Being my first real blog I have been considering why blogs fail, why people tend to start them and then drift off to obscurity. I believe there are 3 types of Bloggers out there in Internet Land:
Type 1. The Commentator, the person who blogs for themselves as a creative outlet. By far the most popular type of blogger and usually the longest lasting.
Type 2. The Absorbist, the person who just blogs for the attention. Commonly the one who stops blogging right after they figure out no one else wants to read what they have to say.
Type 3. The one who likes seeing what this button does. Typically the type of individual you would not find either trusted with launch codes or operating a missile silo.
The pattern for most blogs is a few large posts quite frequently (matches so far) then less, then shorter, then perhaps some one line posts to become the electronic trash equivalent of a parking voucher given to you by a Harri Krishna on the way to work.
With this in mind I thought I should draw up some ground rules:
1. The Blog will attempt to equal the mental stimuli of a sea sponge and not an ongoing social commentary on the economic effect of desalinisation environmental politics.
2. To quote Sam & Max - No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service... this of course means Pants are optional.
3. Originality is important. If you steal something quote the source.
4. No one line blogs. Just say no to one liners.
Apart from that the floor is yours comment as you like and I will attempt to remember to keep to the basics and offer you a blog more regular then a harry potter movie release and less than a bowel movement.
