Two Types Of Blogs

I am a bad blogger.  I think I figured that out today, reading some of the rules for blogging.

One of the main laws of blogging is to publish content regularly.  I would call what I do – sporadic at best.

Lots of days I just don’t feel like writing anything so I don’t.  Then I will suddenly get in the mood and think if 10 things to write about.

There is no even flow to what I do and how I do it.  But even with this handicap I think there is still a place for me.

There seems to be two types of blogs:

  1. Community building, regular posting, blogs – the kind people return to frequently and sign up for their RSS feed to see what is going on.

  2. The one timer – people stumble across read one thing then never return.
I think I am more the number 2 type, and given this I need to try and keep my information short and basic.  More for the AOL user who just got their computer and is looking for a simple answer to a question.

They don’t want to join a family and return everyday to see how everyone is doing.

So based on my new found knowledge of how I do things. I am gong to start coming up with more basic how to pages with easy to follow ideas for the newer user.

I have to go come up with a new idea now so I can’t write anymore.
