Is a blog for me?

Right, I've been thinking about this for sometime...should I start a blog?

Does anyone care?, what's the points, whom do I write it for...me or you?

Have your say and vote...and if you have any ideas on a title...maybe Caspar's Crazy Capers? ...just seems lame sorry!

Re: Is a blog for me?

I just don't get blogs at all. I kinda figure that the people who read them are the sorts that watch soap operas religiously.... and that's another thing that I just can't grasp.

So, erm, I voted No.

I just don't see the point in blogs, but then again, I may start one to see what the fuss is all about at some point.

Re: Is a blog for me?

I think.. give it a go... the main thing is if you enjoy doing it, not whether people think you should or not.

therefore if you don't enjoy it, then stop doing it.. simple.

personally I like it, as a periodic outlet for my workplace frustrations... I rarely post more than two days in a row, it's more a psychological crutch than anything of communal value, so I don't think I'm really a "blogger" as such

Re: Is a blog for me?

I was tempted to write one myself and include a name filter So all words that match X would be replaced with a predefined name... therefore I can write about people I know etc... to an extent!

Re: Is a blog for me?

What you should think about is a subject. It makes sense when you think about it. Some people talk about tech matters, or news....or like myself I have a Fishing diary....which is very well read !!
What you dont want to do is have a blog that just talks about your day....unless it is like a personal thing..in which case why not have a paper and pen one.....where you can be brutally honest about people "ooOOOhhhhhh I HATE that Mr so and so"
