One Girl's Opinion

Category: Opinions

I've refrained from discussing the latest craze to hit the blogging community [i.e., BlogExplosion] for a very good reason . . . everyone else is already talking about it.

And, while I'm on the subject -- first, let me preface this by saying that this is not a slam of other bloggers -- truly it isn't! -- but, I find it rather strange that, when surfing through B.E., a lot of bloggers are blogging about the exact same things (and I'm not talking about specific types of blogs, either - like "mommy" blogs, or "political" blogs, and so on).     I would like to think that people can generate a little more creativity and individuality in their writing, but the facts speak otherwise.

That's not to say that I don't -- on occasion -- write about topics that are in-the-news, or "borrow" something from other bloggers (see here and here for prime examples of my "borrowing") but, for the most part, I would like to think that my entries are an expression of my unique individuality, and not something that you'll find in some shape, form or fashion in a dozen other places.

With that said, I would also like to say that I've read some really terrific new blogs while surfing on B.E.     In fact, through my recent surfings, I have blogmarked forty-five blogs that I now visit (whether or not my B.E. surfing takes me to those particular pages).     There are some interesting, funny and talented people who are blogging out there . . . and I'm glad I've found an avenue to discover them.

Yet, I also think there are others that actively register and promote their blogs with cries of "Look at ME!, Look at ME!," yet have nothing to say of any relevance to anyone outside their close circle of friends, school-mates or families.     If you're going to, as they say, put-yourself-out-there for the world to see, make the visit worth the visitor's while.

Of course, these are simply my humble opinions, filed in the for-what-it's-worth department.     You can take it, leave it, or simply ignore it . . . that's the thing about blogging, after all, isn't it?!?!?

♪ I am

Susan Reno-Gilliland, known as "Miss Kitty," an Irish lass, a true Southern Belle; a writer, photographer, animal-lover, dreamer, stargazer, totally tangled (or is that entangled?) in relationships, slightly obsessive iNFp with stories to tell! . . . (fascinated by forensics, human behavior, pushing all the right buttons of men I find interesting, and seeking utterly-sweet revenge without any repercussions.) I am a Friday's Child. Friday's Child is loving & giving.
