Blogging for a purpose

Wednesday, December 7th, 2005 at 8:12 pm

I’ve been having difficulty with my blog lately. I’m running out of things to talk about…and I don’t want to be “just another blog”. I don’t want to be ‘just another website/blog, which links to others and recaps articles and things of interest, as I see so many websites do.

What I’m trying to say is, my site needs a purpose. What should I do with this thing?
In the past I blogged about my everyday life (mainly on Xanga), but I believe I’ve outgrown that stage of my life. Blogging about what I did the previous day just doesnt satisfy me anymore.

If anyone actually comes across here and happens to read this, please, feel free to comment and give suggestions as to what I should do with this thing.

Quote of the Day?

Monday, November 14th, 2005 at 12:29 pm

I may do something a bit different, by offering up a Quote of the Day..

Well, in any case, here’s today’s QOTD.

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it. — Ellen Goodman

How much is your Blog worth?

Thursday, October 27th, 2005 at 9:51 pm

Lee Hopkins did the math and computed a number of blog-valuations. The values are based upon the Weblogs, Inc./AOL deal, i.e. dividing the purchase price by the number of inbound links the blogs have. Your blog value is determined by multiplying your Technorati link count by a dollar amount.

I’m only worth $564.54.
How much are you worth?

When spam attacks

Thursday, October 20th, 2005 at 9:56 pm

Just when I thought things were settling down, I’ve been raped with comment spam. When will it end!
Within just the last 2 hours, I’ve got 6 of ‘em. Today (which is not yet over) i’ve had almost 45!
Thank goodness for Spam Karma 2 [shameless plug].

I assume my blog is being tested by some bots, probably to see what sort of information can get through to my actual comment page. Luckily nothing does. Everything gets moderated, unless you’re registered or you’ve already commented. So I give a big Fuck You to all the comment spam bots out there.. and I dare say, Do your worst!
