"Blog Schlmog"




Does anybody want to tell me what the definition of a good blog is? Of course there’s the usual like putting links and pictures but even if you add those elements to your blogs does that really make it interesting? I wonder what those professional bloggers have that catches the attention of thousands, is it just luck that people happen to like about what they’re talking about or is it something else? While going through various INQ blogs of students I saw that many people have a completely different writing style then others but even though they were talking about the same thing, some had comments while others didn’t. Is it correct grammar? No I don’t think so, is it pretty pictures? I guess that matters at times, like for example Mike’s blog had such a symbolic picture of a person sitting in front of a computer screen with the guy’s feet turning into a tree’s roots, that picture just totally blew my mind. Is that it though, pictures make a good blog? No answer yet, so I decide to look through more blogs. Oh what’s this? A video? Awesome! I’m not going to lie for a second I was confused when I saw the link to the video, don’t judge me, I was just in shock someone did something different! Jacob’s blog was the first one that I saw with a video so I became a follower of his blog. Something just raced passed my mind. That’s it, I know what it is the definition of a good blog (except this my opinion of what a good blog should “look” like.) The definition IS…….. Well there is no definition actually, a good blog consists of various factors and most of them you manipulate them to support your voice on the topic that you’re talking about.  Even though every interesting blog out there have similarities to other good blogs, the major difference is that they all have a different taste in how to support your opinion and not to mention they are very “out of the box.” Writing is almost like water; it flows, curves, and changes its state depending on how you want it to be, the thing is you just have to find a way to change it in a way no one else has done before. I dare you to me tell it won’t catch an audience.
