Blogging Hints ... July 22, 2007

Blogging tips

We are always getting asked for blogging tips here …don’t know why that is but anyway here are a few helpful blogging tips for you

1. Be yourself, write about what is on your mind, write about the dog, the cat even what is in your refrigerator

2. Be yourself, try not to use someone else’s poem or writing without their permission or at least putting their name on the bottom

3. Be yourself, you might think your life is boring but it isn’t really, that new mailbox of yours might be the best blog you have ever written just waiting for you to put it in your blog.

4. Be yourself, doesn’t matter if your spellingk ist bud or your language is this
ب كى بار يه ساون بن برساهى write for you

5. Be yourself, all the great writers wrote about their own world Stephen King, Beatrix Potter even Robert Ludlum all wrote about places they had been to, their books have characters in them that the authors knew.

And finally write for you, it doesn’t matter who reads you aren’t their free entertainment, you don’t have to keep the masses happy if they like it they will come back.

“Build it and they will come”- Field of Dreams

The Arabic is part of a sad poem; unfortunately we don’t have an English translation or an author.

Birthday July 07

This month is Bloggers Anonymous birthday
Actually founded on July the 31st but July is the birthday month
besides we can't wait till the end of the month its way to exciting for that

Bloggers Anonymous the Yahoo group is 1 year old !!

So lets party!

Post Amount??

what's a good amount? .. June 21, 2007

Here at Bloggers Anonymous obviously we like to see bloggers
We want to see you blog!
But how many is too many ?
Is 3 a month not enough posts?
We know for a fact that some people can blog 10 times a day
Some others only 2 or 3 times in a month

What's the best amount of blogs to post ?
7+ a week?
7+ a day?
7+ a month?

Do you find it difficult to keep up with the very addicted (10+ a day) missing out on quite a few of thier posts?
Do you wish some people would post more?

What are your thoughts on this
How many posts per day do you make?

New Monthly Message ..July 06, 2007

We have a slight problem on Bloggers Anonymous our monthly messages don't go out
Don't know why they don't even though they are set to go out once a month they just don't

This is the new one, you can fill it out here on this post as well as post to the group

Join Bloggers Anonymous the Y Group

Our little group .. May 28, 2007

360 Bloggers Anonymous When not on 360 do you find yourself thinking about it? Do you find yourself blogging and surfing on 360 for more than 3 hours? Has anyone commented (on 360 and off-line) that you blog on 360 too much? Then it’s time to be honest. You have a 360 addiction This group is for the 360 addicts who don’t need any more friends, don’t need help, just get very itchy and twitchy when away from 360 Thanks go too Hyiidra,Red7 and Eddo who gave both the ideas and the inspiration to form this group Need 360 Friends visitNeed 360 help or advicevisit Note: All members must have a Yahoo 360° page VisitBloggers Anon the 360 page Have visited this page since December 2006

That’s our original group blurb, it won't fit in our group description any more as it exceeds the 2000 character limit that Yahoo Groups allow.
In July Bloggers Anonymous celebrates its birthday; the 360° page that you are reading has its birthday in August.
We would like to think that the group and this 360° page can last that whole year but without the support of members that just cannot be done.
We will be doing a list clean here on this blog page not to worry though it's only those who haven't updated since April, who will be leaving the list here, obviously Bloggers Anonymous is for those with a 360° addiction and as they haven't updated since April they don't have an addiction anymore. This of course will leave room for others.

As a specialty 360° page we do all we can to help in our subject that of course is blogging, Bloggers Anonymous is a specialty page we don’t mind if you have us in favorites we don’t mind if you don’t comment, in fact we don’t really mind if you delete us because as a specialty 360° page we don’t really have time to visit your page anyway, you wouldn’t expect the Yahoo Team 360° page to visit you now would you? Well we really can’t either, sometimes we will though depending on time constraints and if you ask us a question we will try to get to you because we are quite nice people here.

Bloggers Anonymous is a stand alone group it’s not like any other 360º group. Most of our members both in the group and on the 360º page are long time residents of 360º. The 05’ers, been using 360º so long it’s imprinted in their brains. They are true addicts that don’t need friends, help or themes.

Even though we can help you out with technical information on how too use your page we don’t because that not what Bloggers Anonymous does, technical help isn’t fun at all.

We would rather be Blogging.

