A Blog Is A Blog, of course, of course

Posted by Walt Published in Access Romance, Net Happenings

A quick operational note to nobody in particular:

According to me, a My Space page is not what I consider a blog. A Facebook page is not what I consider a blog.

Those are places to meet up with friends, and say what you want back and forth with those friends. Many times, someone who is NOT a part of that community of friends can’t see what you’ve written, unless they’ve joined in that network.

I maintain a couple of lists of blogs, and I’m tired of testing those links only to find out it’s in a network that doesn’t allow me to read it.

So, if you’re submitting your blog to one of the lists that I help maintain, and it’s a MySpace blog, forget it. Your submission will be deleted on the spot. There are several good locations to keep a public blog. Blogger.com and Wordpress.com both offer free blog spaces. If you maintain a MySpace page, it doesn’t take but a few seconds to copy your new blog posts over to a free blog, thus maintaining two blogs.

If you’re too lazy to do that, stick to MySpace.

I’ve been reading your blog for a while and thought I might give a shout out for a blog that I just recently started. It is an actual blog…not something on myspace. I’ll basically be reviewing romance books. Please feel free to drop in sometime. Its at capitalromance.wordpress.com.

Thanks,

Jessica

I have a wordpress blog that I haven’t really had time to move blogs over to, or really blog on at all. but I plan to!

I really like the optional layout, very neat-o. Jealous.

As you can discover by checking out our “about” page, I also maintain a separate blog, (over on Blogger) where I talk about Spider-Man, comicbooks, and, well, Spider-Man.

You can find a link for it over on the right (don’t let the “untitled” line fool you, I post several times a week, but there is no option for a separate header on each post, so if you hover your mouse over the link, you’ll see the first few words of each post).

yeah, Perfessor, the link to the RSS is right over there in the sidebar. I’ve yet to figure out how each of your posts is UNTITLED when they indeed have a title. “Mystery Meat” linkage is never going to get clickified on.
