Monday Monday

Dear King of the Bloggers:
I am posting to you today to ask for advice. I have a good close friend and relative who is albeit a novice at blogging, and as such she has not posted very much and posts infrequently. I want to tell her she needs to post more often and on a regular schedule---even if their posts are short and frivolous. So your highness, do you have any advice on how to tell my close friend and relative this without offending them and hurting their feelings?

Signed , "old dude"

  1. Gary there are no rules in blogging. You can't tell some one how often they can blog or what to blog about. We have had this conversation before. LOL

  3. Tell her how much fun it is to make contacts with people across the whole globe, and maybe she will start posting so she can get comments.

  6. How about ... "I'd love to hear about what's going on in your life right now ... why not blog about it"?

  7. Judi's right, Missy's right. Ben there done that. interestingly, at least one of those people - noting that I blog,, er, regularly, noted that all of his pieces -published three months apart - are polished masterpieces - while I wrote a meme yesterday. Still, I've written SOMETHING of substance in the last three months while he written...NOTHING! See where an argument like that can go?

    Ultimately, I think it comes down to the different kinds of intelligences we have. Blogging, which I mocked four years ago, I now use to remind ME about movies I saw, plays books I've viewed and the like.

    As I've gotten older, the timeline gets a little fuzzier and the blog helps. I suppose so would an electronic private diary, but what's the fun in THAT?
