot of topics. Might not be for most but I like it for the quality. If you don't FINE, like it's going to hurt my feelings or something.
NothingNews1961 Not really updated a lot, but it's worth waiting for something to turn up every few days or so.
Liza Marie I really dig the design on this one, not sure why though but it's cool looking, plus she's kinda' cute (shit hope she doesn't have trackback.) I'm not a stalker, only a psychopath, not to worry.
tomama Motherhood! I do not envy a mother. Much respect to all the woman out there. I don't see how the modern woman does it. I seen a lady driving down the street the other day with a infant in one arm, bottle in the other hand, steering with her nose, yelling in the backseat at the other three kids to shut-up and talking on the cellphone. I couldn't do it. I'd done been stressed out with a fifth of JD drunk waving a gun around in Time Square and writing suicide notes in the dark. Much respect to ya.
Johnny G. Jumbo Arrogance? yes, but it's an LMAO of a blog.
thatcoloredfellasweblog Go into this one with an open mind and you'll come out with a lot of good information. It's worth spending a little time reading some past articles as well.
Kim Johnson A bunch of good article from a journalist in her free time. Worth reading for some alternative news.
That's it folks. I like 'em and think you will too.
