I haven’t been blogging much lately because either I have nothing to say or I don’t believe what I have to say is interesting, but I HAVE been blog surfing. The result of my journey around the vastness of BlogLand is that I now am convinced that my blog sucks.
That statement of fact and the pity party (of which I am the Martha Stewart at throwing pity parties) that followed is over now. Let’s move on to the point of the post.
When you are surfing, approximately what percent of the blogs that you are reading do you actually spend the time looking beyond the top couple of posts? I tried something different last night and for every single blog I visited, I immediately went to the archives and read posts from the months before. Then, if they intrigued me, I went back to the beginning, more recent posts. I have no idea what this accomplished, but it was fun. I felt like there was some continuity and I really got to know what this blogger’s blog was about. Again, I surfed away from these blogs saying, “Damn, I am jealous!”
Do you spend any time reading below the fold?
