My Blog Sucks

... Well, at least Matt Wood says so.
A few weeks ago, my partner QBlog wrote about blogging Rule #1: Don't Suck. Sage advice indeed, but the truth is no matter how hard you try, your blog will suck. It will be unbelievably, mind-numbingly bad. You won't post often enough to keep people coming back, and you'll be mad at yourself. You won't get any comments, and you'll feel like a loser. Then you'll abandon your blog, and the internet will be littered with yet another carcass with six meaningless posts, four of which are apologies for not posting often enough. There are 12,000 new weblogs created every day, and 11,999 of them suck, including yours. So don't even try. Do the internet a favor, and don't clog it up with your "ramblings," "musings," or "random thoughts" in a blog. There are better places for it.
Man, that's pretty unencouraging. I do get the occasional comment from my friends though. As for attracting strangers from across the world wide web to gape in awe at my cognitive brilliance shining through my flowing prose, well I never really expected that. If I wanted to attract people to my site, I could have just come up with something really and unambiguously weird instead. If I wanted to show up on the radar of the blogosphere, it wouldn't be that hard, I would just have to rant about liberals. Loudly.

Anyhoo, I'll go back to my regular posting style - I just thought I'd just share the fact that I suck. :)

Well, as long as your blog serves *some* purpose. I always assumed you just wanted to keep in touch with friends now that you've moved away.

I love that Crying when Eating site!
