flipside: what do you love about blogs?

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Well it was great reading all the comments about what you don’t like about blogs! It wasn’t meant to be an attack or the rules of blogging, just personal preferences. That’s all. The comments were pretty interesting though so check them out if you’re curious to see what other bloggers think on the subject.

Since I was emailed a couple times asking to post about it, I think it would be good to talk the opposite now.

What do you love about blogs? What makes you add them to your reader or bookmark? What makes you come back for more?

Me:

  • good, quality writing
  • posts that make me think, that introduce me to new ideas, make me dig a little deeper or really question my own views and feelings
  • blogs that inspire me – to try something new, to keep working toward something or that just make me want to be a better me.
  • funny bloggers! I love to laugh and if you can make me laugh, you’re almost sure to go to my reader
  • blogs with great photography. I know some bloggers can’t post them being anonymous but I love getting that extra glimpse into someone’s life.
  • learning things. I love to find things that I can apply to my own life, whether it’s a recipe, new store or site to browse, design tips, etc
  • the blogging community in general. I’ve said many times before how great it is. I’ve never has such amazing conversations, emails, support – not even with some friends in real life!

Okay, your turn!
