I know Nick's been doing his bit on Livejournal for a long time. I guess a part of me was always nervous about running a home page. I thought it was analogous to posting a picture and list of contents to your apartment on your apartment door. I just felt like there was a little TMI on most people's home pages and when it morphed into online diaries, it was a bit too much for me.

But here I sit in a forum with nearly 5000 posts behind me, some of which are as silly and unrelated to headphones as this one is. So I wonder--maybe I should have a blog. Then people can choose to be bored or insulted by me especially instead of my attracting the wrath of the random headphone passer-by.

What do you guys think? Do you already have blogs? Thinking of getting one soon. Cast a vote. It's at least as relevant as voting for a celeb to fix your energy problem.

I have one, but i dont write in it EVERYDYA, just about everyother day. I dont know, part of me likes to write, and i also just need a place to vent sometimes.

Many friends of mine have them, not me though.

Head-Fi doesn't count?!

A blog would be kind of cool, but the people on Head-Fi don't get nearly as tired of me bragging about my gear as my school friends would...

I notice that I can be ignored here just fine, I don't need more people ignoring me.
Have you looked at many blog sites? I never have looked any up so I don't know exactley how they work. I understand the concept.

For you kelly, where you seem to like to type a lot, I would suggest you go for it. You have a way with words and as you noted, you can really catch some attention at times.

Well, I've read a few of the folks on Livejournal and Deadjournal. There seem to be more interesting tools out there for those who publish on their own web page. Blogger got bought by Google and they have a fairly simple interface and have apparently become the most popular one on the web. Some seem to specialize in photo stuff like slower.net and the screen savers guys give props to one called typepad.

I don't know much about it yet. The social aspect of it is more interesting to me than the technological aspect. I knew of folks keeping rant lists on their web pages and little journal entries on their finger response back in the day so it's really nothing new, just a lot more popular now.

Thanks for the words about my words. The attention, I'm afraid, is owed more to the oversensitivity of people with differing opinions than in my being particularly interesting.

I am not interesting enough - nobody would read it!

I have a blog, haven't written in it for a week and a half. I just started it earlier this month, and I mainly use it to comment on news items but I haven't been reading the news as much the last week or so. I doubt anybody will actually ever view it. If you actually have any interest it is on my site linked to in my profile.

blog is a kind of personal webpage. but it is different. i think if you want many people to see your blog, you can advertise it in anywhere. some people just want it as a diary, they dont care about who will read it. it is all depends on what you want a blog to be.

i have one. and i keep writing it. blog is for a person like me who dont know html and java.

 

[Joe Bloggs]

<--Yes I think

I think a lot of people know html and java but still use blogs because of the interface and (sometimes) the built in interaction with other bloggers.
