I read a lot of bogs and I have been trying to find out what makes a good blog.
Is it facts? Well some blogs are not factual except maybe in the bloggers head.
Is it humour well some are very funny and do not seem to attract much attention, while others which people think are humorous are to me quite dull.
The reason I am thinking about it is because I get very few comments. Perhaps I am dull or just plain crap, maybe what I write about holds no interest or does not ring true not that seems to bother many other blogs.
Maybe I do not write enough, but some blogs do not post for ages and still get comments.
Now what bought this on? Why am I thinking about this?
Now in my life I have never pursued cool. Now that does not mean? I do not dress poorly or have body issues.
It just seemed the more Cool somebody was the less interesting they became, as they spent too much time being cool and usually lost the plot.
But perhaps I am trying now to pursue cool. A strange concept indeed a kind of geek chic as lets face it cool people in the world do not do blogs (if I am wrong do say!) they are too busy being "Cool".
Maybe I write this blog to be noticed, and have people say- you know charley you are right, maybe that is why I do not get many comments, everyone who reads my blog agrees completely with my point of view.
If this is so maybe my thoughts are not pure and I blog for my needy and self centred ego. I just want to be noticed excepted and loved. (A bit like the vogon captain in hitchhikers guide but do not fret i will not spout poetry)
So is a good blog about pleasing others and I should write things that other people find funny, if so why blog at all it is supposed to be your voice funny or not.
But as George Orwell said “madness is a minority of one”

In order to get comments on your blog, you need to go and comment on other people's. That way they go "who's this witty/ thoughtful/ poignant remark from? let's go and check out their blog"
Comment regularly and you'll find that some of the other readers of the blogs you visit willalso be interested in who is the author of these witty/ thoughtful/ poignant remarks and they'll come and visit too.
And when someone does visit, always be courteous enough to reply, because in the end we all like to think that our comments were read.
You may have the most fantastic blog in the world, but unless people find it, it will just go to waste.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for the advice. You are right on the more you comment on blogs the more people take notice.
its down to me.
