I’m just messing with you, Wogan, but I never thought I’d get involved in one of these cheesy blog chain letter. Oh well, here my first, and hopefully last ever “meme” post:
The rules - According to Wogan May’s Post:
So - the word is “Blego”, and here are all the definitions thus far:
Blego (evilwoobie.com’s definition) - n. an acronym of “blog ego”, which pertains to a blogger’s sense of self in the blogosphere.
Blego (Darkside-Dreamland.com’s definition) - n. a protologism combining blog and ego. Used to define the ego of a blog or blogger. Like personal ego, blego may be good or bad.
Blego (benbarden.com’s definition) - n. a toy for children to build with but with a B in front.
BLEGO (WoganMay.com’s definition) - abbr. Breaking Little Enterprises - Godzilla Organisations.
Blego (Blogosis.com’s definition) - n. An Eggo waffle and a blog mixed together. I don’t know what this would look like, but maybe I can come up with a prototype.
5 questions - and their answers:
1. Do you know what your blog is really about, and you can write a one-sentence promotional material for it in a flash? If yes, write it here.
Blogosis: The Process of a Blog
2. Do you join social networks to promote your blog? If yes, do you hope to find friends in these social networks and in the process get regular readers of your blog?
I don’t actively participate in social media, but I put RSS feed updates on my Facebook profile. I keep links for my websites on my Myspace and Hi-5 profiles. I don’t think anyone I’ve ‘met’ using these networks has become a subscriber, but some of my closer friends don’t know I have websites until they see the links. They get astounded when they hear the money I can make doing it.
3. Do you or do you plan to join ranking sites that put your blog in competition with others for popularity? If yes, do you or do you plan to monitor your stats regularly?
I don’t think I would mind if it were fairly based off the content and not the popularity. Unfortunately, we know that wouldn’t be the case anytime. I will if someone challenges me, though. I probably won’t bring it up myself unless I can take a swing at Chow or something.
4. Do you tweak your blog often in accordance with the tips you get from blogging guides and gurus? If yes, list the bloggers you visit often to obtain these tips.
I’ll take it as I get it. I use most advice from my subscribers because my blog is for them, not me. I’ll listen to ProBlogger, but others like Chow and Shoe are junk when it comes to blogging. The variety of the guest posts and Darren’s own words makes for a nice spice.
5. Do you think of your next post even if you have just written a new one? If yes, list your inspirations for posting, and/or some routines that you go through before posting.
Of course. If you aren’t planning future posts, you will never succeed as a blogger. People who read my blog know I get inspiration from my posts from everything. There is Cloverfield, the Olympics, Bunnies, and my stupidities that I experience throughout my life that get me to write.
Who I want to see follow this meme:
However, do I expect any of you to waste your time on this crap? No, but it is a good way to introduce yourself if you are a new blogger. I don’t know. I had to give the post I was going to post to a friend I promised a guest post to (Bruce Cat. Excellent blog and the guy has got some excellent ideas for affiliate marketing. He’s Asian which gives him +10 rep points from me. Haha) Anyways, get on this meme. (If you want to.)
Oh man Justin, do i have to write this? I will try to do it soon -_-
Yeah yeah. Whatever. It’s not like I liked you in the first place
Kidding. Thanks for responding nonetheless - it’s interesting to see the behind-the scenes stuff sometimes
