The Art of Blogging

Hmm….How should I start? I’ll start by saying that I am extremely, utterly and miserably bored for the past few days…..

So I’ve started browsing through all the often talked about blogs that have been mentioned in the newspapers.

It seems that these bloggers have and probably enjoying their new found fame. Hundreds of people visit their blog each day and leave a huge amount of comments varying from “I hate you comments” to “I enjoy reading your blogs” blar blar.

Somehow I feel that blogging has somehow become a fashion statement of the e-world. We write down our daily happenings, our thots, our sorrows, some fancy pictures, fancy html code, fancy fonts, colours etc. But the truth is…is this really all you? Or is it merely a mask that you put up while enjoying the fame and exposure?

I always have a knack(not sure if its good or bad) for coming up with such out of the box wateva blar blar theories, questions etc….That’s cos I’m really a problematic girl who thinks too much! Bleh!

So….let’s see, how real can we get or be in the blogging world? Does posting up pictures, comments, putting up our thoughts in flowery English make us as real as we can get? Somehow I feel that the blog world is so very different from the real world. Can you really get to know someone so honestly just by reading his/her blogs everyday? Where did all the clique of meeting up for a coffee go to? Did technology erode such habits with the introduction of online chats and online blogs. Are thoughts really beta conveyed at our comfort zone in front of the PC at home?

Words can sometimes make a lot of difference to someone, but can words truly depict your innermost self such as honesty and sincerity etc?

So what is the art of blogging? To get the most hits? To have people reference your blog URL? To be the most searched for blog in Google? To be published in papers? Or worse, to be band by Government agencies? Ha ha…I prob failed in all above for my blog…but hell..who cares!

Ultimately we all know where this leads to….. Popularity- The fight to it!

It’s just me….*shrugs*
