the rules of blogging

Wake up. There aren’t any real rules in blogging. That’s because different people perceives differently to different things. It’s about how you get the right readers to get interested in your blogging style. (The readers speak for themselves. Check out the big range of opinions in my previous post.)

So, don’t waste your time going around stereotyping (if you’re too free, go feed the dog or something. If you do not have a dog, go find a dog).

If you want to blog your style, just blog it away - you don’t have to listen to any “experts”. And if you want to look for a good blog, go read it and decide for yourself. It all comes back to your ethical principles when you want to agree with things for yourself.

My perception of a good blog ?

1) Simple.
Easy to navigate and layouts are neat. I don’t really care about the colors or the font type, as long as I can fucking read it without problem.

2) Fast loading time (this proportionates to point #1 above)
Speed is important in cyberworld. If I want to listen to musics or watch some videos, the last place I’ll ever visit, is a blog. Go figure.

3) Original
If you do not have any idea to blog, well…don’t. Somehow, I always disliked the idea of people putting in some shitty lyrics or some poems they obtained from a secondary text book, and call that an entry - just for the sake of updating.

4) Contents (the most important of all)
Your blog content keeps me coming back for more. Be it about bitching, rants or your adventures playing with your neighbourhood kids, I don’t care. This is all about gut feel. I like it ? Then you’re good. The blogs listed in my “Colors of the Blogosphere” are some of the examples I’m talking about… (refer to ‘links’ page)
