Queued up a few blog posts since I was behind a bit.

Paul Stamatiou, on 10 years of blogging: For me blogging here is an outlet for creativity and an eternal personal project where I can tinker with design ideas and various web technologies. As good as any reasons to have your own blog. He also notes this about personal sites: The era of the personal website…

Manton Reece, on his blog, about the fact that he’s using WordPress to “tweet”: I’m very excited about the potential for microblogging. For the last year I’ve been working on a new platform around this stuff. By adopting some of these tips for WordPress, your microblog will be ready for my platform, but more importantly your…

Justin Blanton decides to muddy the waters on the definition of the word blogging even more by using textshots on Twitter to “blog”: With the advent of “textshots”—screenshots of text linked within tweets (and viewed inline on many Twitter clients)—I’ve decided to try something new with Twitter: “blogging”. Blanton is a blogging veteran so we’ll allow…

Bijan Sabet, on his personal blog: My favorite blogs are the simple ones. The ones that are honest, direct and authentic. The ones that allow for self expression and vulnerability. There sure seems to be a lot of chatter about blogging lately. We are seeing the format, medium, style, definition, layout, and tools all change…

Ben Thompson, in a posted entitled Blogging’s Bright Future which I saved in Unmark for over a month… says sites like TechCrunch added to the confusion over the word blog: A big problem with this entire discussion is that there really isn’t a widely agreed-upon definition of what a blog is, thanks in part to…

I’m still meditating on Gemmell’s piece On blogs a few days after reading it. Instead of a blog, let your site be a site. Or a journal. An online anthology. Your collected works. Your essays, to date. Your body of writing. A blog is a non-thing; it’s the refusal to categorise what you produce, and…

Marco Arment: If we want it to get better, we need to start pushing back against the trend, modernizing blogs, and building what we want to come next. If you’ve read my blog for any length of time you know that I agree with him. And I also don’t pretend to know the answers. Here…

Daniel Jalkut on finding the right stuff to publish to a personal blog: I find it sort of charming when people write “whole person” blogs that may contain material spanning from their personal emotions, to the culture they appreciate, to the work that they do, and the politics they believe in. But I also find…

Finally, a meet up that is going to be less about technology and more about blogging. I’m excited for next month’s NEPA WordPress Meet up. Don’t let the name fool you, this one is simply a place for bloggers to chat and enjoy each other’s company. At Coalwork. I have very fond memories of blogger…

This is great. Om is picking up the blog challenge and pulled in three others. I thought it was a great idea and instead of doing it all by myself, I roped in three guys to the 30 day blog challenge. I think world needs a lot more classic blogging — from links to photos…

Lockhard Steele (how does someone have a name that awesome?), on daily blogging: Harder than it looks. Fell off the wagon hard last week in the depths of Eater bug-crushing. Still trying to find a rhythm to this practice. Typing this while on a conference call (suboptimal). Agreed. I’ve been super, super busy at work…

Adam Kuban, who was behind the original New York pizza blog Slice, in an interview by Ben Leventhal: I miss the early days when you could just get up a post about whatever and just kind of express yourself without really thinking about page views, thinking about SEO, thinking about how it will play on…

There is so much awesome going on in the resurgence of personal blogging. I can’t stop reading and linking and smiling. Brent Simmons: My blog’s older than Twitter and Facebook, and it will outlive them. It has seen Flickr explode and then fade. It’s seen Google Wave and Google Reader come and go, and it’ll…

Matt D. Smith, whom I met at Greenville Grok and whose work I admire, recently held a Transform Athens event and asked John Saddington to present. And present he did. On blogging, of all things. Here is what Matt wrote afterwards about the event and blogging: The very fact that you are reading this right…

Dave Weinberger, who started blogging even before me, writes about What blogging was. Your blogroll was a list of links to the bloggers you read and engaged with. It was a way of sending people away from your site into the care of someone else who would offer up her own blogroll. Blogrolls were an…

Dave Winer, on why comments on a blog post turned bad: What bloggers are guilty of — always — is telling their story imperfectly. It’s the imperfections that make it interesting, and human — and worth it. I have an opinion on many things. Typically I have a rather strong opinion on many things. And…

Jason Kincaid wrote, on his personal blog, Evernote, the bug-ridden elephant. The post met with some very encouraging responses… Two days ago I published Evernote, the bug-ridden elephant, recounting the ongoing issues I’ve had with the service (and, more recently, serious incidents of data loss). The response has been staggering: over a hundred comments on my post, hundreds…
