There are bloggers and then there are bloggers

Some people use a blog as a personal diary, telling all and sundry the minutiae of their daily lives down to what time they got out of bed and what they ate for breakfast. Others are observers of the world around them but refrain from divulging any personal information about themselves.

Some people take lots of photographs and display them by the hundreds; others take no photographs at all and confine themselves to the written word. Some people post every day; others post once or twice a month at best. Some people receive numerous comments and seem to revel in their popularity and influence; others receive hardly any comments but forge ahead valiantly, undeterred.

I am tempted to say there are as many types of blogs as there are people, but that would be an awful lot of types of blogs. Still, in its own way, each blog is unique.

More power to bloggers everywhere. Long may they wave.

      Hi, Debby. Your comment made me laugh out loud. You took the last sentence in the post literally! Not what I meant exactly, but I appreciate your contribution to the general merriment!

      kylie, thanks for commenting. Variety is the spice of life. Paprika is in second place. Turmeric is third. Saffron is fourth. I'm kidding.

    After your list of blog differences, I thought you were going to finish with something like this: "...and finally there's 'Rhymes With Plague' - the very pinnacle of blogging - bringing amusement, wisdom and education to the masses. Sponsored by 'Moe's Southwest Grill', Canton GA".

      Neil, I had written that in the originalt draft but the Great Editor In The Sky reminded me of Romans 12:3 so I rewrote the ending. If you believe that, there is a bridge in Brooklyn I want to sell you.

    Yes each blog is different. For that I am thankful. I enjoy having a variety of reading material.
