		<description>I update when I feel like I want to say something, and I don&#039;t care much about whether other people find it boring or not. Well, that&#039;s not EXACTLY true, because I love to be read and I love to get comments, but I won&#039;t force myself to blog if I feel like I have nothing to say. As much as I love my favorite bloggers, I think part of what keeps me coming back is that they blog when THEY have something to say.

I&#039;m not much of a &quot;rules&quot; person, anyway. I think we all work to make our blogs fit our needs and lives, not necessarily the other way around.</description>

		<description>Sheesh. 

1)I post whenever I feel like it. Sometimes MORE than once a  day. It doesn&#039;t seem to be hurting my traffic.

2) It is my blog. I&#039;ll post about whatever I want.

3) I surveyed my readers on this. They hate the &quot;read more&quot;, you can&#039;t read that stuff at work on bloglines.

4) If I had something of value to talk about I would do this as a job.

5) I never learned to photoshop. Craps.</description>

		<description>Citizen, you really need to work on expressing your true feelings.  I mean, we can&#039;t really tell where you stand.  :)

It&#039;s weird how sometimes it seems like dozens of posts are longing to be published (and I try to pace them out) and other times, nadda.</description>

		<description>it must be in the air, I&#039;ve had a major case of writer&#039;s block myself.  I think part of the problem is that I have this specific post I&#039;ve been trying to write... you know, about SOMETHING, and it&#039;s killing me!  Finally i threw my hands up and thought, well that&#039;s it then I won&#039;t write about THAT and immediately began blogging again.  So it goes to show that I can ONLY blog about nothing.  Gah!</description>

		<description>May I be blunt?  Fuck all that.  Seriously.  You blog what you want to.  I post every day or every other day because I feel like it.  Sometimes I tell what I had for lunch (as in my last post.) Hell, I often post photos of meals.  And I don&#039;t &lt;i&gt;want&lt;/i&gt; to do the &quot;click here to read more&quot; thing.  I want my post right there in one place.  And value?  &lt;i&gt;Value???&lt;/i&gt;  What is that?  I&#039;m not being paid to blog.  My readers are free to come and go as they please.  If my blog doesn&#039;t suit someone, I feel sure they will move along to other blogs that do.  That&#039;s fine. If you start crafting your blog around some absurd set of rules, when does it stop being authentically &lt;i&gt;your&lt;/i&gt; blog?</description>

		<description>I feel okay about writing about nothing.  It&#039;s when the pressure is on to write about Something that I choke.

Good points.  All good points.  I&#039;ll think on them.</description>

		<description>This idea of writing about &quot;nothing&quot; reminds me of a very popular TV series, &quot;Seinfeld.&quot;  When asked what his show is about, he says, &quot;Nothing. It&#039;s about nothing.&quot;  So, it just goes to show -- you never know who also may love to read about &quot;nothing!&quot;  I like what Jim wrote -- the main criteria for writing is for you, the writer, to be happy with your work.</description>

		<description>I blog when the spirit moves, when I feel I have something worthwhile to say. I do NOT blog to a) keep the beast fed; or b) out of a fear of losing readers. 

After the failure of my first blog, I&#039;ve learned that quality counts for more than quantity. That being said, I&#039;m damned if I&#039;m going to let anybody but me decide what quality is for me.

A good blog, in my opinion, is one you&#039;d like other people to read. But you&#039;re no less happy with what you&#039;ve written — or with the time you&#039;ve taken to write — if you happen to be your only reader.</description>

		<description>My tip of the day: Only blog when you feel like it. Sometimes I can go awhile without blogging, and you know, I&#039;m okay with that!</description>
