A blog on blogging (DA HAWT)
By inferiorego 11 Comments
What is a blog?
Well, dictionary.com says a blog (or web-log) is this: "an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a Web page"
A pretty good definition if you ask me. Personal thoughts. Good. And here on ComicVine we have the capability of not only writing blogs, but we can also post the blogs into the forums for everyone to see. The thing is, does anyone want to see it? Maybe, maybe not, that's for the masses to decide. Nevertheless, I personally think we have some great blogs here on CV, I'm not going to point any out, just as I'm not going to point bad ones out (we'll get to that part soon), but a lot of people here have different opinions on a variety of topics they like to talk about. Now, I usually don't personally agree with some of the things said in blogs here, but nonetheless, they are still great blogs. To me, a blog is something you're sharing to your audience. Whether it is a video you made, personal thoughts on your life or something in the industry, or thought provoking material you want others to think about. That's all great stuff...
Now, many may be thinking, "What's the point of this IE?" Well, thanks for abreviating my name first of all. Second, the point is this, why bother posting a blog and having it in the forums if it is like this,
WOLVERINE IZ DA HAWT!
That's the whole blog, just the title of the blog. The mispelling was just for my own personal amusement, nothing more. Nothing will come of this blog except for people making fun of you. And we do have some younger viners here, and they may get offended easily, so why bring the discomfort down upon yourself by making this thread?
Other not-so-great ideas... Posting a blog in the forums that already exists.
Marvel vs. DC
"Which is better?"
We have threads like this already. Again, why bother? Search for the thread and get the discussion going again.
Maybe I hold blogging to too high of a standard? Maybe I except too much sometimes? Like I said, the majority of the stuff on here is great, but why post something in the forums if it's just going to take up space? (like this will) Sad thing is, the people that are guilty of this, will never read this because they only pay attention to the stuff they post.....
Back to work....
