Blogging in the 21st Century

We seem to all be looking for a
~~better~~, I guess I mean an easier way to make some money. The answer seems to be blogging. If used correctly a blog can be a terrific tool to inform potential customers of your business. But you don’t have a business you say?

Make-Money-Blogging

Well then a blog can be a terrific way of sharing all your random thoughts that are jumbling around up in your head. Do you love turtles and unicorns and growing sunflowers in the dark? Well then you should write a blog about all of them, and believe me somebody has. If you scroll through any of the popular “free” blogging sites, you will see where let’s say for example a well intentioned stay at home mom has started a blog and promised to write about their garden and recipes once a week. Told all of their friends and even got people subscribed to read their blog every week, they wrote 7 great blog posts and got even more subscribers. The next week when it’s time to blog again, the baby won’t fall asleep so it’s just a few words about not having time today and a promise made to all the loyal followers to get back on track next week. Next week it’s a beautiful day outside and the blog is forgotten for a few months. Then on a rainy day with a quiet house, melancholy takes hold and the next blog is a few depressing sentences thrown together, an apology for not blogging weekly like the original post stated…You know what I mean and forgive me, I am not picking on stay at home moms who have tried to blog.

Blogging for fun

What I am saying is that the free blogging sites are littered with well intentioned people who started to write blogs,picked out the coolest blog titles and after a half a dozen posts, we never hear from them again. There are thousands of college students that started blogs and promised to write about their college career after they sat in a journalism class, posted some pics of the prettiest girls on campus at the Spring Mixer, and abandoned their blog before exams started. I even think it’s funny that we now have such a thing as ghostwriter’s, people who get paid by the spoiled rich kids to do their writing for them. Those are the students with zero social life and plenty of time on their hands and now write copy for Fox News or “Reality TV”. The Blog is taking the online world by storm, and is quickly becoming an internet fad, as more and more people start their own blog everyday on free sites like Blogger, Word Press, Thoughts, Weebly, Blog etc…

I Love Blogging

Blogging For Fun and Politics

After the tragedy of the attack on the World Trade Center in New York City,the most common blogs were the 9/11 blogs. There was so much emotion, anger and painful memories that writing a blog seemed the natural way to share ones horror of the possibility that we were attacked on our soil and the greif and despair of people that lost loved ones in the attack and as a way of honoring the brave police officers, fire fighters and all first responders that sacrificed something to help out a fellow human being. To this day some of those blogs, the heart felt emotion that comes out in black and white still makes me tear up when I read them. Those horrific events brought about another group of blogger, the “research’ blogger. Most of these took blogging to another level in their quest for facts. A few of those posts I seem to remember for the wrong reasons. For example ”

9/11 Research

I want to take a second to suggest that everyone take a second to think about 9/11. We all said we would never forget, stay true to that, keep an eye on what is being said about 9/11, what is happening because of it.

Take a moment every once and a while and go to google’s news site and search for 9/11

9/11 Research coming to a head

i started researching 9/11 around july 1st of this year.. as of today that makes almost 3 months of research i have put into 9/11.. at this point all of my research has led me to a beleif that most americans would write off in a heart beat, but anyone who does the research will reach the same opinion.. if you think im wrong, then take a moment and ask how much you really know about 9/11.

i beleive the bush administration intentionally allowed 9/11 to occur, and should be investigated by a truely independent 9/11 commission.

9/11 was a catalyst, much like pearl harbor, to bring america together to fight the war on terror. i know that what i say is inconceivable to the average american, but i beleive i can virtually prove it.”

I purposely left in the poor spelling, bad grammar and picture of a building fire in another country to make a point. Some people were just so angry and full of hate they would postANYTHING just to get people to be angry at somebody or something, whether it was the Bush Administration or anyone who didn’t look or think or act the way that they did. Examples of freedom of speech that our fore fathers never could of imagined.

Read the customer reviews on their website to see what advice current users are making, if any at all, and use these thoughts to your advantage.
