Blog Blows
August 21, 2008
I run a rather unsuccessful blog here on WordPress or Facebook. While the lack of popularity in my blog isn’t a big concern to me, I have pinpointed some of the rather obvious reasons as to why my blog sucks.
1. The Lack of Pictures – The key to the success of some blogs is the reliance of graphical images to either clarify or to enhance the words. Maybe some funny but nonsensical images would help as well.
2. The Lack of Depth – Most of my posts do not dig deep enough into the subject I am talking about. Its like telling a story and stopping it entirely halfway through.
3. Relative Unimportance – Writing about an important issue is rare for me. Though I may try this much more often, I feel that talking about current events is played out.
4. Vague References – I definitely picked this up from reading too much Pynchon. I will occasionally mention something that not many people understand and assume that it is alright.
5. Boring – I do not go on vacation or drug-induced trips very often, so its just me talking. So it is very boring if its just me talking.
I may try to incorporate some of these things in order to make the blog better. Most likely 1 and 2.
In other news, Garfield Minus Garfield is pretty funny IMO.