The group and the Yahoo 360° page basically are a little joke we don't take things seriously here at Bloggers Anonymous because we aren't serious, people we aren't that serious

Please if you have any questions or suggestions (good or bad) for Bloggers Anonymous tell us here have your say help us get to our 1^st birthday

Blog Tile Here ... March 02, 2007

Every entry must have a title
I see a lot of people who just plain old post and the title of the post is the date in fact one person I know just leaves the year no day just the year, every entry is the exact same title!(except for last year of course )
Makes it impossible to know when or where an old post is with just the year
If you notice we leave the date on the entries here but remove the ‘Entry for’ part of the title
We have posted about blog titles before

Here are some of the great titles the members of Bloggers Anonymous came up with

You ARE Interesting! ... February 20, 2007

Interesting

It’s a question we ask ourselves all the time “how do I make my blogs interesting?”

What is interesting though?

What interests one person might not interest another, if you wrote about your devotion to Star Trek I’m sure it would fascinate a Trek fan but a person who is more interested in Get Smart or I Dream of Jeanie would probably not be interested at all

Or you could write about the intricate workings of an internal combustion engine compared to a steam engine, that might interest some people
Maybe write about Tom Cruise, Opra Winfrey or Uriah Heep or ABBA even write about a Stephen King novel you’ve just finished reading
Even what you cooked for dinner and how you cooked it including ingredients I’m sure that would interest some people.
Your poetry, your short stories may bore some to tears or they might pounce on your entry as soon as you post it
Photos of your town may be unexciting to you but will be interesting to other people

See how you make your blog interesting is up to you if you are interested others will be as well you just have to find them
That’s what search is for if I type in “blog addicts” in search I get over 200 people all of them will mention blog addicts somewhere on their 360° page, the top one is Bloggers Anonymous of course. If I put Star Trek I would get these
The thing is to write about what you want to write, what you are interested in and fill out your lists with key words with commas,in,between,the,words and people will find you

“Build it and they will come –Field of Dreams”

Or you can find them.

That way you will have people who are interested in what you write because they are as well

The trick to making your posts interesting is not to write what you think people might like but to write about you what YOU like, what YOU do its your blog do it for YOU

Blog Rules

Yahoo 360° Rules ! ... February 02, 2007

Warning this entry may be long

Yahoo 360° has it’s own set of rules its called the Yahoo! 360° Community Guidelines please visit that link for more, these are just the headings DON'T:

Take action if you come across offensive content.
Enjoy Yahoo! 360°

Some of you have your own sets of rules; your own personal rules like Neddy has
Remember Neddy wrote this these are HIS rules

How to get deleted annoy me a lot by Neddy

- Don’t send me a message telling me I HAVE to read your Blog. Simple. I don’t like being told what to do. Appreciate the fact I drop by when I do. and I do. *points to profile* see? I have LURKING TENDENCIES. That means I drop by when I want, and for how long, as I want. It means I might not leave a message/comment. Not because you sent me a corny ass ultimatum. You will be deleted before I finish reading your message..... This isn’t California, this is Nedland. Ok? There’s no 3 strikes rule up in this bitch. There’s actually a "hair trigger" rule over here. Piss me off once, and I’ll kick you to the curb like Vince Vaughn did Jennifer.....

-Understand that if you know me, you know I can go WEEKS without dropping a single letter on your page. I’m beyond busy. While lurking, I’m at my desk answering phones like Henry the octopus. I’m faxing shit, I’m e-mailing mofos, and I’m dealing with my cranky wife. But, if you were to ask me a question about what’s going on with you, chances are, I know the answer. Please don’t come over here, and whine that you didn’t hear from me in a long time. Give me a break. I already have 2 kids. Grow up....

-Don’t say racist/sexist/dumb shit.zero tolerance. Its fucking 2007 people open up your minds and embrace everyone. Want to spread hatred? Go to a different site. 360° is full of people from EVERY walk of life. That’s what I love about it. Where else in my world could I peek into so many different cultures, learn so much about people? Nowhere. Don’t shit on that. Not only at my place... but anywhere. I’ve deleted MANY peeps for doing just that, saying dumb shit on other pages. I read it. I delete them. Done. Then I get the stupid message..."why did you delete me??"... I cut n paste the dumbshit, put it in my reply, and I never hear from them again. Erase the hate. simple....... -So, to give you the cliff notes, abbreviated, **skimmmersfriendly*, version of what’s above, it’s like this: lighten up and have fun, don’t be bossy or stupid, and everything’s gonna be fine. Thanks

So what are your personal 360° rules? Or Rules of blogging?
