A blog that rates the best and worst of blog directories
Posted on June 28, 2007 - Filed Under Blogging | 1 Comment
I’m not sure how many bloggers submit their sites to blog directories (like I do), but if you do, then you must have figured out by now that there are a whole lot of directories out there to choose from to list your site on! While searching for some directory ratings, I came across http://blog-dir.blogspot.com/ in the Google search results.

Goodness, I just spent the last 3 hours fixing all of my previous posts so that I would be using labels correctly! Thankfully, I only had about 160 or so posts to go through and not hundreds and hundreds.

Reasons why I like to blog and reasons why you shouldn’t blog
Posted on April 1, 2007 - Filed Under Blogging | Leave a Comment
I’m writing this post because I was talking to one of my friends just a little while ago and he was just really annoyed at why some people blog! So what happened was that he just started blogging a couple of months back and there’s this guy who keeps posting comments on his blog that go something like “Great post, blah blah blah” and then he writes where he blogs and puts a link in at the bottom to his blog. Nothing major and I think everyone has done that a few times (I did recently), but this guy keeps doing it! But the best part about the whole thing is that my friend read a post off his blog and decided that he would post a comment because he enjoyed the post, but the guy had his blog set to APPROVE comments!!!

As I was looking for something to read, I came across Dale Carnegie’s Golden Book in my brothers room and started reading his rules on how to win friends, influence people, make yourself happy, cultivating good habits, etc. and I realized that there are a couple of principles that match really well with bloggers and blogging (well at least for me!).
