     I try to write one blog entry a day.  That seems to be a good amount.  I don't want to over-produce, because, 'what is the point?'
     I also don't want to over-whelm people with how much I can write in one day.

     Some people will spend eight hours just on one blog entry.  I don't do that.  I am way too lazy to write anything resembling 'good-writing'.  I don't get paid for blogging, so I'm not going to sweat it out just for some casual reader.

     A point was brought up about blogs, about how they are all the same.
     I don't know, I don't read anybody's blogs.  The ones I have seen have been so disappointing that I don't bother to read them anymore.
     If people don't bother with Standard English at all, I ain't gonna read it.
     There is nothing wrong with making a mistake once in a while, but if there are so many mistakes that it shows the writer didn't bother to edit at all, I'm not going to bother with their crap.

     I have a brother who after I linked him to my blog, he said, "Have you ever heard of 'Tumblr'?"
     Why should I care?  I linked him a blog, what does it matter what carrier it is on?

     I like Blogger for its' ease of use, and I have one blog 'set to adult' so I can write and post anything that I want.

     "Boy, this is a popular blog," David thought to himself.
     He didn't care.  Writing blogs didn't really produce that much income.  He did it mostly for fun.
     "I mean, who even cares about the written word anyhow besides texting to some girl on your phone?  No one even cares about books anymore, for Chrissakes...sheez".
     So David just continued listening to 'The Phantom Menace' on audiobook, written by Terry Brooks, trying to make sense of that confused story, and mess of a movie.

     All I can say about blogging is that I write a blog entry a day, across a series of blogs.  Whatever blog I have that fits my mood is the one I write on. I've been writing a lot of stuff about Star Wars, and that is all I mostly care about right now.
     A new subject I am interested in, however, is online selling.  I have to make that happen if I am to survive in this world.
     "Hell, I wouldn't mind having a house, or living in a warehouse...anything is better than the hellhole I am living in now," David mused.

     "Damn, I'm hungry," David thought as he chose not to use the 'S' word.  "I don't want Google on my @ss for profanity."
     David had seen a man arguing with his wife in front of their four year old daughter using the 'F' word the other day.
     "In front of a four year old?  How nice of you!" the woman said to her husband.

     So you see, real life doesn't match what you can and can not do on the web.

     As a general rule of thumb, try and keep it clean on your blogs, except if you set it to adult.  But you can't make money with those blogs.  Advertisers won't touch you, as I found out.
   
     I don't want ads all around my written work anyhow, so I don't care.

     Also, don't spam on your blogs.  It's not a good idea.  Nobody likes that.

     Try and write something good, even though it is hard.

     Also, periodically go back into your blogs, and read them through to see if they make sense.  Sometimes you can gain insight later on that doesn't happen when you are writing.

     Edit, edit, edit is all I can say.  You don't want people thinking you are an idiot.
