What is blogging about?

Question

I'm considering writing a blog but I don't actually know what people write about. Is it like an online diary?

I've tried looking at other people's but I can't find anything worth looking at.

So what I want to know is: what do you write? what's the point of it? which are the best website's to set one up on?

any other info would be nice =) thanks.

Answer 1

A blog is an online journal of your thoughts. People write them for various reasons, but Yahoo! 360 is designed as a social networking tool with friends/family or to meet new people. A blog is one of those tools.

I write mine to keep my close friends/family updated on my activities and thoughts. This blog - http://360.yahoo.com/kee_y360 - is where I write blogs about features that can be used in 360, post about my interests, and communicate with friends. I express myself better in writing. People read blogs out of curiosity about other people's lives and opinions.

A good blog to me:

1) Mainly, is one that is authentic. Your thoughts, your creative background, your interests - there's only one "you," so be expressive! I know, that's corny, but it's true.

2) Keep it updated.

3) Theme... is your blog a commentary on the latest news? Is it a diatribe about activities in your daily life? Is it only about your pet's quirks? A theme isn't necessary, but a purpose helps. Now, if you just want to write anything that comes to mind, well, try to make it sound like an interesting read.

4) A sense of fun - humor always helps.

Popular, free blogging services:

Wordpress (http://wordpress.com ), Blogger/Blogspot (http://www.blogger.com ) and Livejournal (http://livejournal.com ).

OR you can use Y!360:
