| I was wondering, but what sort of thing is sutible for talking about in blogs? I don't use the blog I have here, as I have no idea what to write about. I'd do it daily like a journal, but I such a bad memory and I'd forget half the things I did. I was going to make one about me, but I decided that it was boring and pointless for a blog. |

Blog is synonymous with both boring and pointless. So just don't write about anything interesting.  |

Do you have any interests? (Aka obsessions)
If so write about that and see where it leads. You may be surprised how people appreciate it. |

Hahaha
(in addition, be careful not to give away too much personal information in a blog)
Here are some posts/blogs about Final Fantasy: http://search.blogger.com/?ui=blg&q=final+fantasy

Blogs are for writing about whatever you want to write about. My own blog consists of movie reviews, book reviews, comments on things I've seen on TV, comments on world events and things in the news... very little about me personally. Topics in the last two weeks of my blog posts include
- Review of the movie Ghost Rider
- Review of the book The Plot Against America (by Philip Roth)
- Review of the movie The Chronicles of Narnia
- A rant about why I hate Valentine's Day
- Opinion piece about why I think Deckard (Blade Runner) was not a Replicant
- Comment about morning radio in Edmonton
- Review of the movie Devil Girl From Mars
- Comment about some TV commercials that I wonder about
- Comment about Anna Nicole Smith' death
- A humour piece, "60 Things I Am Not Allowed To Do At Work"
http://xenonsworld.blog.ca/ for anyone who is interested.

I think of my blog as my own personal thread.

I usually post a cigar of the month on myspace. I also used it for voting on my redbull flugtag Idea.

I mostly talk about my interests in my blog or what I did that day. It's fulfilling to me to write about my interests and sometimes I feel I get a little carried away. Wanna know what my obsessions are? Just read my blog. It's in my sig.

I don't do one every day, but I post things that are pertinent to me, or that I am thinking about that day. Mainly, I use mine for a soapbox, since I can vent steam there and no one can stop me (hehe). I also use it if I am feeling blue or I think of something interesting that I want to document. I keep my main blog on MySpace, you can find the link in my profile.
I had thought about posting a list a day on my blog, but I haven't started that yet.

| I might check out some of your blogs tommorow, it's too late now. I might get started on a blog in the morning, when I get up as I'd be full of ideas then. |

| I have always posted about my theories and ideas in blogs, oddly, as well as using them as emotional outlets since I am useless at expressing my emotions in the usual way. I always seem to go off on tangents in my blog. I will start writing one thing, then end up completely going off track and forgetting what I was originally going to write! |

| anything you want to. unlike the forums, you control everything about your blog (you can delete other peoples comments, etc) since your blog is *your* space to say things that other people may or may not want to read... moderators don't have the ability to modify/delete your blog either... |
