Comment Allez-Vous?

by Jennifer Brown on September 23, 2010

Today’s post comes from our beloved Nonamedufus. I know that means “How are you?” in English, or in recent vernacular “Wassup?” But a literal translation might be more along the lines of “Are you going to comment?” Why do I raise this? Well, follow along. Bloggers, in particular humourbloggers, are a unique bunch. They love to let their [...]

The Hazards of Blogging

by Jennifer Brown on September 20, 2010

Today’s post comes from our very own Lee at Tarheel Ramblings. Something I never took into consideration when I started blogging was how much risk was involved. I’m not necessarily talking about personal physical risk – but that’s a consideration if you use you real name – but emotional risk. After all, when you state [...]

What Is Tribal Blogs?

Tribal Blogs is a place you can go to meet other bloggers and network with them. Tribal Blogs is not a place where you can go to dump on people who ask for suggestions.

If not, you should. When I first started blogging I didn’t have any readers. Occasionally someone would happen by but for the first several months no one knew about my blog because I didn’t know anything about promoting my blog. It was a good year or more before I had a healthy readership. Which means [...]

Yesterday I wrote an article on my personal blog titled I Hate Comment Auto Responders, it was a tongue in cheek piece about the new trend in using auto responders to thank your commenters for leaving a comment.

The Mind of Spaz is one of those blogs that can’t really be categorized, nicheless in other words. If pressed it is a humor blog, and a damn funny one, but it can’t be categorized. A little redundant? I know, I’m still having trouble writing. Sue me. Back to Spaz. Spaz talks about anything and [...]

Image by the Italian voice via Flickr I love the list post. When there is nothing else to write about (I have a serious case of writer’s block these days) you can always pull a rabbit out of your hat, or at least a list of things you can write about. So let’s jump right [...]
