You don't launch a popular blog, you build one. The writing isn't the hard part, it's the commitment.
I think a lot of journal articles should really be blogs.
I'm not going to sit around an pretend I'm not thinking things on my blog when I am thinking them and when I'm open to rebuttal.
Some people with blogs are never going to get famous, and they've been doing it for, like, over a year. I feel bad for them.
Nowadays I imagine people find freer and more accepting venues in blogs, on Tumblr and Instagram and Facebook, in the riot of shouting that trails in the wake of every news story. So there's always the pandemonium of the Internet, if you need to get your lunatic opinions out in public. I find most of that stuff a little insane-making and my preference is to encounter personal essays in the relatively sedate and stable universe of print, in literary quarterlies, magazines and books. But I'm sure you can find plenty of good stuff in lonely outposts all across the World Wide Web.
I have a blog in Chinese, which you can follow, Chinese signs. But I don't even update at all, often I don't.
I think we know too much about actors as it is and their personal lives and it's this information age where we're stimulated constantly by the celebrity buzz effect or whatever it is, these web sites and blogs and different things.
I had a book come out several years ago, when there were no blogs. This is a mark to me about how the environment has changed.
I don't read blogs, I don't have MySpace, I don't have Facebook or Twitter - none of that.
I read my web blogs, my tech blogs, it's highly educational, folks.
It's so hard, because everyone's got a camera-phone, and everyone wants to get their picture on the blogs. So they'll send anything that they have to the blogs. So you don't really get any privacy.
For every child of an illegal immigrant who's a valedictorian, there's another 100 out there who weigh 130 pounds and they've got calves the size of cantaloupes because they're hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert (http:takingnote. blogs. nytimes. com20130812steve-king-still-stands-by-cantaloupe-comments?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0).
My most popular blogs end up being the ones where I talk about being a dad.
I can put up a blog in 10 seconds.
I have a day job Monday to Friday. I work at a record label in Brooklyn called Ba Da Bing. It's a great indie label and I listen to music all day. I meet people online and find out about the cool new music blogs.
I blog; therefore, I am.
I study harder now than I ever did in college or high school. There's just so much pressure to know what's going on, and I feel like, especially with social media, there's always new information coming out on the teams, the players, the coaches, and the games. You can never be fully read enough, and I'm just constantly reading articles, watching games, and trying to read blogs.
While I love the medium, I've always been skeptical about the value of blogs as businesses.
A newspaper is the center of a community, it's one of the tent poles of the community, and that's not going to be replaced by Web sites and blogs.
