I just found this post through another blog and I think it gives a very good insight into blogging. Although I'm not a WoW player, these points will help me in improving my blog. Although I started out my blog more as a personal journal, I tend to write more and more with a public in mind. In the end, most old (leather bound) diaries are the ones that really give insight into people thoughts and lives and they're written as if you write a letter to someone. With the above points in mind, I think I can make a good blog with a combination of things that interest me. And who knows, maybe in the end more and more readers will be interested too. Thanks for your tips! .-= Ilse´s last blog ..<a href="http://chocoscrapheaven.wordpress.com/2009/08/31/happy-birthday-to-me/" rel="nofollow">Happy birthday to me!</a> =-. Wow!

I am still in that first 60 days time period and trying not to wash away with the tide of other failed blogs. I think I am currently in the 'no one has found your blog' or 'people found your blog but didn't subscribe' phases, which is disheartening but those few regular readers I have are all that more rewarding because of it. .-= Puut´s last blog ..<a href="http://elementalsham.blogspot.com/2009/07/updates.html" rel="nofollow">Updates...</a> =-.

I've been recently posting snippets of my blog on Gameriot and linking back, and the feedback has been harsh sometimes, from people cropping pictures on my site to Jabba the Hutt's body to my being told I'm pretentious and bland. But it's like you said: I know what I write is of worth. I can't please everyone, so those who do like what I write will continue getting it. It is hard, though, developing a tough skin against attacks through the internet's anonymity. <abbr><em>Beejs last blog post..<a href="http://professorbeej.blogspot.com/2009/06/not-your-parents-literature-traditional.html" rel="nofollow">Not Your Parents' Literature: Traditional vs. Blended Genre Traditions</a></abbr></em> I see what you’re talking about regarding having a tough skin.

It seems like most of it is common sense, but there are some definite nuggets of wisdom in there. My blog is fairly young, and it's still finding it's place in the world. It's a mixture of tips and guides and random thoughts, and I'm not sure there's anything wrong with that. It seems to me, that as long as your mixture of content is on the same general topic, it's not bad to have variety. <abbr><em>Randul the Dwarfs last blog post..<a href="http://wheresmedrink.wordpress.com/2009/06/02/screen-shot-of-the-week-2/" rel="nofollow">Screen Shot of the Week</a></abbr></em> This was a good read.
