One thing that seriously bugs me is the whole "blogging with a purpose" thing that seems prevalent in the craft world, certainly, if not in other parts the world, too (I've never noticed it in art land, or gaming land for that matter, how about you guys?)
I mean, who doesn't blog without a purpose?
The fact that I'm sitting here getting irritated about it and sharing with you is a purpose.
Do they seriously think people go on their blogs and just write "bluuuuuuuuuurghle" and then hit post?
I actually think, on a more rational note that, to some degree, it's aimed at people older than me who haven't been internet savvy for 10+ years, and haven't had a journal on some site since Year Dot. But that doesn't stop me getting mad about it.
I also think it's aimed at keeping your blog on the topic at hand (i.e. whatever craft you're interested in), but...er...I've never been good at that (besides which, I can't stick to one craft, so how the hell am I supposed to stick to one topic?? The only time I had any remote success was my gaming journal, way back in the day, on Insanejournal).
Bah, this isn't stopping me getting mad about it. Thoughts?
