Istijlál (Majesty), 5 Qudrat (Power) 175 B.E. - Thursday, November 8, 2018
You've made it a full week! Congratulations! Today I want to know, what do YOU think makes a good blogger? What are characteristics that make you want to read someone else's blog? If you were judging your own blogging ability, how would you rate yourself? What aspects of blogging are most important to you? "I blog, therefore I am!" Unknown Blogger What makes a good blogger? I don't know! Bloggers blog for different reasons. Some want to get their ideas out into the world. Some want to make money off of the knowledge they have acquired through research and experience. Some want to share their creative efforts. Different bloggers blog for different reasons. Some of them are good, while others are mediocre or bad. Some improve with practice, while others don't. I suspect that a good blogger is one who has lots of followers, and gets lots of comments on blog posts. What are characteristics that make me want to read someone else's blog? I look at the title to see if it arouses my curiosity. Next I look at the blogger's name, to determine if I read an entry before. If the title of the entry grabs me, I'll read. If I can't remember reading the author in a while, or I haven't read that person I'll read the entry. Sometimes, instead of writing a comment, I will click on like because I can't think of a comment at the time. How would I rate myself? I won't rate myself. I write. I share quotes and poetry. I attempt to plan an entry the night before I compose it; however, sometimes nothing comes to mind. Even if I plan the entry, or write a rough draft in my pen and paper journal, I usually end up writing the entry without consulting my plan or the rough draft. If I use the rough draft, I rewrite it and it looks different after the rewrite. My approach to blogging is intuition, because I find that less inhibiting. What aspects of blogging are most important to me? The writing and the responses. |
