World's Worst Blogger?

I have to wonder sometimes if I'm not the world's worst blogger. I'm probably not...there are so many blogs out there that I'm likely to be more like "average" or something, but I've read some books on blogging (or started to read them, since I love to get all excited about a book, obtain that book, start reading it and then set it aside for an unknown period of time that could end up being forever) that say things like: you should blog about only one subject.

Not only do I blog about unrelated topics, There, IMVU (you can't really say those two are unrelated, but you could say that the number of people interested in posts about BOTH places is severely limited), Yelp, Cancerous Cats, Misc (a category I could probably rename "things that could be of interest to my mother, because she can read them aloud over the phone to my grandmother" but that's a little long for a tag) but I am not even that good about tagging my posts in the first place.

So I have to wonder...is my blog actually of value to anyone besides myself? I do stumble onto blogs sometimes that I find interesting and that give me hope. One I recently took an interest in is about one person's life and foodie experiences in Paso Robles, CA, which also included a bunch of stuff about her struggles with yoga. Now I admit, I am MORE interested in the foodie experiences and winery stuff, especially in Paso Robles, but I do find the yoga stuff interesting as well and even enjoy reading little bits about her life. And why not? It's much more interesting to learn about a person so you can better relate their experiences to your own and better interpret the things they say that brought you to their blog in the first place.

Maybe to learn what makes a good blog, I need to spend more time reading blogs and less time reading books about what someone else thinks makes a good blog. Probably the number one thing is just posting to it regularly. November is a good month to do that, too, because it's NaBloPoMo.

If you actually enjoy reading my blog, or even if you think it sucks, feel free to leave me a comment. I love just knowing someone is out there. I try not to be annoyed when people email me or talk to me in person and indicate they were reading my blog, but I can't help thinking "if you had something to say about it, why didn't you...you know...share with the rest of the class?"
