So a friend directed me to read this blog, Dooce, and I went, albeit reluctantly. I've read other blogs by people who post daily or near-daily entries about their lives. I usually wind up thinking, "Who cares?" Then I remember I am one of those bloggers.
Ouch.
Now I am wondering what kinds of things people actually like to read when they visit blogs. As a reporter, I am used to reader survey information that tells us what readers want from their newspaper. But I've never actually approached blogging from that standpoint. Perhaps it's time I did.
Here are a few questions I encourage you to answer, if for no other reason than to help direct the future of The Script.
- What do you like to read?
- Which posts on The Script have been your favorites? Which ones did you like the least?
- Should there be more pictures and videos?
- If you could change anything about this blog, what would it be? Feel free to list all of your ideas.
In the meantime, I have added Dooce and the author's husband's blog, blurbomat, to my links on the right. Check them out and let me know what you think.
Oh, and GO TIGERS!

Sorry I'm tardy in my response. :)
Here's what I think, for whatever it's worth. I used to really worry about whether or not people liked what I was writing, and if it was good enough and all that. Then after about a year, I just decided to let go of all that and stop caring. I do it for me, not for anyone else. I write about what I want, when I want. Maybe it's four times a day, maybe it's once a week. But I do it because I like it, and that's it. I don't think my blog is the coolest, or funniest, or smartest, or the anything-est. I have no doubt people get sick of reading about knitting and my cats. But it's mine and I like it!!
I don't know if that helps you or not, but I hope so. And I agree with your fam - I like all your posts. :)
