SharkBait Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I am just curious who out there runs a blog or contributes to a blog. I have a blog and love reading other people's blogs. It's also a good way to network too. If you own a blog you can win a Samsung Bluetooth Headset too.. details on the link in my signature Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/102795-do-you-blog/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I have one, but I rarely write. I try to only write things that haven't been covered, so I don't have a whole lot of stories.

947740 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I do not see the point in having a blog. If I want someone to know something about me, I will tell them. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/102795-do-you-blog/#findComment-530422 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zq29 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I do not see the point in having a blog. If I want someone to know something about me, I will tell them. It doesn't have to contain specifics about yourself - It could be used for writing articles on specific topics, or posting solutions for obscure problems that can't be found elsewhere, y'know, useful information to share with like-minded people you don't know...

Daniel0 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I do not see the point in having a blog. If I want someone to know something about me, I will tell them. Well, that's what you can use a blog for. A blog is essentially a medium through which you can express yourself or publish things. An example could be Smashing Magazine whose aim is to "[deliver] useful and innovative information for designers and web-developers" and "inform [their] readers about the latest trends and techniques in web-development" (source). In the time of writing 69598 subscribers to their RSS feed, so surely at least a couple of people find that there is a point in that particular website. To answer the question of the poll, no, I do not maintain a blog nor have I ever done so.

947740 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I just figure if it is that important that everyone must know, I will just tell them through some other means of communication. It makes sense if you are a business, or something like that, but I do not think it makes sense for personal use.

448191 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I try to blog. And yes, I do try to ascend "this is my cat fluffy"-type posts, creating relatively unique content. The biggest problem is finding the time, especially if you are covering more complicated subjects. People have work, and sometimes even, dare I say, private lives.
