Aphilotus! Aphilotus! is all about Pittsburgh’s strange street design.

Man and Bits of Paper is all about cleaning and organizing.

I currently write book and comic book reviews for several websites. I’m hoping to post them on my own blog if I can just stop procrastinating…

Sounds like: language, linguistics, Spanish, French, geography, English, grammar, health, internet, Mac OS X, Mac OS, reading, language, love, Russia, middle east, linguistics, culture, literature, college, advice, biology, death, philosophy, marriage, relationships, sex, sexuality, television – are what you’re into. Write about the things you love (this will keep you writing). People who love the same stuff will find you. It’s how the internet works these days.

@mark, Oh I do (I have several language blogs), but sometimes reading other’s ideas sparks your own thoughts

mark's avatar

@hug_of_war My bad. Would love to read them. Links?

I take the things I write here that I like the best and put them on a blog. There’s a link, I think, from my profile. Last I checked, one person had visited my blog. I’m not very good at it, I think.

I have two blogs, one is a semi-anonymous personal blog where I write about navigating my quarter-life crisis and daily life stuff. My other blog is a place where I write about topics ranging from music, politics, an occasionally personal (but not too personal) stuff about me, my thoughts and opinions on things.

I would also like start a design blog, but meh, I’m involved in too many online things so I’m going to give it a rest until I find time and motivation to start one.

I write about things I’m passionate about or topics I don’t really know anything about so I can force myself to learn them well enough to be able to explain them to someone else.

Sadly I don’t write enough (or publish enough—I think I have several dozen drafts lying around). Honestly though the most important thing for me is that I’m writing for myself. I use writing to think and to explore.

I used to blog a lot about all types of stuff. I haven’t had much inspiration to blog much anymore. Many because I can’t find things that trigger that need to write. I have been thinking about re-posting some on a real blogging site, since my beautiful works of thought went noticed on myspace.

My life in Antarctica . Basically, it is a travel blog with some science thrown in.

When I write blogs, I usually express my feeling and emotions. Blogging is a way for writing about anything. They are also events that I’ve been to and events that have happened to me. (:

Saturated_Brain's avatar

Anything really. Inspiration should come from your own life. For me, blogging is an outlet for my thoughts, imagination and feelings. It’s an interesting concept, really, because while you’re writing about your thoughts, you also gotta keep in mind that an audience is going to read what you write, so it’s a mix between a diary and a report. Of course that’s unless you keep your blog totally secret (I have one like that for my deepest and most secret thoughts and emotions).

Tink's avatar

Whatever comes to my mind, pictures I see, and things that happen to me.

I write about a lot of stuff. From general nonsense to psuedo-science stuff, to artificial intelligence to reviews of different snack foods. Feel free to check it out. If you do, also feel free to leave comments.

When I was going through a rough patch, I was writing mostly rants.

I write about things that are going on in my life, so my friends can keep in touch, if they want to.

I also participated in 50books three times, which is fun and motivates me to write book reviews.

More recently, I’ve been blogging about food (new recipes, websites), lists (for my birthday, I blogged a handful of lists about various things from fanfic to hot guys), and knitting. (The knitting blogging would be better if I had a digital camera.)

I prefer to read blogs with pictures and a purpose, unless it’s Neil Gaiman’s blog, in which case I forgive him pretty much everything.

Writing a blog, I feel, is like starting your own business: you don’t need to take over the market, just find your own little niche in it.

Please don’t turn into this.

wildpotato's avatar

@evegrimm Gaiman has a blog? Sweet! Might I trouble you for a link?

evegrimm's avatar

I feel like I’m getting off way too easy with this:

http://journal.neilgaiman.com/

(srsly)

I subscribe using Vienna (RSS reader), but his webgoblins also x-post to LJ as well.

Have fun!

that’s not a plug for Vienna, except that Vienna is awesome.

I write about whatever is on my mind. Lately that’s been health care reform, but I’ve also written about a kooky aunt and a Fluther friend. I’m taking a break from the blog at the moment, but you can find it at augustthoughts.tumblr.com.

juicebox07's avatar

I write whatever I feel like. I write about my relationship troubles, sex, health, things I bought while shopping, movie reviews, etc.

tiffyandthewall's avatar

meh, i only have a tumblr. and i basically just spam pictures of anything that i like. and then sometimes i ramble on about something. but i suppose it doesn’t really count as a blog.
i’ve been thinking about getting a blogspot but i don’t think i’d use it. i can’t even count how many livejournals i’ve had/not used.

IBERnineD's avatar

I have two blogs, one where I post my stick figures and the other I post random things and stuff about my e-marriage lol

augustlan's avatar

@IBERnineD And your e-marriage is very entertaining!

IBERnineD's avatar

@augustlan Haha I agree, it’s quite entertaining to me as well! I just wish my e-hubby would come back I miss him :(

phoenyx's avatar

My blog: http://phoenyxblog.tumblr.com/

It’s about random stuff that catches my fancy.

ShanEnri's avatar

I generally post pictures that I get off the web or pictures I take!

Velvetinenut's avatar

I wrote about my gardening experiences, shared gardening hints, babbled about recycling, shared my Hospital Happenings (double major surgery, I truly regretted not bringing the camera into the operating theatre with the surgeons permission).

I refused to blog about food… so far so good…

Zuma's avatar

I have three blogs:

Zuma’s Commentary on Justice
Zuma’s Commentary on Religion
and Zuma’s Prison Diary

They are reworkings of essays I have started here and there on the web that I hope to eventually pull together into books.
