I’ve been visiting the wikiHow site for some time. Aside from the silly posts, there are some valuable ones, too. However, none were really worth mentioning here until I stumbled upon this one today on How to Dissuade Yourself from Becoming a Blogger, which may be of some assistance if you are considering jumping on board the web log train.
Find five completely random blogs, and read them daily for a month. After thirty days, you will absolutely dread your self-imposed requirement to read all that dreck. Any blog you create will most likely be on par with what you’ve been reading. Don’t put anyone through that.
Hard to argue that one, huh?
Write on a regular basis in Wordpad instead. If that doesn’t satisfy your urge, and you feel that you must post your blog online, then you might just be craving attention and validation–which you’ll never truly find in a blog. If you give up on your Wordpad journal after about three days, you’ll do the same with a blog. That just takes up server space.
Man, bloggers are such losers.
