Blogging more regularly has me thinking.
Asking questions like:
*why do I blog?
*why do I like to read blogs?
*what do I like to read?
*do I have something to offer readers?
*why do people come to my blog site?
*who do I want to read my blog? (believe it or not, i am not the best fit for all readers…shocking, i know!)
I think I know some of the answers to these questions. It is funny to really stop and think about the blogs I read and WHY I read them. Here is a quick-list of my everyday reading and the why:
1. http://thepioneerwoman.com/confessions/ – favorite blog of my day. I found her MANY years ago and was instantly hooked by her love story with Marlboro Man. I am now waiting for a hot cowboy to show up at my house.
I read her because: she is funny as all get out, awesome, short blogs with good pictures, i feel like i KNOW her….she also has a sweating problem and obsession with yoga pants.
2. mckmama.com - I started reading this one when her son was sick. I love praying for random sick people I meet on the internet. Been following ever since. Kinda gone cuckoo for cocopuffs at the moment – but at least she is honest.
3. http://michaelhyatt.com/ - Best leadership blog I read. Tons of helpful information. I bought shoes simply because he recommended them. It helps that I met him in person last week – even if I was not able to utter ONE intelligible word. geez – what is it with me and “blog celebrities” that make me forget how to carry on a conversation?
4. http://momastery.com/blog/ - straight up crazy town. LOVE it.
5. http://goinswriter.com/ I am a huge fan of Jeff. If you remember, I pimped out his new book last week here. I just think he is an incredible guy and has a heart to empower all of us.
6. http://www.kellehampton.com/ I love her attitude on life. And amazing outfits. I am desperate to know how she is always wearing lipstick. I barely remember pants, much less lipstick. Photographs are AMAZING.
Can we all do a little linky-linky? I would really love some new blogs to read. And I would love to know why you read them….why do we spend our time on this little computer peeping into other people’s lives?
Post your favorite blog. Pretty please. Little cherry on top.
