This is the way we blog our posts…

Ok ok, my apologies because I was not going to break out into song. Rather, I am in an immensely good mood today because it's the weekend and I seem to be more creative these days. So creative that I'm going to attempt violating copyright. Well, at least, do a lil plagiary. And hey, it's all in the name of good ole' fun.
And mind you, only I'm allowed to do this, yeah, other people just have to sit back and shake your heads in horror. After all, I do believe that I am a good observer and have a knack for putting things into words. Now dearies, I'm not boasting here because I'm so good at it that I'm paid to do this for a living and also to tell off people because I believe that they can't do things as well as I do. So what I did was surf around the blogs, and I found out about the wonderful ways that you have all blogged, and in the (exalted) name of blogging-spirit, I have aspired to list them down in ten easy varieties. Plus examples, etc.
1) I've seen black, and I love black. I go around the blogosphere and I love the colours that you all choose. I myself have used black before in my layout-crazy days. Don't believe? Here you go. By the way, you can click and the original design will appear in a new page.
2) Length, length, length. It's so fun to be able to read and read and read. I don't know about you but I'm all for content. And it comes from a good deal of thought, and being able to talk and talk and talk (I mean, blog and blog and blog) is not an easy skill to cultivate!
3) Digression? Well. Look no further. Yours truly and her blog. Many topics in one post. You come or not. Yes you do. Yes you do. So many others. Still so fun to read. Life is all about diversions. Now why can't we digress? I digress and move on to the next…
4) Hiatuses? I understand you have a life. Please go ahead and live it well. Come back later. But if you choose to disappear and concentrate on real life, I understand too. But I'll miss you. Because I read you and I know you are good and I know you deserve the best that you choose for yourself.
5) Seek attention? Someone once said that blogging is fun because you get to think of ways to attract traffic. Not that I agree with this at all. Hmm, ok so some topics are really attention seeking, but hey, at least they do try. Sad or not sad, some people just want attention, so if they opt to have an attention seeking topic every day to attract hits, then so be it loh… it's the colours of the blogosphere mah…
6) Themed blogs. Gawd I love these. I can't ever go into this line. Jeff talks about the news every day and he can really stick to it. And development blogs are a must to visit, places like BloggingPro make up my daily bread. Without the business blogs and the IT blogs, where will all of us go to for real-time, real-life news?
7) Some people underestimate their blog. Well, I don't blame them. You see, not everything is going to be stumbled upon. That's why there are so many unknowns in the blogosphere, trying to 'climb their way up', and this … intention of 'climbing up ladders', for the love of God, I have no idea why it exists. But never mind, time is a wonderful thing, momentum gathers as you plod along. Besides, I truly believe that someone is bound to stumble upon this. Hence, I am writing, with enthusiasm.
Oooh Extreme characteristics are such dearies to read. It shows that the blogger has character. And THAT is just so worth plugging, IMHO.
9) Boring titles or attention seeking titles? Hey, gee, I can't figure out which to choose. My opinion? Don't give a damn. Just write what you will. And don't blog for an audience because….
10) Whoever disagrees that he is blogging for himself is the most ultra-hypocrite I've ever met. If you don't blog for yourself then you blog for who? Me? I'm not so clever. Your mummy? I think you'd rather die than let her find your blog. At the very core of it, you are blogging for no one but yourself. I blog for myself what. Otherwise why the heck am I still here and why the heck did I register for this domain?
These are the ten simple varieties that I've observed on the blogosphere. Some people may not agree, but I'm sure the truly creative ones and those who're all for the BLOGGING SPIRIT will .
