Blogs are for anoraks who couldn’t get published any other way.
Juno: Honest to blog?
I created the Huffington Post in the United States of America which is a left of center blog. I created my blogs which are mostly right of center and I believe in open debate in our society.
You've got pressure making any film, frankly. Whenever you're doing something in the public eye you have to silence it really, you can't read the blogs and take them at face value, you just have to say, 'I'm lucky enough to be in this position, to do this job'.
One of the liberating things about having a blog is the total vision it allows.
I like to be challenged with language, so I start to do texts for my blogs that people can download, can spread. There is no commercial interest behind it. It's only for fun, like doing something that you really enjoy to do. I have texts that I write specifically for the internet and I put them there. I am interested in how readers also respond to the texts that I write to them.
A daily blog would just about finish me off completely.
Creating your own blog is about as easy as creating your own urine, and you're about as likely to find someone else interested in it.
Tumblr was simply a tool for anyone to make a blog like mine.
When you talk about avant-garde cuisine, the surprise factor is really important. For example, I love looking at blogs and the photos, but I'm not that keen on other people taking photos of my dishes.
Science blogs bore me. When everyone is an expert, no one is an expert.
While I love the medium, I've always been skeptical about the value of blogs as businesses.
I blog; therefore, I am.
I have an RSS reader, Feeddler. I mostly subscribe to board game blogs - they have reviews of new games and discussions about trends. It's straight-up dork talk.
I don't have a particular go-to political blog.
I live in a world where there's magazines and blogs, and people feel like they are allowed to criticize me, and in the meanest way.
I try not to read blogs. The comments are extremely harsh.
Successful blog is a unique voice; and depending on the blog, your own style factors in. To some extent, it might have to do with the graphic aesthetics of a blog. Pretty pictures go a long way these days and many personal style blogs owe a lot to a decent DSLR.
Use your blog to connect. Use it as you. Don’t ‘network’ or ‘promote. ’ Just talk.
I have an odd fetish with nails. I was always doing beauty blogs about nails, and it would be on Fridays called Fridays Fingertip Fetish. It became so popular that a nail polish company approached me, and Fingertip Fetish was born.
