for the would-be blogger

| a who’s anyone has a blog.
Google statistics, comment notifications,
anti-spam measures: these are the topics
at the popular table. Do you want to
start a blog so that you too may become
famous, or rich, or popular? There are
two options available to you. Option A
is to go back in time to 1996 and start
a blog then. If your local WalMart is
out of flux capacitors, you might want
to try Option B: create a blog of such

incredible quality that it will rise, like
our fishy ancestors, out of the sea of crap
called The Blogosphere.

The first thing any blog needs is
content. This may sound obvious, but if
your blog isn’t updated regularly, even
people who enjoy it will eventually stop
checking back to see if anything new
has been written. Develop a consistent
schedule for your blog and stick to it. If
you miss one of your personal deadlines,
don’t post a lame apology—just suck it

 

 

 

up and get back on schedule.

The second thing a good blog needs
is an original angle. Maybe your life is
extremely interesting. Maybe you are
Shreve Stockton of The Daily Coyote
(dailycoyote.blogspot.com) and you live
in a one-room log cabin in Wyoming
where you are raising an orphaned
coyote pup. If this is the case, your life
is a great blog and all you have to do is
write it down. Go for it! Chances are,
however, that you’re a Douglas College

student and that your life consists of
writing notes, bus rides, shift work,
and more bus rides. If that’s so, you’re
going to have to work harder to make
your blog content original. In this case,
it’s all about the angle you have. Take
on a new persona, be creative, and
have fun. One of my favourite blogs is
entirely fictional and likely written by a
totally over-educated student type. It’s
called Geoffrey Chaucer Hath A Blog
(houseoffame.blogspot.com) and _ it’s
premise is this: Geoffrey Chaucer is
living in the world right now, blogging
about his experiences. The blog is
written in a funny version of faux-middle
english and deals with news and internet
fads with a hilariously tongue-in-cheek
medieval perspective. Geeky, sure, but
original! It gets the pageviews and sells
lots of t-shirts. Always remember that
on the internet, no audience is too small.
Even if you want to create a blog that
will only appeal to people who write Star
Trek fanfiction where all the character
are animals, the world is a big place, and
you'll still have an audience. Just don’t
think about that too long or you'll get
creeped out.

Now that you have your blog, your
content, and your angle, all you need to
do is to make sure that people can read
it. Comment on other blogs, have a blog-
roll of links to your favourite blogs or
blogs with a similar content as yours,
and link to posts by other bloggers that
you think are particularly good or relate
to your site in some way. Good luck, and

happy blogging.
