This is debateable, I think. Blogging is still new to many people, notably the over-fifties who are often scared of what they think is a frivolous and somewhat anarchic activity. I started a photo blog, which I thought would link nicely with my hobby of recording garden visits. Then, about two years ago I hit a wall of incomprehension in using all the widgets and fiddly geeky programs and settings that are second nature to a true nerd but which left me calling for help from experts. This led to starting an analytical Blogger's Blog where I record anything new I find and how I get on with it. It's also a useful space for moaning, if necessary, though this is best kept to a minimum. One blogger gave an insight along the way. Whenever she wrote a more "personal" piece it got much more feedback than informative or artistic posts. Photos get a lot of comments, if they are good. I would not advise wearing one's sleeve on the Internet, or posting about very personal details in one's life, but that reflects my personality rather than current blog trends. Many bloggers are very successful because they write from the heart. I prefer a more superficial and humourous blog style. If you have a moment, any reactions you may have to my blogs would be welcome, as I often re-adjust my views when I read fresh comments. Blogging is like an enormous pavement artists colony, in many ways. Great fun... Have you a link to your blogs, please? I can't seem to find them. Also, if you join Irishblogs.ie, which is a blog aggregator, it should improve your
SEO, as does Blogcatalog:
