Yep it goes here Life Category
I visited Stephanie's Blog yesterday like I do everyday, and she mentioned a link to a discussion about what makes a good knitting blog. I read the link over and I liked what I read. I have my own feelings on what makes a good knitting blog, here they are:
1) Do what you want, it’s your freakin blog, if you want a picture of cats, dogs, and children, then go ahead and put them in! If people don’t want to read it, they won’t. WHO CARES!
2) I know it is a “knitting blog” but come on, I WISH I could knit everyday. I also can’t knit as fast as Yarn Harlot but I can only hope to. So I won’t always have knitting up there. I do, I noticed, don’t put up how I am progressing on a project. That will change. I have been holding out. So I am going to post more about the works as they progress. Oh yeah, WHO CARES!
3) I like visuals. The more pictures the better. By the way WHO CARES!
4) I don’t like wordy blogs without pictures. Keep it short and sweet. Lest we forget WHO CARES!
5) Readability is very important. If it is too small or on a dark background – forget it. I won’t be bothered. And er WHO CARES!
6) I like humor it makes me laugh! Do you CARE?
7) I already admitted I can’t spell, I am going to spell check more. I am not a grammar person either. All you snobs get over it. I never said I was a writer. Did I mention, WHO CARES?
I am not looking for an audience/fan club, just some friends out there that like the same things I do.
Blog on man.

I was part of that discussion. I'm not sure what the person was looking for. eh, I'm not that picky. I certainly won't change my blog to please them and really no one should - you're right, who cares!

I was the person that started that discussion, and I was not really looking for anything in particular, only an interesting conversation in the community. I was just curious why people read the blogs they do... I guess it stemmed from how I just started a blog, and I wanted to see what other people liked. Yet, all in all, it does not matter! WHO CARES? :)

You said it perfectly. I do not read knit blogs soley to see what others are knitting up, I read them because they are entertaining, sometimes funny, sometimes thoughtful, and for some pictures. Love learning about other parts of the world and people.
